CHICAGO — Injured New York Mets<\/a> starter Tylor Megill<\/a> underwent Tommy John surgery, manager Carlos Mendoza announced Tuesday before the start of the Mets’ key three-game series at Wrigley Field this week.<\/p>\n

The surgery, which took place in Los Angeles on Monday, means Megill is likely to miss most, if not all, of the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

“You feel for the individual,” Mendoza said. “It’s going to be a while before he takes the mound again. Wishing him a quick recovery.”<\/p>\n

Megill, 30, hasn’t pitched for the Mets since June 14, when he gave up six runs, three earned, over 3 innings against Tampa Bay. He was placed on the 15-day IL on June 17 with an elbow sprain and moved to the 60-day IL on July 8.<\/p>\n

Megill went 5-5 with a 3.95 ERA over 14 starts for the Mets, whose rotation has struggled during the club’s second-half swoon. He was sent on a rehab assignment in August and made six appearances over two levels before being shut down due to renewed tightness in the elbow.<\/p>\n

Megill has spent his entire career in the Mets’ organization since being drafted in the eighth round in 2018. A five-year big league veteran, Megill has two more seasons of arbitration eligibility remaining on his service time clock.<\/p>\n

Megill’s loss thinned a rotation that ranked fourth in the majors with a 3.38 ERA before the All-Star break but ranks 24th with a 5.10 ERA after the break.<\/p>\n

“Obviously we’ll miss him, when you’re talking about depth,” Mendoza said. “So unfortunate but our job right now is to get him back on the field as quick as possible.”<\/p>\n

The Mets entered Tuesday’s contest against the Cubs tied with the Reds for the final wild-card slot in the National League.<\/p>\n
