Tylor Megill is competing for one of the final two spots in the Mets starting rotation to open the season.

With Sean Manaea and Frankie Montas expected to open the season on the injured list, Megill, Paul Blackburn and Griffin Canning are expected to compete for the final two spots in the rotation.

Tylor Megill entered camp further along than most Mets starters and was slated to throw three innings of live batting practice this week, per Andrew Tredinnick of NorthJersey.com. He has already thrown two innings in a live BP session and is currently ahead of Paul Blackburn (back) and Griffin Canning in the competition for the final two spots in the Mets’ six-man rotation.

Megill’s early ramp-up is a positive sign, but his spring game performance will ultimately determine his role. His primary focus is on attacking hitters in the zone to improve efficiency, after going six-plus innings in just four of his 15 starts last season. If he wins a rotation spot, Megill could provide late-round value in deeper fantasy leagues, though his inconsistency makes him a risky option.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Tylor Megill is stretching out to be a starter.

Megill made 15 starts out of 16 appearances last season to the tune of a 4.04 ERA. He will get another chance to earn a spot towards the end of the Mets rotation in spring training.

The Mets and Tylor Megill have agreed to a one-year deal to avoid arbitration.

Megill posted a 4.04 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP in 16 games last season. His role with the 2025 Mets is unclear right now, but he is likely to start the season in the bullpen.

Tylor Megill was nearly flawless, tossing six scoreless innings, allowing just two hits and two walks while striking out four in the Mets' 10-1 victory over the Nationals on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

This performance is a bright spot in what has been a somewhat inconsistent season for Megill, who entered the game with a 3.95 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP. His ability to suppress runs while maintaining a solid 10.1 K/9 ratio and a 3.55 FIP suggests that he has the underlying skills to be a valuable fantasy asset, especially if he can continue to limit base runners as he did in this outing. Fantasy managers should consider Megill a viable option, particularly in matchups where he can exploit weaker lineups.
