Nick Maton News
The Detroit Tigers acquired infielder Nick Maton, outfielder Matt Vierling and catcher Donny Sands from the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday in exchange for reliever Gregory Soto and infielder Kody Clemens. With Soto now in Philly, it will likely be Alex Lange taking over Detroit's primary closing duties in 2023. Maton, a utility infielder who has hit .254/.330/434 in his two seasons with the Phillies, could see more playing time in his new home, but he's unlikely to make much of a fantasy impact. Vierling, a right-handed hitting outfielder, will give the Tigers some outfield depth against southpaws. Sands, the Phillies' No. 21 prospect per MLB Pipeline, made his big-league debut in 2022 but played in just two games. He's a contact-first hitter that has added some more loft to his swing recently. The 26-year-old projects as a backup catcher for Detroit.
The Philadelphia Phillies added shortstop Nick Maton and right-hander Nick Nelson to their World Series roster against the Houston Astros this week. In corresponding moves, left-hander Bailey Falter and infielder/outfielder Dalton Guthrie were removed from the World Series roster. Maton will give the Phils another left-handed bat off the bench. In 72 regular season at-bats, he hit .250 (18-for-72) with five home runs, 17 RBI and 13 runs scored in his second big-league season. Nelson has pitched in two playoff games back in 2020 with the New York Yankees. He'll likely operate in middle relief after posting a 4.85 ERA (3.04 FIP), a 1.48 WHIP, one save and 69 strikeouts in 68 2/3 innings over 47 outings (two starts) during the regular season.
Philadelphia Phillies infielder Nick Maton (finger) was scratched from the lineup for Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader with the Marlins due to a right middle finger laceration, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic. Gelb adds that Maton attempted to take batting practice, but apparently was not able to perform well enough to remain in the lineup. With Maton out, Ronald Torreyes is getting the start at third base and is batting seventh in the lineup against Miami. Consider Maton day-to-day for now, and don't be surprised if he misses a game or two.
