The Astros are set to promote outfielder Jacob Melton to the major league roster, as reported by Ari Alexander of KPRC2, though the corresponding roster moves are not yet known. Melton, a 24-year-old second-round pick from the 2022 draft, is regarded as Houston’s top prospect following the graduation of Cam Smith and has shown strong minor league performance with a .254/.371/.508 line in 17 Triple-A games this year, despite concerns about his aggressive batting approach. His solid defensive skills and base running make him a valuable addition to the team.
