The New York Mets placed right-hander Tylor Megill on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday because of a right elbow sprain.
The move is retroactive to Sunday. In a corresponding move, the Mets recalled right-hander Justin Garza from Triple-A Syracuse.
Megill, 29, last pitched on Saturday, allowing six runs (three earned) on seven hits and two walks with five strikeouts in 3 2/3 innings of an 8-4 loss to the visiting Tampa Bay Rays. Megill also hit two batters in his worst outing of the season.
He is 5-5 with a 3.
