MLB Note - Pittsburgh Pirates Mathis, Doug

Sep 23, 2017 - 8:31 AM C Jeff Mathis (hand) was cleared for baseball activity Monday, but his recovery appears to be a process that will last into early October. Nevertheless, manager Torey Lovullo asked Mathis to join the team on the latest road trip. "He talks to the catchers, walks through different thoughts," Lovullo said. "He's involved on a pretty impressive level."
