Tylor Megill's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The New York Mets are calling up right-hander Tylor Megill from Triple-A Syracuse to make the start on Friday in the series opener versus the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field. Megill has the opportunity to stick around in New York's starting rotation for a couple turns with Paul Blackburn (hand) currently on the 15-day injured list. The 29-year-old Megill has an ERA over 5.00 in 10 appearances (nine starts) for the Mets this year, but he's also sporting a career-best 26.3% strikeout rate in 47 innings pitched. On the flip side, he has a walk rate over 10% and hasn't started a game in the big leagues since July 27, when he gave up four earned runs (three homers) in six innings in a loss to the Braves. However, with an excellent matchup on tap against the Pale Hose, we wouldn't blame fantasy managers in deeper leagues for taking a chance on Megill as a streaming option on Friday.

New York Mets right-hander Tylor Megill is the strong front-runner to join the team's starting rotation in Paul Blackburn's (hand, wrist) spot, according to manager Carlos Mendoza. Megill's first turn in the rotation will come on Thursday on the road against the hosting Arizona Diamondback, which won't be ideal for deep-league streaming purposes. The 29-year-old has not pitched for the Mets since July 31 and hasn't started a game since July 27 against the Atlanta Braves. Megill hasn't been very effective for the Mets in his 10 big-league appearances (nine starts) this year, going 2-5 with a 5.17 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and a 55:22 K:BB in 47 innings pitched. He has been better in his time with Triple-A Syracuse, but fantasy managers should steer clear of him as a streaming option later this week against one of the hottest teams in baseball.

The New York Mets optioned right-hander Tylor Megill and left-hander Danny Young to Triple-A Syracuse after Saturday's loss to the Houston Astros and selected the contracts of left-hander Tyler Jay and right-hander Matt Festa from Syracuse in corresponding moves. The team also transferred left-hander Brooks Raley (elbow) to the 60-day injured list and designated outfielder Duke Ellis for assignment. Megill surrendered six earned runs in 5 1/3 innings in the loss to Houston on Saturday and will now head to the minors after posting an ERA over 7.00 in five starts in June. With Megill out of the rotation, rookie left-hander Christian Scott is expected to make his return to the big leagues. Raley will miss the rest of this year and the start of 2025 after having an internal-brace procedure on his left elbow.

New York Mets starting pitcher Tylor Megill was sent down to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday. The Mets are likely going with Christian Scott or Jose Butto when Megill's next scheduled start arrives. Megill is (2-4) with a 4.85 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 33 2/3 innings with 43 strikeouts and 16. He had allowed at least three runs in three of his last four starts. The Mets have the luxury to backfill his spot with a reliever to help a thin bullpen. Fantasy managers will have to wait to see when the Mets announce whether Butto or Scott will start Tuesday against the Washington Nationals.

New York Mets starting pitcher Tylor Megill took a tough-luck no-decision in Tuesday's loss to the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers during the matinee of a twin bill, throwing seven scoreless innings on three hits and one walk with nine strikeouts. Megill impressively held down a vaunted Dodgers lineup in Game 1 on Tuesday, delivering one of the best performances of his career. The big 28-year-old right-hander has been limited to three starts for the Mets this year, but he's been very effective when healthy with a 1.69 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 20:6 K:BB over 16 innings. Sunday's series finale at home against the disappointing Arizona Diamondbacks marks Megill's next projected start, and he'll carry a decent level of streaming appeal for fantasy purposes in that one to close the week.
