The Mets have lost another starting pitcher, as Tylor Megill will be shut down for four weeks with a right shoulder sprain.
The team announced the news on Thursday after Megill underwent an MRI. The righty left Thursday's start against the Brewers in the fourth inning with shoulder discomfort.
This will be the second IL stint for Megill this season, as he already was shut down with a biceps injury after a very strong start to the season in replacement of Jacob deGrom, who is likely still at least a month from returning.
The Mets hope to have Max Scherzer back in the rotation soon, as he is set to make a rehab start on Tuesday as he makes his way back from a strained oblique.
