The Rays recalled Melton from Triple-A Durham and placed him on the 60-day injured list Tuesday due to a right hamstring strain.
The 26-year-old missed most of August due to a right hamstring strain and appears to have aggravated the injury, which will bring an early end to his 2026 campaign. Melton was acquired from the Astros last winter and was limited to 45 games during his first year in the Rays organization. However, he was productive for Triple-A Durham when available, finishing with a .253/.346/.475 slash line, seven homers and 26 stolen bases.

Melton (hamstring) went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base Tuesday in his return to the Triple-A Durham lineup after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list.
Melton missed approximately three and a half weeks due to a right hamstring strain but looked plenty healthy in his return to the Triple-A lineup while extending his hitting streak to seven games in the process. Over 168 plate appearances at Durham this season, Melton is slashing .307/.410/.562 with seven home runs and 26 steals. He's part of the Rays' 40-man roster and could get a chance to make his Tampa Bay debut in September, when the active roster expands to 28.

Triple-A Durham placed Melton (hamstring) on the 7-day injured list Tuesday.
Melton left Durham's game against Gwinnett on Saturday due to what's since been diagnosed as a right hamstring strain, which will keep him sidelined for at least one week. However, the injury is not expected to be serious, per MLB.com. Melton is slashing .285/.381/.520 with five home runs, 12 doubles, 23 RBI and 23 stolen bases over 148 plate appearances for the Bulls this season.

Melton exited Triple-A Durham's game against Gwinnett on Saturday due to right hamstring tightness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The 25-year-old has played in just 36 games for Durham this season, missing time on account of a left ankle issue and now because of a hamstring injury. Melton has produced a .285/.381/.520 slash line with five home runs and 23 steals with Durham.

Melton (ankle) went 1-for-4 with a run scored Wednesday in his return to the Triple-A Durham lineup after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.
Melton was back in action at Durham for the first time since April 18 after a left ankle sprain kept him on the shelf for more than two months. Prior to being activated, Melton completed a five-game rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, where he went 6-for-11 with a home run, two stolen bases and three walks.

Melton (ankle) has gone 6-for-11 (.545) with a home run, three RBI, five runs scored and two stolen bases over five games during a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League.
Melton, who suffered Grade 2 left ankle sprain back in late April, has since commenced a rehab assignment and is showing no signs of rust. The 25-year-old outfielder is one of Tampa Bay's top prospects, and he should rejoin Triple-A Durham sometime before the end of June if all continues to go well in his recovery.
