Tylor Megill - Aiming for brief shutdownMegill (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.co...ImpactThough 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. In the meantime, the Mets are likely to summon Joey Lucchesi or Jose Butto from Triple-A Syracuse to step in as the fifth member of the rotation.
