Overview

  • Tylor Megill will travel to Los Angeles for an in-person consultation on his injured UCL after his rehab was halted by renewed elbow tightness on September 7.
  • Carlos Mendoza described Megill as “most likely” to undergo elbow surgery and said Reed Garrett’s issue is a ligament strain with multiple options being evaluated by doctors.
  • Reports indicate Garrett has a planned procedure to relocate a nerve in his right arm and could consider a PRP injection before deciding on ligament surgery.
  • Both pitchers are out for the remainder of the 2025 season, and Tommy John procedures would likely cost them significant time in 2026.
  • The losses further tax the Mets’ rotation and bullpen depth during a tight wild-card race, prompting short-term roster adjustments and longer-term planning questions.
