Getting regular run in center field
Melton will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Orioles, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Analyse
Melton will stick in the starting nine for the fourth time in five games. Though he may have the opportunity to handle a strong-side platoon role in center field until Jake Meyers (calf) returns from the injured list, Melton is slashing just .200/.250/.244 with a 39.6 percent strikeout rate over his first 48 big-league plate appearances.

Called up by Houston
The Astros recalled Melton from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday.
Analyse
Houston optioned left-hander Colton Gordon to Triple-A to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Melton. The 24-year-old outfielder received his first big-league call-up June 1 and went 7-for-37 (.206 average) with no home runs and three steals over 13 games while also missing extended time due to a sprained ankle before he was demoted to Triple-A on Aug. 1. Though he's back with the big club, Melton likely won't be in line for regular playing time while Jesus Sanchez, Taylor Trammell and Cam Smith typically form Houston's starting outfield trio.
