Trevor Megill Takes Loss on Monday, Closer Seat Getting Warm?
Milwaukee Brewers closer Trevor Megill allowed one run, one hit, one walk, and one strikeout over one inning of work during Monday's loss against the Tampa Bay Rays. He entered a tie game in the ninth inning and was ultimately charged with the loss after Tampa Bay took the lead and held on to win. It could be a costly outcome for the veteran righty, given that there's not much separating him from Abner Uribe in the competition for save situations. While Megill opened the season as the closer, he could be on a short leash, especially if Uribe continues to pitch well. Megill has pitched on back-to-back days, earning a save and a loss, so we expect the Brewers to use Uribe in any high-leverage situation in the later innings on Tuesday. Depending on how he pitches, he could be in the mix for save situations going forward, boosting his fantasy value and detracting from Megill's value. As it stands, Megill is the #14 reliever in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings.
