Astros' J.J. Matijevic: Stays in Houston organization

The Astros outrighted Matijevic to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday.

Matijevic will remain in the organization after going unclaimed off waivers when Houston designated him for assignment prior to Opening Day. The 27-year-old reached the majors for the first time in 2022, hitting .209 with two home runs and five RBI across 71 plate appearances for the Astros.
