October 7, 2024 4:09 PM : Melendez is absent from the lineup Monday in Game 2 of the ALDS against the Yankees.
Analysis: It's southpaw Carlos Rodon on the hill for the Yankees, so the left-handed-hitting Melendez will begin the festivities on the bench. Tommy Pham will be in left field and batting seventh for the Royals, while Hunter Renfroe will handle right and hit eighth.
