Mets Minors Recap: Tylor Megill Struggles In Rehab Appearance

Looking to return to the Mets, Tylor Megill struggled in his latest start for Syracuse. Out since mid-June with a right elbow sprain, the 30-year-old hasn’t found his footing since landing in Syracuse. In four games, he’s pitched 15 innings, allowed 15 hits, 11 runs, all earned, walked nine and struck out 16. Before going down with injury, Megill posted a 3.95 ERA through 14 starts but struggled with control, something that’s plagued him his entire career.

Jose Siri went 0-for-3 in his rehab start, a Syracuse loss. Nick Morabito stole his 45th base in a Binghamton loss, Yonatan Henriquez drove in three runs during a ninth-inning Cyclones rally to help lead them to victory, and St. Lucie was rained out.

• *REHAB* RHP Tylor Megill (6.60 ERA) 2 IP, 4 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 1 HR allowed (41 of 67 pitches for strikes)

With a chance to potentially fit into the Mets rotation if they were to send Clay Holmes to the bullpen, Tylor Megill struggled, only going two innings on Sunday. UDFA Colton Cosper pitched two scoreless innings.

Double-A

Binghamton Rumble Ponies (85-45) 3, Akron RubberDucks (74-57) 4

Binghamton had four hits on the day, none for extra bases. Nick Lorusso has cooled off since a scorching hot July, having not hit a home run in August or September and posting an OPS below .600 both months.

• RHP Joander Suarez (3.05 ERA) 2 1/3 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
• RHP Ryan Lambert (1.82 ERA) 1 IP, 2 K

Ryan Lambert is finishing his first professional season strong with yet another scoreless outing, striking out two in one inning without walking a hitter. Lambert has been death to right handed hitters all season, striking out 55 in 28 2/3 innings while holding them to a .134 batting average.

Yonatan Henriquz has been a revelation, as the versatile utilityman has found his groove, posting above average OPS numbers every month since June, all while playing multiple positions. Matt Rudick went 1-for-5 with three strikeouts

• RHP Jose Guevara (16.20 ERA) 1 1/3 IP, 1 H, 4 K

The Cyclones sent nine pitchers to the mound on Sunday, with only Hoss Brewer having allowed any runs. Dakota Hawkins struck out three in his inning of work on 12 pitches.
