The Houston Astros have placed rookie outfielder Jacob Melton on the 10-day injured list due to a sprained right ankle sustained during Friday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Melton, who has played 11 games this season, posted a batting average of .241 along with a triple and six RBIs. To fill the gap left by Melton, the Astros have promoted outfielder Cooper Hummel and infielder Luis Guillorme from Triple-A Sugar Land. Additionally, utility player Shay Whitcomb has been optioned back to Triple-A.

In a related move, the team has also transferred right-hander Spencer Arrighetti to the 60-day injured list as he continues to recover from a fractured thumb suffered in a batting practice incident. These roster adjustments come as the Astros manage injuries while aiming to maintain their competitive edge in the season.
