Astros place rookie OF Zach Dezenzo (hand) on 10-day IL
June 2 - 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.

MrBeast claims he has 'very little money' and asked his mom to pay for his wedding
Despite reportedly being worth an estimated $1 billion, MrBeast claims he has 'very little money' and needs his family's support to fund his upcoming wedding to his fiancée, fellow content creator Thea Booysen. Responding to a post on X (formerly Twitter) which described MrBeast - whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson - as 'the only billionaire under 30 to have not inherited his wealth,' the YouTube star with more than 400 million subscribers responded late on Sunday. 'I personally have very little money because I reinvest everything (I think this year we'll spend around a quarter of a billion on content),' he posted. 'Ironically I'm actually borrowing money from my mom to pay for my upcoming wedding lol,' he continued, adding, 'But sure, on paper the businesses I own are worth a lot.' MrBeast not only posts across various social media platforms but he's also the host of the reality competition series Beast Games, which awarded its first season winner a record-breaking $10 million in prize money. His videos often feature outrageous stunts and big-money giveaways. At Amazon's annual upfront presentation in May, it was announced that Prime Video's most-watched unscripted show was renewed for seasons 2 and 3. Despite his social media stardom, it seems as though MrBeast might need a tighter budget for his wedding as planning for the ceremony continues with his mother's financial assistance. MrBeast publicly wrote that he has 'very little money' despite having an estimated $1 billion net worth MrBeast met Booysen in 2022 when he was visiting her home country, South Africa. The pair started dating about a month later, and made their first red carpet appearance as a couple at the Kids' Choice Awards in April 2022. The content creators, both 27, exclusively revealed to People that they got engaged on Christmas Day in 2024. At the time, they also teased their wedding plans and how they wanted to keep their big day out of the spotlight. 'This will definitely be more family and friends - definitely more private,' MrBeast told the outlet. 'I don't take much vacation because of how hard I work, so I definitely want to make sure that the wedding will be a time to celebrate with her and spend time with friends and family who we really enjoy being with. 'It will be the ultimate way to take some time away and enjoy things.' Booysen added that they were thinking of tying the knot on an island. 'We're thinking of doing it somewhere on an island where we're far away from just about everybody,' she said. 'We're not going to try and have a big, extravagant wedding. 'It's going to be nice, but it's certainly going to be intimate [with] close family and friends.'
