Overview

  • Jacob Melton suffered a right ankle sprain during Friday’s game against the Minnesota Twins and was placed on the 10-day injured list.
  • Luis Guillorme and Cooper Hummel were selected from Triple-A Sugar Land to fill Melton’s spot on the active roster.
  • Infielder Shay Whitcomb was optioned to Triple-A and starter Spencer Arrighetti was transferred to the 60-day injured list to clear 40-man roster spots.
  • Guillorme’s seven MLB seasons bring defensive versatility across second base, third base and shortstop while Hummel offers experience in corner outfield, corner infield and catcher roles.
  • The moves extend Houston’s injury challenges, which include Isaac Paredes sidelined by a hamstring strain and earlier absences for Yordan Alvarez and Chas McCormick.
