2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Matthews is currently situated as Jose Altuve's backup at second base, but the Astros appear bullish on Matthews as the team's long-term option at the keystone. The Astros probably aren't done making moves this offseason, but general manager Dana Brown noted that Matthews would likely get some run in the outfield in 2026, given how crowded the infield is. Matthews is a great athlete with plus speed and above-average raw power. He slashed .260/.371/.458 with 17 home runs, 41 steals and a 27.9 percent strikeout rate in 112 games in the Pacific Coast League. A .167 BABIP and 42.6 percent strikeout rate led to a .167 batting average and .222 on-base percentage in the majors, but he showed off his tools with four home runs and one steal in 13 games. While Matthews has run high strikeout rates, he makes pretty good swing decisions (23.3 O-Swing%, 63.9 Z-Swing% at Triple-A), he just takes big rips at the expense of contact (67.0 Contact%, 14.6 SwStr%). He is a high-upside rookie for 2026 who is currently blocked on the depth chart. Read Past Outlooks
