The 24-year-old rookie right-hander struck out four batters on the night while allowing just one base on balls. The only blemish on his evening came on a solo blast off the bat of Julio Rodríguez in the fourth inning. Melton got eight whiffs on 57 pitches in the ballgame, registering a CSW of 30 percent. He should be available out of the Tigers’ bullpen for Game 4 of the series on Wednesday in Detroit.

The 24-year-old right-hander was terrific for the Tigers during the regular season, registering a 2.76 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and a 36/15 K/BB ratio over 45 2/3 innings in 16 appearances (four starts). He was bombed for four runs on three hits and a walk in just 1/3 of an inning in Game 2 of their Wild Card Series matchup against the Guardians. Melton has been pitching primarily out of the bullpen and shouldn’t be expected to work more than a few innings on Saturday. Keider Montero could be an option to log bulk innings behind him or the Tigers could make it a full bullpen game before Tarik Skubal takes the ball in Game 2 on Sunday.

Melton issued a pair of walks in the contest while recording only one strikeout. The only damage done against him came on an RBI double by C.J. Kayfus in the second inning. The 24-year-old hurler got just two swings and misses on 49 pitches on the night, posting a miserable CSW of only 18 percent. For the season, he holds a terrific 2.76 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and a 36/15 K/BB ratio over 45 2/3 innings in 16 appearances (four starts).

Melton has been moved into a relief role and has not thrown more than three innings since August 13th. He has had a tremendous rookie season and has fantasy appeal for 2026, but he likely won’t throw deep enough into the game today to have fantasy value.

Melton threw 43 of his 56 pitches for strikes and could have gone deeper in the game if he hadn’t been used as a bulk reliever in his most recent outings. The 24-year-old posted a 23 percent whiff rate but a 34 percent CSW as he pounded the zone with both his four-seamer and sinker. Melton doesn’t yet have a spot in the Tigers’ rotation, but it might make sense for them to find a way to make that happen.

Melton last threw 3 1/3 innings of long relief on Friday against the Angels, allowing one run on two hits. It’s unclear if this is just a spot start or if the Tigers will be moving to a six-man rotation, but Melton will at least take the ball on Wednesday in a strong streaming situation.

Melton gave up 12 hard-hit balls tonight, but most were still pretty routine, and all five hits he allowed were singles. He also didn’t walk anyone. It definitely adds to his case to stay in the rotation, but there’s a good chance the Tigers will add another starter after losing Reese Olson and gaining Chris Paddack today. If Melton does stick, he’ll likely face the Phillies on Sunday.
