MJ Melendez Doubles In Sunday’s Game

MJ Melendez

Kansas City Royals catcher MJ Melendez doubled, singled, and walked in four plate appearances during Sunday’s 4-0 loss to the Seattle Mariners. Since being called up at the beginning of May, the rookie has strong numbers, slashing .254/.348/.455 with six long balls, 14 runs, and 17 RBI across 40 games. Although Salvador Perez is locked in at catcher, Melendez is still finding playing time at designated hitter and in the outfield. A top prospect coming into the season, fantasy managers looking for some help at the backstop position should be looking to add the 23-year-old.
