Houston’s top prospect, infielder Brice Matthews, has been called up from Triple-A Sugar Land to join the Astros for the start of their series against the Texas Rangers on Friday night.
Matthews, rated as the organization’s top prospect by MLB.com, is hitting .283 with 12 doubles, five triples, 10 home runs and 39 RBIs in 73 games for Sugar Land this season. He has a .400 on-base percentage and a .476 slugging percentage. His team-leading 25 stolen bases rank fourth in the Pacific Coast League.
Matthews, who has primarily played second base this season, was taken 28th overall by the Astros in the 2023 amateur draft. He had a great June where he earned the organization’s minor-league player of the month honors after hitting .306 with six doubles, three triples, four home runs and 16 RBIs in 25 games.
The 23-year-old hit for the cycle on May 10 against Sacramento when he went 4 for 6 with two RBIs.
The Astros will make a corresponding move later Friday.

The Cincinnati Bengals' standoff with this year's No. 17 overall pick, former Texas A&M defensive end Shemar Stewart, is well documented.

UFC Fight Night prediction — Derrick Lewis vs. Tallison Teixeira: Card, start time, odds, where to watch
Derrick Lewis will cash a check against anyone. Tallison Teixeira seeks to expedite his rise by beating a heavyweight stalwart. Their clashing philosophies meet at UFC Fight Night in Nashville on Saturday.Lewis (28-12, 1 NC) has carved his niche in mixed martial arts. "The Black Beast" is the record holder for most UFC knockouts and has fought twice for UFC gold. Most fighters are obsessed with being a champion, but Lewis' outlook is refreshingly grounded. Lewis, 40, does not care who stands across from him so long as he's getting paid. MMA is prize fighting after all."It's always been the number one thing, even when I started," Lewis told CBS Sports. "I was fighting every other month before I was in the UFC. That's how I'd pay my rent. My rent was $525 a month. I'd fight every other month, […]
2025 Scottish Open TV schedule, coverage, channel, golf live stream, where to watch final tune-up before Open
Getty Images The Scottish Open has become a significant event on the golf schedule ever since it began serving as a partner tournament between the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour. That has allowed the best players from both tours to come together for a chance to play links golf in preparation for The Open Championship a week later. And while many fans are focused on the British version of the Open next week, the Scottish is a tremendous tournament in its own right.The biggest names from the PGA Tour are on site at the Renaissance Club with Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Ludvig Åberg and Collin Morikawa still in contention entering the weekend. Chris Gotterup holds the 36-hole lead, but his advantage is far from comfortable given the heavy hitters inside the top 15 of the leaderboard. […]

The sophomore point guard and former five-star was stopped in Lee County, Alabama, per the sheriff's office database. Bond was set at $1,000. Pettiford averaged 11.6 points per game last season as a first-year star, helping the Tigers reach the Final Four. Prior to Pettiford withdrawing his name from the 2025 NBA Draft in May, Auburn coach Bruce Pearl raved about his ability and influence on the 2025-26 team if he chose to return."Je's going to have to play an expanded role, which I know is something that is exciting to him — and probably exciting to our fan base, too, because we'll get to see more of him," Pearl said, via Auburn Undercover. "He'll be a starter. There will be more on […]
