The Houston Astros have won three straight games, but the last two came at a price. They lost infielder Isaac Paredes to a hamstring strain in Thursday's 4-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox and rookie outfielder Jacob Melton to ankle soreness in Friday's 10-3 win over the Minnesota Twins.

Paredes has been productive all season, leading the team with 15 homers and 42 RBI. Meanwhile, Melton had the second two-hit game of his career on Friday, including a two-run triple in the third inning. The 24-year-old finished 2-for-2 with three RBI and one run scored.

The Astros made a roster move after Friday's contest, via The Athletic's Chandler Rome.

"The Astros are calling up infielder Luis Guillorme from Triple-A Sugar Land, source tells The Athletic," he reported. "Both Jacob Melton and Isaac Paredes are dealing with injuries, though Melton's appears to be more serious."

Rome later clarified that Houston has an open 40-man roster spot, but will need a 26-man spot.

Guillorme has a career slash line of .251/.336/.322 with five homers and 28 RBI in 414 games. The 30-year-old is slashing .245/.376/.310 with two homers and 21 RBI in 56 Triple-A games this year.

Houston is five games ahead of the Seattle Mariners for first place in the AL West and is 7-3 in its last 10 contests.

The Astros would clinch a series win over the Twins with another win on Saturday. Right-handed pitcher Hunter Brown (8-3, 1.82 ERA) will start on the mound for them against Minnesota right-hander Joe Ryan (7-2, 2.96 ERA).
