Astros place rookie OF Zach Dezenzo (hand) on 10-day IL

By MLB Premium News Jun 2, 2025 | 7:30 AM

The Houston Astros placed rookie outfielder Zach Dezenzo on the 10-day injured list on Sunday because of inflammation in his left hand.
In a corresponding move, the Astros selected the contract of top outfield prospect Jacob Melton from Triple-A Sugar Land. To make room for Melton on the 40-man roster, right-hander Ronel Blanco was transferred from the 15- to the 60-day injured list. Blanco is scheduled to have season-ending surgery on his right elbow this week.
Dezenzo, 25, left Houston’s 16-3 loss Saturday to the visiting Tampa Bay Rays after going 1-for-2 with one run scored. He is batting .245 with two homers and 10 RBIs in 34 games this season. Dezenzo played in 19 games in 2024, and for his career is hitting .244 with four homers and 18 RBIs in 53 games.
Melton, 24, is the No. 2 prospect in the Astros organization per MLB Pipeline and No. 1 by Baseball America. Houston selected him in the second round of the 2022 MLB Draft out of Oregon State.
He started Sunday’s game in center field and batted eighth, going 1-for-3 with a single and two strikeouts in his major league debut as the Astros beat the Rays 1-0.
