Next year, perhaps it would be safer for the Mets to just pencil in Tylor Megill to make an important start out of the gate.
A year ago, injuries to Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer caused both right-handers to miss time, and Megill was called upon to start Opening Day and pitched five shutout innings in a win at Washington., forcing him to miss not just his first scheduled start in Miami, but Friday’s home opener, as well.
“It’s gonna be exciting,’’ Megill said before leaving Milwaukee on Wednesday. “I experienced the home opener last year and it was crazy. I’m hoping it’s the same thing this year.”“I love the atmosphere,’’ Megill said of Citi Field. “It’s very vibrant. It’s a very exciting atmosphere, to say the least.”Tylor Megill will once again open things up for the Mets at Citi Field.“It’s a pitchers’ park, so you can’t complain,’’ Megill said.
The Queens faithful will have to wait at least a bit longer before they see Verlander join Scherzer atop the Mets rotation after Verlander was diagnosed with a teres major strain, near his right armpit, that sent him to the injured list.
