2024 Fantasy Outlook
Megill technically didn't make the Mets' Opening Day roster in 2023, but he was immediately needed as an injury fill-in for Justin Verlander and wound up making 25 starts by the end of the season. The results were underwhelming, with Megill holding a 4.70 ERA and watching his strikeout rate plummet to 18.5 percent and walk rate rise to 10.2 percent. While he has above-average velocity, Megill's fastball was by far his most-used (55.7 percent) and least-effective (48.6 percent hard-hit rate, .408 xWOBA) pitch last season. There should be a little positive regression there in 2024, but Megill has yet to show the ability to be both healthy and effective over long periods of time. He'll probably have to compete in spring training for a spot in the Mets' rotation. Read Past Outlooks
Aiming for brief shutdown
Megill (shoulder), whom the Mets placed on the 15-day injured list earlier Monday, won't throw for the next five days before beginning his ramp-up process, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Though the injury that landed him on the shelf is being characterized as a right shoulder strain rather than right shoulder soreness, Megill seems optimistic that he won't miss significant time and could even be back around when he's first eligible to return in mid-April. A precise timeline for Megill's return won't come into focus until he reaches the point in his throwing program that he's facing hitters. While 40-man roster members Joey Lucchesi or Jose Butto would seem to be the most logical candidates to replace Megill in the rotation, both were optioned to Triple-A Syracuse in spring training and thus aren't eligible to be promoted until April 12 unless the Mets place a player on the IL in a corresponding move. As such, the Mets may turn to a non-roster player to make spot starts for Megill's next two turns through the rotation.

Megill likely factors into the equation as the Mets fill the rotation void created by Jose Quintana's rib injury.
ANALYSIS
Megill limped to a 5.13 ERA through 47.1 innings last season. After beginning the season as a starter, he failed to record a win after April and was shut down throughout the summer due to shoulder issues. Megill joined the bullpen upon his return, but he struggled down the stretch. Megill operated as a full-time starter in 2021, logging an expected-ERA of 3.84. Depending on how the Mets officially decide to utilize him, the 27-year-old has upside as a back-end starter.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
With Jacob deGrom shut down at the time with a shoulder injury and Max Scherzer scratched with ankle issue, Megill got the Opening Day nod for the Mets. He surprised many by pitching like a legitimate ace, going 4-1 with a 2.43 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 36:8 K:BB in six starts (33.1 innings) before biceps tendonitis put him on the shelf. The right-hander returned in June only to leave his second start back with shoulder discomfort. A four-week shutdown period ensued and Megill returned in late September as a reliever with time running out in the season. It stands to reason that the Mets will stretch him back out as a starter in spring training assuming he has a normal winter with no setbacks. The health questions leave him as something of a wild card entering 2023. If healthy, he could prove to be a quality back-end piece to a fantasy rotation.
