TYLOR MEGILL NEWS

Stuck with tough loss Saturday Megill (8-8) took the loss Saturday as the Mets fell 3-2 to the Reds, giving up three runs (two earned) on nine hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out two.

Impact The right-hander came one out short of his fifth quality start of the season, tossing 56 of 97 pitches for strikes in a solid effort, but New York wasn't able to supply Megill with much run support. He's allowed three runs or less in six straight starts with a 3.13 ERA, but his 1.55 WHIP and 28:15 K:BB through 31.2 innings over that stretch suggest he still has some work to do to to lock down a rotation spot for 2024. Megill's next outing lines up for a road series next weekend in Philadelphia.

Tosses five scoreless frames Megill allowed two hits and four walks over five shutout innings in Sunday's win over the Twins. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Megill faced some issues with his command but was able to work around a couple of threats to turn in five clean frames. He was locked into a duel with Minnesota's Pablo Lopez and the Mets weren't able to break the scoreless tie until the ninth inning. Megill has allowed three or fewer runs in five straight outings, posting a 3.12 ERA during that span and lowering his season mark to 5.03. His next start is currently projected to be at home against the Reds.

Picks up eighth win Megill (8-7) earned the win Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Mariners. He struck out six.

Impact Though Megill managed to claim his eighth victory of the season, he fell two outs shy of a quality start and served up a pair of home runs. Megill also struggled with control, walking a pair of batters and logging a hit by pitch. Over his last four appearances (21 innings), Megill owns a 3.86 ERA to pair with a 24:9 K:BB. He's tentatively scheduled to take on the Twins for his next start.

Impressive in no-decision Megill did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over six innings against the Rangers. He struck out eight.

Impact Megill turned in quite a performance against a formidable Rangers offense, allowing just one run in the sixth inning while logging a season-high eight strikeouts. The 28-year-old right-hander had struggled to a 6.86 ERA in his prior four starts since rejoining the Mets' rotation earlier this month. Overall, Megill sports a 5.29 ERA with a 1.68 WHIP and 82:47 K:BB across 20 starts (97 innings) this season. He'll look to build on Monday's performance in his next outing, currently scheduled for this weekend against the Mariners.

Shaky in Tuesday's loss Megill (7-7) took the loss Tuesday as the Mets fell 3-2 to Atlanta, giving up three runs on eight hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out five.

Impact The right-hander limited the damage despite being in constant trouble, as Atlanta had at least one runner in scoring position in every inning Megill worked -- something exacerbated by the four wild pitches he was charged with. Since rejoining the rotation in August, he's stumbled to a 6.86 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 16:7 K:BB through 19.2 innings, but the Mets don't have many other options. His next turn comes around early next week for a home start against the Rangers.

Nabs seventh win Megill (7-6) earned the win Wednesday, allowing two runs on five hits and four walks over five innings against the Pirates. He struck out five.

Impact Megill allowed the leadoff man to reach base in each of the first three innings, with the latter coming home to score on a Bryan Reynolds home run. However, the right-hander was still able to get through five innings of work despite also matching his season high with four walks. It marked Megill's first win since June 16 against the Cardinals while he still holds a 7.20 ERA through three August starts, along with a 11:5 K:BB.

AUGUST 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Coughs up six runs Megill (6-6) yielded six runs (five earned) on nine hits and a walk over 5.1 innings Friday, striking out three and taking a loss against Atlanta.

Impact Megill looked solid through three shutout innings before Atlanta broke the scoreless tie in the fourth. He's been tagged with 22 earned runs over his last 22 frames, driving his season ERA up to 5.64. The 28-year-old has allowed at least four runs in seven of his 17 MLB appearances. Assuming he gets another turn in the rotation, Megill is lined up to face the Pirates at home next week.

Tylor Megill, Mets routed by MLB-best Braves in series-opening loss NEW YORK — Everything was going well for Tylor Megill until it wasn’t.

AUGUST 12, 2023 • SACBEE.COM

Draws another start Megill is scheduled to start Friday's game against Atlanta at Citi Field.

Impact He'll pick up a second straight turn through the New York trade following last week's trade that sent Justin Verlander to Houston. After returning from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday to make his first appearance for the Mets since June 21, Megill took a loss against the Orioles while giving up five earned runs on nine hits and zero walks over 4.2 innings. He now sits on a 5.45 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 61:39 K:BB in 76 innings over 16 starts with the Mets this season, and those poor ratios should mostly keep him off the fantasy radar outside of NL-only leagues.

AUGUST 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially recalled ahead of start The Mets recalled Megill ahead of his scheduled start Saturday against the Orioles.

Impact Megill will get another chance in the rotation after both Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander were moved at the trade deadline. His ERA and WHIP have only gotten worse with Triple-A Syracuse, though Megill took a step forward in his most recent start in the minors with six innings of two-run ball against Lehigh Valley.

AUGUST 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joining rotation Saturday Megill will be called up from Triple-A Syracuse to start Saturday in Baltimore.

