Mark Melancon Records His First Save Thursday
Jun. 21, 2018
San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Mark Melancon recorded his first save of the season Thursday versus the Padres. Melancon allowed one hit and struck out one in his outing. Since closer Hunter Strickland (hand) landed on the disabled list, Melancon, Reyes Moronta and Sam Dyson have all recorded saves. Melancon was signed to a big contract prior to last season and could see some run as the closer, but there is no clear closer for the Giants and manager Bruce Bochy could decide to play the matchups. Melancon is worth a speculative add for owners who are chasing saves and who lost out on Dyson. It's unclear at this point if Bochy will give Dyson another chance in the ninth inning after he allowed two runs and was pulled on Wednesday.

Mark Melancon Pitches In The Seventh Innings Tuesday
Jun. 19, 2018
San Francisco Giants reliever Mark Melancon pitched a scoreless seventh innings Tuesday against the Marlins. With Hunter Strickland landing on the disabled list, Mark Melancon was thought to be the front runner for the available closer roll in San Francisco, but looks less likely now that he was used so early in the game. Melancon could still be in the mix for saves, but he has to compete with Sam Dyson who has the most recent save and Will Smith with his 0.90 ERA and 0.70 WHIP.

Mark Melancon Activated From The Disabled List
Jun. 1, 2018
San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Mark Melancon (forearm) has been activated from the disabled list prior to Friday's game. Melancon has missed the entire year with inflammation in his right flexor tendon. Melancon is expected to be eased back into high leverage situations and can safely be on the waiver wire as long as Hunter Strickland continues to pitch well as the club's closer.

Mark Melancon Could Return Friday
May. 30, 2018
San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Mark Melancon (forearm) could be activated from the disabled list Friday. Melancon has thrown 3 2/3 innings of scoreless ball during his rehab assignment. Manager Bruce Bochy had mentioned a few weeks ago that Hunter Strickland would remain the club's closer and Melancon would be eased into high-leverage situations. Strickland has a firm grip on the closer gig as of now, making Melancon a better option on waiver wires than fantasy teams. However, Melancon might be worth scooping up in deeper leagues if you're desperate for saves or if you own Strickland.

Mark Melancon Will Begin Rehab On Monday
May. 19, 2018
San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Mark Melancon will begin his rehab Monday in Triple-A Sacramento. He has been out all season with a right elbow flexor strain, which bothered him all of last season last well. Once he returns, Melancon will be worth a shot in most deeper leagues due to his previous success with the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Washington Nationals, but with Hunter Strickland playing very well as the closer in San Francisco, it may be a while before Melancon regains his closer role.
Mark Melancon Won’t Return As Closer
May. 19, 2018
San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy said on Saturday that relief pitcher Mark Melancon (forearm) won't return as the team's closer when he returns to the major league roster. Melancon is due back in a couple weeks and Bochy wants to ease him back into action with low leverage work. Melancon begins his rehab assignment Monday.

Mark Melancon Throws Batting Practice On Thursday
May. 17, 2018
San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Mark Melancon (forearm) threw 20 pitches of batting practice on Thursday. Melancon hit outfielder Mac Williamson (concussion) who is recovering a concussion on the wrist. Williamson appeared to be ok. Manager Bruce Bochy said that Melancon will begin a two-week in the minors on Sunday or Monday. With Hunter Strickland holding his own as the club's closer, it may be awhile before Melancon is ready to help fantasy owners.
Mark Melancon Will Throw To Hitters On Thursday

San Francisco Giants closer Mark Melancon (forearm) will face hitters on Thursday for the first time since being placed on the disabled list prior to Opening Day. If everything goes well, Melancon will begin his rehab assignment on Sunday or Monday. Hunter Strickland has done a good job filling in as the team's closer and should be expected to keep the job until Melancon can prove he is healthy and ready to return to a high-leverage role.

