Astros' Brice Matthews: Jumps to Triple-A
Matthews was promoted to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Matthews has hit nine home runs and stolen 16 bags in 42 games at Double-A Corpus Christi so far this season, earning him a chance to compete at the next level.

Astros' Brice Matthews: Dealing with back injury
The Astros announced that Matthews was placed on Double-A Corpus Christi's 7-day injured list Friday due to back muscle spasms, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
For the second time this season, Matthews has been shut down with a back issue, as he had previously missed most of May due to what the Astros had described as low back discomfort. The infielder returned to action for High-A Asheville on June 1 before moving up to Corpus Christi two and a half weeks later. Since getting promoted to Double-A, Matthews had slashed .225/.344/.441 with six home runs and 10 stolen bases across 131 plate appearances.

Astros' Brice Matthews: Returns with two-homer day
Matthews (back) returned from High-A Asheville's 7-day injured list Saturday and went 2-for-3 with two home runs and one walk.
Matthews, the No. 28 overall pick in last year's draft, missed about a month with lower-back discomfort. As a college draftee in his age-22 season at High-A, the expectation should be that Matthews puts up huge numbers in the extremely hitter-friendly park in Asheville. Indeed, he has a 1.476 OPS at home and a .602 OPS on the road, albeit in a tiny sample.
