MJ Melendez left Sunday’s game with back tightness, reports Anne Rogers.
Melendez was removed from Sunday’s game before the bottom of the fourth and replaced in right field for what the team described as lower back tightness. He had opened the scoring with a home run in the first and struck out in the third inning.
Matt Quatraro told @DHoltzy in the postgame news conference that MJ Melendez’s back tightened not on a specific play but jogging off the field after the bottom of the 3rd.
