Mets Place Tylor Megill On Injured List, Select Colin Holderman

By Darragh McDonald | May 15, 2022 at 12:30pm CDT

The Mets announced a series of roster moves today, with righty Tylor Megill going on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 12, due to right biceps inflammation. Fellow righty Colin Holderman has been selected to take his place on the active roster. To make room for Holderman on the 40-man roster, righty Trevor May has been transferred to the 60-day injured list.

The Mets didn’t provide a timeline for Megill’s injury but did say that he will undergo an MRI today. More details and the next steps should be forthcoming once the results are known.

Megill, 26, wasn’t originally projected to open the season in the rotation, but injuries to Jacob deGrom and Taijuan Walker created an opening for him. Initially, Megill took that opportunity and ran with it, making two scoreless starts to begin the season and putting up an ERA of 1.93 after five total outings. However, his last two outings haven’t been as smooth, with Megill allowing 11 total earned runs in those. It’s possible that this injury was taking its toll on him and affecting his performance.

The Mets will need another starter to take Megill’s spot in the rotation, as today is their sixth of 16 consecutive games. David Peterson would seem to be the most likely candidate to be called up, given that he’s already made three starts for the club earlier this year and performed well. But in the short term, he pitched in Triple-A on Friday and wouldn’t be available to pitch on normal rest until Wednesday. Megill’s was scheduled to start tomorrow’s game, meaning the Mets will have to figure out who’s taking the ball for that contest.

In the meantime, Holderman will join the staff to try to cover some innings. A ninth round draft pick from 2016, he’s done both starting and relieving in his minor league career, though he’s only been working out of the bullpen this year. In nine Triple-A games, he’s thrown 12 1/3 innings with a 2.92 ERA, 26.5% strikeout rate, 6.1% walk rate and 61.3% ground ball rate. As soon as he gets the call to enter a game, it will be his major league debut.

The transfer of May to the 60-day injured list isn’t shocking, as it was reported a couple of weeks ago that he will be out of action for 8-12 weeks due to a stress reaction in the humerus of his throwing arm.

    Seen this coming after his last outing.

    Often the case after rough starts, from the pitching community

          Thanks Manny! I sympathize with him. My biceps get inflamed constantly, even when I’m not trying to flex them. It’s quite impressive if I say so myself.

      Sure seems that way. He was having a career-year to this point too, although early yet.

        He got rocked his last start. Mets offense and pitching seems to be coming down to Earth, but the team is so well-rounded that they should be fine. We’ll see.

        Homer Bailey never led the league in homers and that makes me sad.

          He did lead the league in Baileys though.

          Wasn’t Andrew Bailey in the league with him though? A’s closer who I think won rookie of the year and also made a couple all star appearances before he quickly lost his ability.

    just a reminder to SF Giants/MLB fans: Flag all of TonyGwynnSD19’s comments! Simply muting won’t work until this guy isn’t able to post here anymore. He’s obsessive. If anyone has the time, go look up his previous comments from his previous accounts on SF Giants articles: DubsDynasty, 27RingsB*tches (which he switched the username to “2020WorldChampions”), rightyspecialist, and hard90. He won’t stop unless MLBTR actually steps in and does something about this type of “trolling”.

      So in other words you want us to pay attention to him/her, which is presumably exactly what they want…

      This is exactly what the mute button is for.

    Shouldn’t they recall Rocky Raccoon if they’re going to replace Megill?

    Luckily for the Mets, the Braves are amongst the worst teams in baseball this year. The Mets can play their entire AAA team (that is what they are anyway) and still win the division. Braves on the other hand should sit down and retool and regret letting go Freeman.

    Saw Megill pitch twice against the Nats at Nats Park. The first time, he was lights out. The second time was last week when the Nats shelled him. I wondered at the time if he was injured since he looked so much worse than the first time.

    It seemed like more of a fall off in performance than would be due to inconsistency after his strong start. I gotta think the Mets wondered the same thing.

      It’s a lot of factors. Nats got a 2nd look. Warmer weather so deadballs begin to carry. Megill was pitching out of his mind only a matter of time before he came back to Earth a bit. And finally the injury.

    If it ends up not being anything serious then it will be (sort of) a blessing, they were going to have a problem with managing Megill’s innings.

    As noted in the article though, the timing isn’t great.

      Well, isn’t Peterson also capable of starting, and also having a good year? So, in a way, they’re back to five if I’m thinking correctly. Not too much longer & DeGrom returns as well.

        DeGrom won’t be back until the second week of June at the earliest. They put him on the 60-day IL. He’s getting an MRI today to see how the healing is progressing.

    Why was the Mets game postponed today? It hasn’t rained in New York for hours and it’s sunny now. Now both teams have to play a doubleheader needlessly.
