The Houston Astros have optioned struggling outfielder Corey Julks to Triple-A Sugar Land and are considering promoting former top prospect Jon Singleton to fill the roster spot.

Singleton, who was once the top position player in Houston's farm system, struggled on and off the field during his previous stint with the Astros and was released in 2018. He appeared in his first MLB game since 2015 earlier this year with the Milwaukee Brewers, going 3 for 29 in 11 appearances.
The Houston Astros have outrighted Bligh Madris and J.J. Matijevic to Triple-A Sugar Land after they went unclaimed on waivers. Madris was acquired from the Tigers over the offseason and has only played in the MLB with the Pirates, hitting .177/.244/.265 through 123 plate appearances as a rookie last season. Matijevic, who has spent his entire career with Houston, compiled a .209/.254/.328 line through 71 plate appearances in his first big league call in 2022. Both players will stick in the Houston organization and try to work their way back into consideration for roster spots.
