The Phillies have signed catcher Jeff Mathis to a minor league contract with an invitation to attend major league spring training, the club announced today.

Mathis, 37, played in 24 games for the Texas Rangers in 2020, throwing out four of 12 attempted base stealers. He has played in 911 games at catcher over 16 major league seasons with the Los Angeles Angels (2005-11), Toronto Blue Jays (2012), Miami Marlins (2013-16), Arizona Diamondbacks (2017-18) and Rangers (2019-20). Those 911 games are sixth-most among all active catchers in baseball.

Additionally, the Phillies have invited catcher Rodolfo Durán to attend major league spring training. Durán participated in Florida Instructional League and played in the Dominican Winter League following the 2020 season. In 2019, Durán caught 26 of 64 attempted base stealers (40.6%) and did not commit an error in 64 games at catcher for single-A Clearwater. The previous season, he ranked among South Atlantic League leaders in nearly all defensive catching numbers and clubbed 18 home runs in 66 games. Durán, 22, was signed by the Phillies as an amateur free agent in 2014.
