Tylor Megill #38 of the New York Mets warms up before the game against the Atlanta Braves at Citi Field on June 23, 2021 in the Flushing neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City. Megill is making his Major League debut tonight.

Overview

  • Aaron Nola held New York to three hits over six scoreless innings to outduel rookie Nolan McLean, who took his first loss despite a 1.42 ERA through five career starts.
  • The defeat pushed the Mets eight games behind Philadelphia in the NL East, and their lead for the final Wild Card spot hovered around 3.5 games late Monday.
  • Tylor Megill reported elbow tightness during a Triple-A rehab start and was shut down for imaging, with the team acknowledging time is short for a 2025 return.
  • Catcher Luis Torrens was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right forearm contusion, and Hayden Senger was recalled as Francisco Alvarez continues to play through hand injuries.
  • Manager Carlos Mendoza signaled the club will keep Nolan McLean, Jonah Tong and Brandon Sproat in the rotation through September after encouraging early outings from the rookie trio.
