Ahead of the first game of their series with the Tigers, the Mets announced that they have placed starter Tylor Megill on the 15-day IL with a right shoulder strain. To take his place on the roster, the club has called up right-handed reliever Reed Garrett.
Megill took the loss in yesterday’s game against the Brewers after surrendering two runs (one earned) in four innings. He walked three and struck out four while allowing three hits in the outing. He managed 78 pitches before alerting the medical staff that his shoulder felt ‘tender’, and he was sent for an MRI after the game.
