Tylor Megill Nearing Rehab Assignment
Tylor Megill (elbow) came out of a live batting practice session on Thursday unscathed and could begin a rehab assignment soon, according to manager Carlos Mendoza. Megill has been down since mid-June with a sprained right elbow, which interrupted a solid first half of the season for the 30-year-old. Despite a high walk rate (4.35 per nine), Megill recorded a respectable 3.95 ERA with an eye-opening 89 strikeouts over 68 1/3 innings in his first 14 starts of the season. A return doesn't seem imminent, but if the struggling Frankie Montas doesn't turn things around, a healthy Megill could replace him in the Mets' rotation.
