The Fort Ann product is now with the Erie Seawolves.

Tyler Mattison continues his road back in the Minors. 

The Fort Ann product was recently returned to the Erie Seawolves, the AA affiliate of the Detroit Tigers.  This was the level Mattison was playing ball in September 2023 before having to step away for the 2024 season for Tommy John surgery. 

He made his Minor League Baseball season debut on May 28th, first pitching for Lakeland of the Florida State League in single A.  After that debut, he was with the A+ affiliate, Western Michigan, as he continued on his rehab assignment.  And even though he got roughed up for 5 earned runs in a total of 2 innings pitched in his final two assignments with Western Michigan, Mattinson was called up to Erie.

On Saturday, June 28th, Mattison made his season debut for the Erie Seawolves as he pitched an inning against Somerset, striking out one against giving up a hit.  On his second appearance with the Seawolves on July 1st, Mattison took the mound in the 8th inning.  But he walked three and gave up one hit, allowing two runs to score as Akron would pad their lead to 4.

For the season, Mattison has pitched 11 1/3rd innings between his time with Western Michigan and Erie, often in late game situations.
