Rest-of-Season Projections
Signs with Mexican League team
Matijevic has signed with the Dorados de Chihuahua of the Mexican Baseball League, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old got a cup of coffee with the Astros in 2022 before spending all of 2023 in the minors and eventually being removed from their 40-man roster and released. Matijevic has mostly played first base and corner outfield but has dabbled at third base and center field.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Matijevic received his first taste of the big leagues last season and had a .209/.254/.328 and 35.2 percent strikeout rate in 71 plate appearances. Conclusions can't be drawn from such a small sample size, but the 27-year-old had the same swing-and-miss issues he's exhibited in the minors. Despite those problems he has an .878 OPS with 32 home runs at Triple-A over the past two seasons. Matijevic may have a tough time opening the 2023 campaign on the big-league roster, but he should receive some opportunities given that Houston's projected starters in left and center field, (Chas McCormick and Jake Meyers), haven't exactly established themselves as everyday players. Any outfield additions via trade or free agency would hurt Matijevic's outlook as a result.
