Melton has not pitched in a spring game due to arm soreness. The Tigers have taken a conservative approach to avoid having him pitch through discomfort. The team is expected to provide an update once he undergoes evaluation, likely on Friday. Melton entered camp preparing to be stretched out as a starter in case an injury within the rotation required the team to tap into its pitching depth.
