August 1, 2025 3:00 PM : The Royals optioned Melendez to Triple-A Omaha on Friday.
Analysis: With the Royals' acquisitions of Randal Grichuk and Mike Yastrzemski in the past week, Melendez was an expendable piece in the Kansas City outfield. Melendez has slashed an ugly .083/.154/.167 with one home run, one RBI, five runs scored and a 3:23 BB:K across 65 plate appearances at the major-league level this season.
