Melville has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A Louisville.
Melville had been a back-end rotation option, but never made it past the fourth inning and surrendered 11 earned runs on 16 hits in his first nine innings of the year. He ultimately fell victim to a pitching staff shuffle in Cincinnati, and to get another shot in the big leagues, he'll have to improve his command significantly and start missing more bats.
