Tylor Megill

The Mets have placed Tylor Megill (shoulder) on the 15-day IL.

Fantasy Impact

Megill has officially been diagnosed with a right shoulder strain after exiting his first start of the season. The team has not provided a timeline for his return, but fantasy managers should expect that it could last longer than the minimum IL time. The Mets have recalled Reed Garrett to fill Megill’s roster spot.

Tylor Megill will undergo an MRI on his shoulder.

Megill told the Mets staff about his shoulder after the fourth inning when he was removed. The Mets should provide a further update on his status once they receive the MRI results.

Tylor Megill will enter the season as the fifth starter in the Mets' rotation.

Fantasy Impact

This is not the first time that Megill has earned a rotation spot for the Mets coming out of Spring Training. The hard-throwing righty has made 52 starts for the Mets over the last three seasons, with 25 of those coming last year. Megill has enjoyed a nice spring so far, compiling a 3.45 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and 16-to-4 K/BB ratio across 15 2/3 innings.

It is expected to be Trevor Megill, Joey Lucchesi, Max Kranick and Jose Butto competing for a spot in the Mets starting rotation with Kodai Senga (shoulder) opening the season on the injured list.

Fantasy Impact

Megill, who made 25 starts last season, appears to have the edge as of now in camp to replace Senga in the starting rotation. It was announced that they are not expected to rush a prospect up to fill this spot.

Despite allowing 3 earned runs over 6 innings, Megill showcased his ability to miss bats with 6 strikeouts, maintaining a respectable 7.3 K/9 for the season.

Fantasy Impact

While his 4.92 ERA and 1.62 WHIP leave something to be desired, Megill's strikeout potential and ability to limit walks make him an intriguing fantasy option moving forward.
