Melancon earned his sixth save of the season for Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday. He now has a 0.60 ERA in 15 innings and has allowed only 14 base runners.
Recommendation: Melancon seems to have worked out the problems that plagued him in April, and his 13.80 K/9 in Triple-A indicates he is ready for major league action once again. However, with the Red Sox bullpen performing well of late there is no roster move to be made. Barring injury an Andrew Miller meltdown is Melancon's best shot for a call-up.
