Brice Matthews Struggling Since Earning Promotion
Brice Matthews has struggled to find his footing during his first taste of the major leagues. Matthews made his MLB debut on July 11 but has gone 0-for-7 during his first two games in Houston. During this stretch, he has struck out five times and drawn a walk. His rough start also sent him to the bench during Houston's final game before the All-Star break. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on his status as the Astros could option him back to Triple-A if these struggles continue. Through his first two games, Matthews has covered the keystone. However, once Jake Meyers, Yordan Alvarez, or Jeremy Pena return, Matthews could be in danger of losing his roster spot. Earlier this season at Triple-A, the top prospect in Houston held a strong .283/.400/.476 line with 10 home runs and 25 stolen bases. Given his five-category potential, he is worth holding in all deeper 12+ team leagues for the time being.
