Brice Matthews got picked off as a pinch-runner in the eighth and committed an error at third base in the 10th in the loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

That’s an awfully bad game for someone who didn’t even have an at-bat. Matthews was inserted in place of Isaac Paredes after Paredes had a game-tying two-run single in the eighth and was immediately caught off first base. In the 10th, he bobbled a very routine grounder from Jordan Walker to start a rally after Alec Burleson had been retired for the first out. Matthews is also 3-for-28 with 16 strikeouts at the plate this year, and he’d seem to be in line to be demoted when Jeremy Peña comes off the IL.
