Astros Call Up Pecko, Move Matthews | Houston Astros News

Astros make a pivotal roster move as Brice Matthews heads to the 60-day IL, clearing the way for Ethan Pecko’s major league debut — a surprise call-up for the pitching prospect with a unique journey. Reliever Miguel Ullola is sent down to make room, while Matthews continues rehabbing, still sidelined from base-running due to knee recovery. With offensive struggles and a narrowing division lead, the Astros are juggling depth, adding Daulton Varsho and Nelson Velázquez to bolster the outfield. Pecko’s debut comes at a critical time as Houston fights to stay alive in the playoff race. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
