Troy Melton is set to start for the Tigers in their upcoming game against the Chicago White Sox. Melton, who has shown improvement since his first major-league start, has been effective in recent appearances, allowing only one run over 12.1 innings. Despite not having started in over two weeks, Melton's recent relief performance against the Angels suggests he may not pitch a full starter's workload. His ability to qualify for a win remains uncertain as he may not reach the necessary five innings.
