Overview

  • The Athletic’s Tim Britton reported the recommendations, which were echoed by MLB Trade Rumors and other outlets.
  • Tylor Megill’s rehab was halted after renewed elbow pain during a Sept. 7 Triple-A start, and new tests revealed UCL damage.
  • Reed Garrett returned to the 15-day IL with a throwing-elbow sprain and has a planned nerve-relocation procedure with an estimated four-month recovery.
  • Garrett could pursue a PRP injection only after the nerve surgery, which complicates timing and could still lead to ligament surgery.
  • Both are out for the rest of 2025, and choosing Tommy John would likely sideline them through 2026, with the Mets still expected to tender contracts given salaries and team control.
