April 22, 2024 4:27 PM : Melendez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.
Analysis: With lefty Yusei Kikuchi on the bump for Toronto, the Royals will stock up on some extra right-handed bats. Dairon Blanco and Garrett Hampson will both pick up starts in the outfield while Melendez and fellow lefty-hitting regular Kyle Isbel hit the bench.