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Mark Melancon threw 20 pitches in his first bullpen session since landing on the DL earlier this season and says he feels "100%". He looks to be reinstated when eligible on 5/25. However, with his injury history and Hunter Strickland's great performance filling in for him, Melcanon will most likely be eased back in.

Mark Melancon To Begin Playing Catch
Apr. 23, 2018
San Francisco Giants closer Mark Melancon (forearm) will begin playing catch on Thursday. Melancon has been sidelined all season and been a colossal bust since signing a four-year deal with the Giants prior to last season. There is currently no timetable for Melancon's return and with Hunter Strickland holding down the fort in the ninth inning, Melancon can be avoided.
Mark Melancon Expected To Play Catch In A Week
Apr. 19, 2018
San Francisco Giants closer Mark Melancon (forearm) is expected to play catch in about a week. Melancon has yet to pitch this year and said in the spring that he did not feel 100 percent. With Hunter Strickland holding down the fort in the ninth inning and Melancon overcoming multiple injuries in his time with the Giants, the best-case scenario may be to bring him along slowly. Strickland will continue to have fantasy relevance until Melancon is back with the Giants.
Mark Melancon Has Stem Cell Injection
Apr. 13, 2018
San Francisco Giants closer Mark Melancon (forearm) had a stem cell injection in his right pronator on Thursday. Melancon will now wait two weeks before starting a throwing program. He also visited with Dr. James Andrews who said Melancon's ligament was fine. Hunter Strickland is doing a good job as the Giants closer and with Melancon with no clear timeline, it may be time to cut bait with the former top closer.

Mark Melancon Not Making Any Progress
Apr. 11, 2018
San Francisco Giants closer Mark Melancon (forearm) hasn't made any progress since starting the season on the disabled list. Melancon has yet to even throw a ball and there is no timetable for his return. Melancon had pronator muscle surgery towards the end of last year and has not fully recovered. He also is dealing with inflammation in his right flexor tendon. Melancon spoke this spring about not feeling 100 percent healthy and it sounds like he won't be returning in the near future. Hunter Strickland will continue to serve as the Giants closer.

San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy said on Thursday that he is hoping that closer Mark Melancon (elbow) will be able to return in a couple of weeks. Bochy also noted that until Melancon starts throwing, it will be hard to have a firm timeline. Hunter Strickland was announced as the Giants closer and picked up his first save on Thursday versus the Dodgers. Strickland needs to be owned in all leagues.

San Francisco Giants closer Mark Melancon (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with a flexor strain in his right elbow. Melancon said earlier this spring he is not 100 percent. The closer has been a bust thus far for the Giants with both on-the-field struggles and injuries. Relievers Tony Watson and Sam Dyson are expected to get the bulk of save opportunities, but Hunter Strickland could also enter the mix. Dyson is probably your best speculative add, but the leash will be short, and manager Bruce Bochy could mix and match. It's a situation to avoid if you can help it.

Mark Melancon Hopes To Put 2017 Behind Him
Mar. 2, 2018
San Francisco Giants closer Mark Melancon is looking to move on from an unforgettable 2017 campaign. Melancon spoke about his focus for 2018 and how he won't forget about 2017, but will learn from it and make sure it doesn't happen again. He is also focused on being productive and healthy. Melancon dealt with injuries throughout the year and blew five saves in 16 tries to go along with a 4.50 ERA. The closer underwent surgery on his pronator muscle and said his doctors discovered that there was a lack of blood flow and oxygen getting to the muscle and in turn, it was dying. The hope is that it returns to full strength over time. Melancon is scheduled to be ready for Opening Day and continues to work on building his strength back up. Melancon could enter the year as a sleeper at the closer position due to last years failure, but was one of the better closers for a half a decade prior to that. Owners who draft Melancon would be wise to keep an eye on relief pitchers Sam Dyson and Tony Watson who would like share the ninth inning if anything happens to Melancon.

Feb. 21, 2018

Pavlovic also reports that along with Melancon, veterans such as catcher/first baseman Buster Posey and third baseman Evan Longoria are not expected to play this weekend.
