Brice Matthews, the Astros' electrifying top-ranked infielder, is officially joining the team! He's been called up from Triple-A Sugar Land and will be suiting up for the start of their highly anticipated series against the Texas Rangers tonight!

This 23-year-old phenom, rated by MLB.com as the organization's #1 prospect, has been absolutely tearing it up in Sugar Land. Matthews boasts a sizzling .283 batting average this season, unleashing 12 doubles, five triples, and 10 monster home runs while driving in 39 RBIs in just 73 games! But it's not just his power that's impressive; his plate discipline is off the charts with a .400 on-base percentage and a scorching .476 slugging percentage. And just when you thought he couldn't get any more dynamic, he's also swiped a team-leading 25 bases, ranking him fourth in the entire Pacific Coast League! Talk about a five-tool player!

Matthews, primarily dazzling at second base, was snatched up by the Astros as the 28th overall pick in the 2023 amateur draft. He's been on an absolute tear, especially in June, where he earned the prestigious organization's Minor League Player of the Month honors! During that incredible stretch, he hit a phenomenal .306 with six doubles, three triples, four home runs, and 16 RBIs in just 25 games. And who could forget his unforgettable cycle on May 10 against Sacramento, where he went a dazzling 4-for-6 with two RBIs?

Get ready to witness the future of the Astros, Houston! Brice Matthews is here, and he's ready to make an immediate impact! The Astros will announce a corresponding roster move later today.
