If Mathias sticks around in the organization through the start of the minor-league season, he'll report to Triple-A Louisville.

Mathias finished the 2023 campaign on the Giants' 60-day injured list due to a right shoulder strain, but he looks to be back to full health as the start of the 2024 season nears.
