Astros rookie outfielder Jacob Melton sidelined with a sprained ankle

The Houston Astros have placed rookie outfielder Jacob Melton on the 10-day injured list with a sprained right ankle

Officially brought up to Houston The Astros selected Guillorme's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Guillorme had spent the campaign with Triple-A Sugar Land until Saturday, posting a .248/.377/.317 slash line with two homers, 22 RBI and three stolen bases over 57 contests. The veteran utility man logged big-league time with three different teams last year after spending the first six years of his MLB career with the Mets. Guillorme's call-up was part of a flurry of Astros roster moves Saturday -- pitcher Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) was transferred to the 60-day IL, outfielder Jacob Melton (ankle) landed on the 10-day IL, utility man Shay Whitcomb was optioned to the minors and outfielder Cooper Hummel also had his contract selected from Triple-A.

Headed to Houston The Astros are expected to select Guillorme's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Isaac Paredes (hamstring) and Jacob Melton (ankle) both going down with injuries over the past couple of days, the Astros will turn to Guillorme to provide some bench depth. The 30-year-old infielder hasn't been particularly impressive in the minors this season, slashing .245/.376/.310 with 21 RBI and 24 runs scored across 242 plate appearances.

Astros release outfielder Ben Gamel and left-hander Jalen Beeks

The Houston Astros have released outfielder Ben Gamel and left-hander Jalen Beeks

Links up with Houston The Astros signed Guillorme to a minor-league contract Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Guillorme, 30, slashed just .205/.301/.273 over 77 games in 2024 while seeing action with three different teams. He's known for his steady glove and could win a reserve role in Houston, with the possibility of some starts at second base if the Astros wind up using Jose Altuve in left field extensively.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Reports to Triple-A Guillorme was sent outright to Triple-A Reno on Monday, per MLB's transaction log.

Impact Guillorme was designated for assignment by the D-Backs on Friday and will report to the Aces after failing to draw interest on waivers. The 29-year-old is slashing .205/.301/.273 with 10 RBI, four stolen bases and 14 runs scored over 79 games across stops with Arizona, Atlanta and Los Angeles so far this year.

Diamondbacks activate OF Lourdes Gurriel from injured list

Lourdes Gurriel is back to assist the Arizona Diamondbacks in their playoff push

SEPTEMBER 20, 2024

Jettisoned from 40-man roster The Diamondbacks designated Guillorme for assignment Friday, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact The transaction was made in order to free up a spot on the active roster for the return of Lourdes Gurriel from the injured list. Guillorme played a decent amount while Ketel Marte was injured, but his role has been limited since Marte returned to action.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes bag in loss Guillorme started at second base and went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Rockies.

Impact The steal was Guillorme's third in 18 games since joining the Diamondbacks. Ketel Marte was given the day off, clearing the way for Guillorme to get a start. Now that Marte is back from an ankle injury and regularly playing the field, Guillorme has receded into a backup role. Tuesday's start was his first in seven contests.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Draws back into starting nine Guillorme will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Astros.

Impact The lefty-hitting Guillorme had been on the bench in each of the last three contests while the Diamondbacks opposed left-handed starters, but he'll draw back into the starting nine Sunday versus Astros righty Justin Verlander. Despite his inclusion in the lineup, Guillorme's opportunities to play against righties will likely be more limited moving forward following Ketel Marte's return from the injured list.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Idle against lefty Guillorme is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact With southpaw Justin Wrobleski toeing the rubber for the Dodgers, the lefty-hitting Guillorme will open the contest on the bench. Platoon mate Kevin Newman checks in for Guillorme at second base.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

On bench against lefty Guillorme is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact As per usual, Guillorme will take a seat against a left-handed opposing pitcher (Clayton Kershaw). Kevin Newman will bat eighth and play second base Friday.

AUGUST 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against lefty Guillorme is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

Impact Guillorme will hit the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Joc Pederson and Adrian Del Castillo as the Mets send southpaw David Peterson to the hill for the series finale. Kevin Newman will get the nod at second base Thursday, but Guillorme should be locked in the large side of a platoon at the position until Ketel Marte (ankle) is ready to return from the injured list.

AUGUST 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Makes third consecutive start Guillorme started at second base and went 0-for-2 with two walks, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-1 win over Boston.

Impact Guillorme, who was signed last Tuesday, made a third consecutive start -- all against right-handed starters -- and appears to have moved into a platoon at second base with Kevin Newman for as long as it takes Ketel Marte (ankle) to return. Marte is not yet asymptomatic, manager Torey Lovullo told Arizona Sports on Friday, so there could be plenty of opportunities for Guillorme in the short term. The utility infielder is 2-for-10 with four walks, one RBI, two steals and two runs scored in first three games with the Diamondbacks.

AUGUST 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Makes debut for Arizona Guillorme started at second base and went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 10-8 win over Miami.

Impact Guillorme made his debut for the Diamondbacks, who signed him earlier in the week as a reaction to starting second baseman Ketel Marte (ankle) landing on the injured list. He's expected to serve as the backup at the keystone while Marte is sidelined, but Guillorme provides a left-handed complement to primary fill-in Kevin Newman.

Signing with Arizona The Diamondbacks signed Guillorme to a one-year contract Tuesday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Impact Per Alvarez-Montes, Guillorme is already with his new team at loanDepot Park in Miami, so it appears he will be active for Tuesday's game versus the Marlins. The Diamondbacks will need to make roster moves in order to add him to their 26-man and 40-man rosters. Guillorme, who was released by the Angels over the weekend, has a paltry .218/.285/.290 slash line in 138 plate appearances between Atlanta and Los Angeles. However, he offers a steady glove and gives Arizona an option at second base while Ketel Marte (ankle) is out.

AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cut loose by Halos The Angels released Guillorme on Sunday.

Impact The 29-year-old was designated for assignment by the Angels on Friday and will now exit the organization. In 61 games between Atlanta and Los Angeles this season, Guillorme has a .218/.285/.290 slash line in 138 plate appearances.
