Melancon considers himself an adventurous eater, but extended his diet even further last month at the Sweets and Snacks Expo in Chicago, when the Giants were in town for a series against the Cubs. Aketta frames their flavored, roasted crickets as a high-protein source that has the “taste and smell profile of sunflower seeds and roasted nuts.” They can be plucked out of a bag like chips,…just don’t expect people to think you’re eating chips.

Christian Arroyo can't be any more unlucky. The Giants' top prospect returned from the Triple-A DL Saturday night with the Sacramento River Cats and was hit on the same injured left hand at the plate in his second at-bat.

Arroyo suffered a broken left hand, Bruce Bochy announced to reporters in Pittsburgh Sunday and is scheduled to miss at least two months.
