7 months agoNew York Mets pitcher Tylor Megill turned in a solid outing in Monday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays. Megill, who got the nod after Paul Blackburn (hand, back) faced a delay in his return from the injured list due to a lower back issue, pitched six scoreless innings. The 29-year-old allowed just one hit and two walks with nine strikeouts. Megill was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse at the end of August and has compiled a stellar 2.34 ERA in three starts. However, the Mets have stated that they are giving Blackburn a 48-hour window to assess his response to back treatment and that he will slot back into the starting rotation if able, with Megill moving to the bullpen. Even if Blackburn is unable to return, the next time around the rotation would be a tough matchup at the Phillies, so fantasy managers may want to avoid whoever makes the start.--Connelly Doan - RotoBaller

1 month agoNew York Mets right-hander Tylor Megill added a two-seam sinker last year to keep hitters from consistently looking away for his four-seam fastball and slider. It was a big reason why he was nails down the stretch last year for the Mets, when he posted a 2.32 ERA in six late-season starts (all wins). This offseason, Megill worked to improve his curveball to make it tighter and more of a weapon in two-strike counts. Eventually, it could replace his sweeper, according to The Athletic's Will Sammon and Tim Britton. The 29-year-old used his cutter 14.3% of the time last year, but he doesn't plan to throw it as much in 2025. "Use my strengths. My fastball is my strength," Megill said. "The fastball statistically, I should have used it a lot more." Because he has minor-league options left, Megill might be fighting an uphill battle for a rotation spot out of spring training.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

2 months agoNew York Mets right-hander Jose Butto will be a reliever this year, according to manager Carlos Mendoza. Meanwhile, Mendoza said that right-hander Tylor Megill will be stretched out as a starter during spring training. Butto went 7-3 with a nice .255 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, his first three career saves and a 79:38 K:BB in 74 innings over 30 appearances (seven starts) for the Mets in 2024. The 26-year-old was primarily a starter in the minors, but he had a 2.00 ERA down the stretch as a reliever last year and will stick in a late-inning setup role for the Mets. A high walk rate will make it hard for Butto to improve on his numbers last year. Megill, 29, will be in the mix for a rotation spot early in 2025 with the Mets planning to use a six-man rotation. He'll be competing with the likes of David Peterson, Griffin Canning and Paul Blackburn.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

6 months agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Tylor Megill appears to be the leading candidate to start Game 1 of the ALDS against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. Nothing has been set in stone, but Luis Severino, Sean Manaea, David Peterson, and Jose Quintana all pitching in the Wild Card round, Megill is the only Met on the active roster that will be fully rested. Kodai Senga could technically return as well, but he would likely pitch out of the bullpen. Megill would have a tough matchup against Zack Wheeler if he does get the nod, but he pitched well against the Phillies in a September start and has the stuff to do it again.--Matt Garon - RotoBaller

6 months agoNew York Mets right-hander Tylor Megill was excluded from the roster for the wild-card series this week against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field. The Mets added right-hander Max Kranick instead. Megill tossed 100 pitches over his 5 2/3 innings during Game 1 of the doubleheader against the division-rival Atlanta Braves on Monday in which the Mets punched their ticket to the 2024 postseason, so he was not going to be available to pitch in the three-game wild-card series this week anyway. However, if the Mets upset the Brew Crew and advance to the NLDS to face the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies, the 29-year-old Megill will most likely be added to the roster as a starter. In his 16 outings (15 starts) in his fourth year in New York, Megill went 4-5 with a career-best 4.04 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 91:32 K:BB in 78 innings. Kranick will serve in a long-relief role.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
