MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Marlins have picked up a $1.5 million option on reserve catcher Jeff Mathis.
Mathis, a 10-year veteran, batted .200 with two homers and 12 RBIs in 64 games for Miami last year as a backup to Jarrod Saltalamacchia.
The Marlins exercised the option Saturday for Mathis, who also made $1.5 million this year.
