Overview

  • Manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Megill had Tommy John surgery Monday in Los Angeles.
  • Megill has been out since a mid-June elbow sprain, moved from the 15-day to the 60-day IL, began an August rehab, then was shut down after Sept. 7 with renewed tightness.
  • The 30-year-old posted a 5-5 record and a 3.95 ERA over 14 starts this season with 89 strikeouts in 68.1 innings.
  • The loss further thins a staff that has struggled in the second half, as the Mets entered Tuesday tied with the Reds for the final NL wild-card spot.
  • Multiple Mets pitchers have sustained long-term injuries this year, including Frankie Montas, and Tommy John recovery timelines often run 12–18 months.
