Trevor Megill DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

MLB.com's Adam McCalvy reports that Milwaukee Brewers right-handed reliever Trevor Megill (knee) was available to pitch in Sunday's series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks and in Monday's series opener against the Detroit Tigers. Megill blew the save and took the loss against Arizona on Saturday by allowing three earned runs on two hits while walking three, and then he revealed that he recently underwent an MRI exam on his knee. After seeking a second opinion, the 31-year-old veteran is apparently alright to continue pitching, but he has not appeared since his blowup outings on Saturday. Megill's performance is worth keeping a close eye on after his knee injury, but as things stand now, he should still be considered the Brewers' favorite for save opportunities. However, he has only one save so far in 2025 to go with a bloated 5.79 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in 4 2/3 innings.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Trevor Megill is scheduled to pitch in Cactus League action on Monday against the Colorado Rockies for the first time since March 15, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. The Brewers haven't announced any kind of injury for Megill, though, and he has been pitching in minor-league games instead. As long as everything is good with the 31-year-old heading into Opening Day on Thursday versus the New York Yankees, Megill is expected to open the year as the Brewers' primary closing option now that Devin Williams is in the Bronx. In 46 1/3 innings in a high-leverage role for the Brew Crew last year, Megill was solid with a 2.72 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, 50 strikeouts and 14 walks while also picking up the first 21 saves of his career. Durability as the No. 1 closer for Milwaukee is a concern, but Megill's fastball-curve combo generates plenty of swing and miss.

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Trevor Megill (undisclosed) made his spring training debut on Friday against the San Francisco Giants. Megill logged one inning of work and allowed one earned run and one hit. He tallied one punchout and did serve up a free pass. The 31-year-old has been limited in camp due to an undisclosed injury. However, seeing him return to game action early in camp suggests the injury is not serious and will not put him in danger of missing Opening Day. Earlier in the offseason, the Brewers shipped their closer, Devin Williams, to the Yankees, which should open the door for Megill to see the vast majority of save opportunities. When Williams missed time last season, Megill operated as the top closer. Across 46 1/3 innings of work, Megill held a 2.72 ERA with a 1.01 WHIP. He tallied 21 saves with 50 strikeouts. He generated a strong .209 xBA and a 2.83 xERA. Fantasy managers should view him as a solid relief pitcher in all formats as he should carry 20+ save upside pitching for the Brewers.

According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Trevor Megill (undisclosed) has been "pushed back" by a minor health issue in a recent throwing session. However, manager Pat Murphy said Megill is "fine." Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Megill's status during spring training in case he continues to face delays in his progression schedule. With Devin Williams now in the Bronx, Megill is slated to be the team's top closer. However, given this potential injury, he may carry some risk, especially if he continues to be limited during the spring. If Megill were to miss time, Abner Uribe and Joel Payamps would compete for the save opportunities. Last season, Megill tallied 21 saves across 46 1/3 innings. He posted a 2.72 ERA with a 1.01 WHIP. If Megill is healthy heading into Opening Day, he should provide a high floor for save totals during the 2025 season.

According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, both Trevor Megill and Abner Uribe have a viable path to operate as the closer during the 2025 season. With Devin Williams being traded to the New York Yankees, the ninth-inning role in Milwaukee is currently vacated. When Williams missed time during the first half of last summer with a back injury, Megill and Uribe both saw ample opportunities. Megill converted 20 saves, while Uribe only tallied three. However, Uribe was given the first save opportunity of the season but struggled to hold the job. Megill generated a solid 2.83 xERA, while Uribe posted a high 4.78 xERA. In addition, southpaw Aaron Ashby could also be a sleeper candidate for the role as he posted a stellar 1.37 ERA and 0.76 WHIP across his final 19 2/3 innings of relief last summer. For now, Megill should be viewed as the frontrunner and the name to target in early drafts.
