Jacob Melton Participating in Baseball Activities
Jacob Melton (ankle) has recently begun participating in baseball activities at the team's facility in Florida. Melton, on the 10-day injured list since June 14 with a sprained right ankle, is still without an exact timetable for a return. The Astros' second-ranked prospect at MLB Pipeline, Melton made his major league debut June 1 and went 7-for-29 with six RBI, 12 strikeouts, and two walks before going on the IL. He hit a productive .254/.371/.508 in 71 plate appearances with Triple-A Sugar Land this year to earn his first call-up. Melton is currently among a handful of Houston outfield options who are shelved with injuries, joining the likes of Jake Meyers (calf), Yordan Alvarez (hand), Chas McCormick (oblique), and Zach Dezenzo (hand).
