Isaac Paredes is also out for a third consecutive game with a strained hamstring as Houston goes through another round of injuries.

The Houston Astros have placed rookie outfielder Jacob Melton on the 10-day injured list with a sprained right ankle.

Jacob Melton was making a strong first impression on Astros manager Joe Espada and his teammates in his first taste of the Major Leagues, including a single and a triple in his first two at-bats in Friday’s 10-3 win over the Twins.
