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

Picks up first RBI of career
Melton went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base during Thursday's 8-2 win over the Pirates.
Analyse
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.

Called up, starting in CF in debut
The Astros selected Melton's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday. He'll start in center field and bat eighth in the Astros' series finale versus the Rays, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Regarded as one of the Astros' top prospects, Melton receives his first big-league call-up after slashing .254/.371/.508 with two home runs, three stolen bases and a 21.4 percent strikeout rate over 70 plate appearances with Sugar Land. Melton's ability to play all three outfield spots could allow him to see at least semi-regular playing time, especially while the team has the designated hitter spot open with Yordan Alvarez (hand) on the injured list.
