Tigers placed RHP Troy Melton on the 15-day injured list with right arm fatigue.

It remains a bit murky regarding what exactly, if anything, is bothering Melton, which is the biggest concern from a long-term standpoint. He’s presumably headed for further evaluation and imaging to determine whether he’s dealing with any structural damage in his arm. The 25-year-old was lifted from Sunday’s start against the White Sox with a trainer in the fourth inning. He’s obviously done for the remainder of the season and finishes with an encouraging 2.76 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 94/37 K/BB ratio across 114 1/3 innings over 20 starts. He’s going to finish as a top-50 range fantasy starter, with his meteoric rise being fueled by a mechanical change that he made back in late June that led to a velocity spike. He’ll be a popular mid-round selection in drafts next spring.
