The Mets designated Melendez for assignment Sunday.
Melendez was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse in late June and has now lost his place on New York's 40-man roster. The 27-year-old posted a .665 OPS and 34.7 percent strikeout rate in 144 plate appearances while up with the Mets this season.

The Mets optioned Melendez to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.
Melendez had a hot first couple weeks with the Mets in producing a 1.024 OPS in his first 16 games, but he stumbled to a .123/.273/.222 batting line over his last 40 contests. Tyrone Taylor (hip) has returned from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Melendez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
The Mets are giving Francisco Alvarez a night off from catching but keeping his bat in the lineup at designated hitter, so Melendez will be squeezed out of the starting nine as a result. Melendez has gone hitless in nine at-bats over his last five games, bringing his average down to .191 for the season.

Melendez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
Melendez had started in four of the team's previous five matchups with right-handed pitchers, but the Mets won't have room for him in the lineup Wednesday while Francisco Alvarez handles designated-hitter duties in his second game back from the IL. Since the start of May, Melendez has posted a weak .533 OPS, so he likely still has more work to do in order to strengthen his grasp on a regular lineup sot.

Melendez went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Padres.
Getting the start in left field while Juan Soto got a partial rest as the DH, Melendez took Yuki Matsui deep in the sixth inning -- his fourth homer of the year, and first against a left-handed pitcher. The 27-year-old also made a spectacular diving catch in the second inning to rob Miguel Andujar of extra bases. Melendez hasn't had a multi-hit performance since May 6, batting just .098 (5-for-51) over his last 25 games with a 30.6 percent strikeout rate, but he remains in a battle for playing time with Mark Vientos, who isn't doing much better at the plate over the last few weeks.
