The Houston Astros have been dealing with a ton of injuries recently, allowing some highly-regarded prospects and journeymen the chance at consistent playing time. Outfielder Jacob Melton, the team’s top rated prospect, was going to be afforded the chance to show what he could do at the highest level with the chance to play virtually every day. Many people thought this would be the first chance to see another top prospect, Brice Matthews, get a shot at the Major League level. While not an outfielder like Melton, the Astros could have used Mauricio Dubon as a regular in the grass to give Matthews a chance at consistent playing time at second base.
