MIAMI — Tylor Megill has presumably thrown his final pitch as a starter this season, as a result of the Mets produce other plans for him.
Earlier than the workforce opened a three-game sequence towards the Marlins with a 6-4 win on Friday night time, supervisor Buck Showalter mentioned the right-hander will doubtless turn out to be a reliever upon coming back from the injured checklist within the coming weeks.
Megill, who's on the 60-day IL with a proper shoulder pressure and may’t return earlier than mid-August, has been taking part in catch, in response to Showalter.
Megill has pitched to a 5.01 ERA in 9 begins for the Mets this season. He has twice been on the IL.
“I don’t suppose you will note him essentially beginning once more,” Showalter mentioned. “The plan is to get him bodily prepared to begin performing some issues out of the bullpen.”
Showalter was requested if the change in job description may shorten Megill’s rehab interval.
“I believe we’ll be very cautious and guarantee that’s all the way in which behind him earlier than we go there,” Showalter mentioned.
