Not starting Sunday
Matthews is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Matthews started at second base in his first two MLB games after being promoted Friday, and he'll take a seat after going 0-for-7 with five strikeouts. Mauricio Dubon will shift to the keystone while Zack Short receives a start at shortstop.

Officially called up
The Astros selected Matthews' contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday.
Analysis
As expected, the 23-year-old will join Houston for the start of a three-game homestand against Texas and is poised to make his MLB debut. Matthews has posted 10 home runs and 25 stolen bases, along with an .876 OPS for Sugar Land this season. He could take over as the starter at second base while Jose Altuve reinforces the Astros' injury-plagued outfield, which just lost Jake Meyers (calf).
