He had been selected to play in Saturday’s MLB All-Star Futures Game before the call-up.
Astros manager Joe Espada said the plan is to play Matthews every day, possibly mixing him in at shortstop — where he played the majority of his college and minor-league career — in addition to second base.
“We know he’s a threat on the bases. He’s driving the ball,” Espada told reporters. “I think he brings a dynamic intensity on both sides of the ball to the lineup right now.”
