The Astros designated the duo for assignment prior to opening day last week. Both men will report to Class AAA Sugar Land, but are no longer on Houston’s 40-man roster. Matijevic made his major league debut last season and appeared in 32 games. Houston acquired Madris from the Detroit Tigers this winter.
