August 18, 2022 3:08 PM : Melendez is out of the lineup Thursday against the Rays.
Analysis: Melendez will get a much-needed day off after he started 23 of the team's previous 24 games. While moving between both corner-outfield spots, catcher and designated hitter, Melendez should continue to hold down a full-time spot in the lineup as Kansas City's leadoff man. However, the Royals will turn to fellow rookie Michael Massey as their table setter Thursday, while Melendez gets a chance to rest after going 0-for-18 with five walks over his previous six games.
