Overview
- Tylor Megill was moved to the 15-day injured list retroactive to Sunday with a right elbow sprain after an MRI showed inflammation but no UCL damage.
- Justin Garza was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to fill Megill’s roster spot after allowing no runs in 3 2/3 innings this season.
- Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea are nearing the end of their rehab assignments but remain unavailable for their next scheduled starts.
- Megill’s absence compounds a rotation already tested by earlier injuries to Kodai Senga, Montas and Manaea.
- The Mets must identify a spot starter for Friday’s series opener in Philadelphia as they draw deeper on minor-league depth.
