Melton (ankle) recently transitioned his rehab program to the Astros' spring training facility in Florida and is in the midst of hitting, running and throwing progressions, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Melton hit .241 with no home runs and three stolen bases in 11 games with Houston before landing on the injured list June 14 due to a right ankle sprain. The outfielder could be ready to begin a rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break, but the Astros haven't yet offered up a definitive target date for his return from the IL.

GM Dana Brown said Sunday that Melton will require "at least four weeks or so" to recover from his right ankle sprain, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Melton landed on the injured list Saturday after suffering the ankle sprain Friday against the Twins, and he'll be sidelined for at least the next month. The 24-year-old could be back for the start of the second half July 18 in Seattle, assuming he can avoid any setbacks.

The Astros placed Melton (ankle) on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Melton was taken out of Friday's game against Houston in the fifth inning due to what was later diagnosed as a right ankle sprain. He'll now need to miss at least the next 10 days of action. It's unfortunate timing for the rookie, who had been starting regularly in left field and had begun to pick things up at the plate, going 4-for-9 with four RBI over his past four games. Cooper Hummel and Luis Guillorme were both called up from Triple-A on Saturday, while Shay Whitcomb was optioned to Triple-A and Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) was transferred to the 60-day IL.

Melton was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain after Friday's win over Minnesota, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Melton is set to undergo testing Saturday to determine the severity of his injury, but manager Joe Espada noted that early indicators aren't favorable. If Melton ends up needing an IL stint, Jose Altuve and Shay Whitcomb would likely see increased time in the outfield.

Melton was removed from Friday's game against the Twins with right ankle soreness, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Melton had gone 2-for-2 with three RBI and a run scored before his ankle forced him out of the game in the fifth inning. It's currently unclear if his injury is severe enough to put him at risk of missing time, but Jose Altuve may spend more time in left field if that ends up being the case.

Melton went 0-for-4 with a stolen base Sunday against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Melton has started six of seven games since being recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land. He has only three hits across 20 at-bats while striking out eight times, though he also has two stolen bases, two RBI and two runs scored.

Melton is not in the Astros' starting lineup against the Guardians on Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Melton has started in each of the Astros' last five games since making his major-league debut this past Sunday, and he recorded the first RBI of his career against the Pirates on Thursday. He'll be in the dugout for the beginning of Saturday's game while Jose Altuve, Jake Meyers and Mauricio Dubon man the outfield for Houston.

Melton went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base during Thursday's 8-2 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Melton picked up a couple of career firsts in Friday's big win. First, he picked up his first two RBI of his big league career with a two-run single. Then, he showed off his speed and stole second for the first stolen base of his career. It's a good first step for the 24-year-old, who should continue to get an extended look at playing time with Yordan Alvarez (hand) on the injured list for the foreseeable future.
