Overview

  • The Athletic’s Tim Britton reported that doctors have recommended Tommy John surgery for both right-handers.
  • Both pitchers are out for the remainder of 2025; surgery would likely sideline Megill for 2026, while Garrett’s timetable remains uncertain.
  • Megill’s UCL issue surfaced after a Sept. 7 Triple-A setback, and he is set to meet an elbow specialist in Los Angeles as he finalizes a decision.
  • Garrett returned to the 15-day IL with a ligament strain and is evaluating options that include a planned nerve-relocation procedure and a possible PRP injection.
  • Mendoza noted the injuries strain the Mets’ pitching depth as the club shuffles roles, recalling lefty Richard Lovelady on Saturday and planning a Sean Manaea start on Sunday.
