Melancon received an invite to join Team USA in the WBC as an alternate.

EDGE Analysis

Melancon has fired five scoreless innings in early Cactus League action, so he has little to prove to his new club. Team USA would first have to elect to bring him aboard, then the Giants would have to approve the addition to the roster. Regardless of whether he joins Team USA or not, his spot as the Giants' closer is etched in stone.
