Mets' Tylor Megill Undergoes Tommy John Surgery, Expected to Miss Most of 2026

The procedure likely keeps the right-hander out into next season, increasing strain on a rotation already hit by injuries.

Overview

  • Manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Megill had UCL reconstruction in Los Angeles on Monday.
  • Megill has not pitched since June 14 and moved from the 15-day to the 60-day IL before a six-outing rehab was halted Sept. 7 due to renewed elbow tightness.
  • The recovery timeline remains unclear because the club has not specified whether it was a standard reconstruction or an internal-brace procedure.
  • His absence further thins a staff that ranked fourth in ERA before the break but 24th after it, and the Mets also expect to be without Frankie Montas next season.
  • New York opened its series in Chicago tied with the Reds for the final NL wild card spot, with rookies Nolan McLean and Jonah Tong taking turns in the rotation this week.
