TOKYO (Reuters) ? Former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Scott Mathieson has signed for Japan's Yomiuri Giants, his new club said on Friday.
The 27-year-old right-hander was 1-4 with a 6.75 ERA in eight starts and seven relief appearances since joining the Phillies in 2006.
The Giants snapped up Canadian Mathieson, who surrendered no runs in four relief appearances this year, after he was released by Philadelphia earlier this week.
Mathieson has also notched a 32-37 record with a 3.75 ERA and 34 saves in 96 starts and 104 relief outings in the minor leagues.
Japanese media reported that Mathieson has signed for Japan's best-supported team on a one-year deal worth one million dollars. He is scheduled to arrive in Japan next month.