Impact Megill will join David Peterson as new members of the Mets rotation after the team traded Max Scherzer to the Rangers and Justin Verlander to the Astros within the past week. Since being optioned to Syracuse on June 22, Megill hasn't done much to inspire confidence that he'll emerge as a fantasy-friendly option as he makes his way back to the Mets. Over his six starts at Triple-A, Megill has posted an 8.67 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 14:11 K:BB in 27 innings.

AUGUST 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to rejoin rotation Megill will likely be called up from Triple-A Syracuse to take Justin Verlander's spot in the Mets' rotation, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Impact David Peterson is set to take over for Max Scherzer, who was dealt to the Rangers this past Saturday, and the Mets will probably then turn to Megill as their other fill-in starter after moving Verlander to Houston on Tuesday afternoon. Megill, 28, carries an ugly 5.17 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 58:39 K:BB in 71.1 innings (15 starts) this season at the major-league level.

Mets demote starting pitcher Tylor Megill to Triple-A Syracuse

The struggling New York Mets have optioned Tylor Megill to Triple-A Syracuse, opening a spot in their underperforming rotation

JUNE 23, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Mets demote Tylor Megill to Triple-A Syracuse after latest clunker Tylor Megill’s tough year just hit another low.

JUNE 23, 2023 • NYPOST.COM

Optioned to Syracuse The Mets optioned Megill to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

Impact After surrendering five runs (four earned) on four hits and four walks over just 2.1 frames Wednesday against Houston, Megill will head to Triple-A in order to get back on track. Megill was scheduled to pitch Tuesday against the Brewers, and there's been no word yet on who will replace him in the rotation.

JUNE 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Early exit in slugfest Megill didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 10-8 loss to the Astros, coughing up five runs (four earned) on four hits and four walks over 2.1 innings. He struck out two.

Impact The right-hander found the plate with only 32 of his 63 pitches and uncorked two wild pitches, but he was far from alone in having control issues as the two pitching staffs combined for 16 walks and two hit by pitches on the afternoon. It was the fourth time in his last six starts Megill failed to work past the fourth inning, and the rough stretch has sent his ERA soaring to 5.17. He'll try to get back on track in his next outing, likely to come at home early next week against the Brewers.

JUNE 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sharp in sixth win Megill (6-4) picked up the win in Friday's 6-1 victory over the Cardinals, allowing one run on four hits over six innings. He struck out seven without walking a batter.

Impact It was arguably the best performance of the season for the right-hander, who tied his season high in Ks and didn't issue a free pass for the first time in 2023 en route to his third quality start in 14 trips to the mound. Megill's been far from consistent, and since the beginning of May he carries a 5.32 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 37:23 K:BB through 44 innings even after Friday's effort. He'll look to keep building momentum in his next outing, likely to come on the road next week in Houston.

JUNE 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Making start Friday Megill is scheduled to start Friday's game versus the Cardinals at Citi Field.

Impact Heading into the week, Megill looked to be at risk of having his turn through the rotation skipped due to team off days Monday and Thursday, but the Mets will ultimately have all five of their rotation members pick up one start apiece. Megill will thus get a chance to attempt to redeem himself after he turned in his worst start of the season in his previous outing last Friday in Pittsburgh, where he was blitzed for nine runs (seven earned) on eight hits and three walks over 3.2 innings.

JUNE 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could have next turn skipped The Mets could elect to skip Megill's next turn through the rotation with team off days on tap Monday and Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Manager Buck Showalter and pitching coach Jeremy Hefner were set to discuss the Mets' rotation plan for the upcoming week following Sunday's loss to the Pirates, but if New York decides to take advantage of the two off days and pare down to four starters, Megill would almost certainly find himself as the odd man out. Megill has fallen short of the thresholds for a quality start in all but two of his 13 outings this season and is sitting on a 5.14 ERA and 1.70 WHIP over 63 innings. Even if Megill is moved out of the rotation just for this week, he could lose his spot to Triple-A starters Joey Lucchesi or David Peterson if his struggles continue much longer.

JUNE 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hit hard in loss Megill (5-4) took the loss Friday, allowing nine runs on eight hits and three walks over 3.2 innings against Pittsburgh. He struck out one.

Impact Megill was rocked yet again, failing to make it out of the fourth inning as he was removed with 2 outs and runners on the corners. Friday's start marked the third time in his last four appearances where he allowed four or more earned runs. Over his last seven starts, the 27-year-old right hander as an ugly 6.12 ERA to go along with 20 walks in 32.1 innings. At the moment, Megill is lined up to start next week at home against the Cardinals.

JUNE 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Walks five in no-decision Megill did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and five walks over 5.1 innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out five.

Impact Megill struggled with control once again Saturday, setting a season-high with five walks while hitting the strike zone on just 58 of his 103 pitches. However, the 27-year-old managed to limit damage, letting just one runner score despite allowing five hits. Though Megill owns a 5-3 record, he has stumbled to a 4.40 ERA, 5.19 FIP and a 1.50 K/BB through 59.1 innings and is lined up to make his next start against the Pirates in Pittsburgh.
