TREVOR MEGILL NEWS

Back with Twins Megill has re-signed with the Twins on a minor-league deal, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.

Impact Megill was non-tendered by the Twins on Nov. 30 after being claimed the same day. He'll now have a chance to earn a bullpen role with the club in spring training. Megill spent his 2021 campaign with the Cubs, and he posted an 8.37 ERA and 1.86 WHIP across 23.2 innings in the majors.

Non-tendered by Twins Megill was non-tendered by the Twins on Tuesday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Megill was claimed off waivers from the Cubs earlier in the day, but he didn't have a spot on the Twins' roster for long. Minnesota may have made the move in hopes of bringing him back via a minor-league deal. Megill made his big-league debut with Chicago last season and had an 8.37 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB in 23.2 innings.

Claimed by Twins Megill was claimed off waivers by the Twins on Tuesday.

Impact Megill struggled to an 8.37 ERA in 23.2 innings of relief in his first taste of MLB action last season, but his underlying numbers are considerably more encouraging. A .420 BABIP contributed a fair amount to that inflated ERA, as both his 26.1 percent strikeout rate and 7.0 percent walk rate were better than average. It's possible he winds up as a useful piece in the Twins' bullpen next season, though it would be a surprise to see him in a high-leverage role.

Collects first win Megill (1-0) earned the win Friday over Pittsburgh with 1.1 perfect innings. He struck out three.

Impact The 27-year-old hasn't enjoyed many clean outings this year, but he was able to get the final out of the sixth inning in relief of Alec Mills. Megill stayed in and got through the seventh without trouble, contributing part of 3.1 perfect innings from the Cubs' bullpen. The right-hander owns a 9.60 ERA, 1.87 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 14.2 innings this year while allowing runs in seven of his 19 appearances. He'll likely continue to see mainly low-leverage spots.

Rejoins Cubs The Cubs recalled Megill from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact The righty has struggled immensely in the big leagues this season, appearing in 12 games for the Cubs and posting a 13.50 ERA in 8.2 innings. He most recently appeared in a game Tuesday, after which he was optioned to Iowa. Adbert Alzolay (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move Saturday.

Back in big leagues Megill was recalled by the Cubs on Thursday, Tim Stebbins of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Megill spent three days in the majors last week before heading to Triple-A on Sunday. He's back again after Dillon Maples hit the injured list with a blister. Megill has allowed six runs in 4.2 innings in his first taste of the majors this season, striking out two while walking six, but it could be easier for him to stick with the team in the second half, as the Cubs will likely move quite a few players prior to the trade deadline.

Optioned to Triple-A The Cubs are optioning Megill to Triple-A Iowa to make room on the roster for David Bote (shoulder), who is returning from the injured list Sunday.

Impact Megill has been shuttling between Triple-A and the majors recently, as he was sent to Iowa in late June, recalled Thursday and now getting sent back down a few days later. The righty has logged 4.2 innings for the Cubs this year, recording an 11.57 ERA. Megill could very well return to the big club at some point, though his fantasy value will be fairly limited in a low-leverage role.

Recalled by Cubs Megill was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Thursday, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Megill was sent to the minors in late June, and he allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out 11 in six innings during his stint with the Triple-A club. He'll provide a fresh arm out of the bullpen for the Cubs, while infielder Sergio Alcantara was sent down in a corresponding move.

Optioned to Triple-A Megill was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Megill spent just a single day on the active roster, and it couldn't have gone much worse. He failed to record a single out Monday against Milwaukee while giving up six runs. Adam Morgan will take his place in the bullpen.
