2023 Projections
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. Read Past Outlooks

Optioned out to Triple-A
The Astros optioned Matijevic to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Matijevic struggled to a .626 OPS in 40 plate appearances in the Grapefruit League this spring after batting just .209/.254/.328 over his first 71 major-league plate appearances last year. He'll serve as minor-league depth for Houston leading into the 2023 season.
