The Astros will promote infielder Luis Guillorme to their MLB roster, following the designation of Forrest Whitley for assignment and his trade to Tampa Bay. Guillorme, who has been with Triple-A Sugar Land, has a .245/.376/.310 batting line this season, known for his defense and versatility across infield positions. With Isaac Paredes nursing a mild hamstring strain and potential IL stint for rookie outfielder Jacob Melton due to an ankle sprain, Guillorme may compete for playing time at second base and serve as insurance for the infield.
