TYLOR MEGILL ON 15-DAY INJURED LIST

The New York Mets on Tuesday placed former Arizona right-hander Tylor Megill on the 15-day injured list due to a right elbow sprain. An MRI revealed no structural damage for Megill, only a significant amount of inflammation in the joint. Megill will miss four to five weeks. “Considering all things elbow related, I would say this is probably the best outcome that could happen from something like this,” Megill told reporters. Megill (5-5) held a 3.95 ERA in 14 starts, including a 1.09 mark over his first five outings and a 5.56 ERA since. He has 89 strikeouts and 33 walks in 68 1/3 innings.

REACTIONS TO GARRETT IRVIN RETIRING

Former Arizona left-hander Garrett Irvin has placed himself on the voluntary retired list, bringing his four-year professional career in the Oakland Athletics organization to a close. Irvin was in the midst of an injury rehab assignment with the Athletics’ rookie-league team in Phoenix after starting the season at Single-A+ Lansing (Mich.) when he decided to retire. In late April, he was placed on the 7-day injured list and then the development list. He was sent to the rookie-league team for a rehab assignment June 6. He pitched well in three games with the rookie-league team, allowing one earned run in three innings (3.00 ERA) with three strikeouts and a walk. In his four-year career, he pitched in every minor-league classification, including one game with Triple-A Las Vegas in 2023, working one inning of scoreless relief before he was assigned back to Single-A Stockton (Calif.). The lefty was signed by Oakland as a free agent out of Arizona in 2022. As a senior that year, he went 5-4 and led the team’s qualified pitchers with a 3.38 ERA. He earned All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention recognition. He struck out 71 batters and issued 29 walks while limiting opposing hitters to a .235 batting average. He pitched at Point Loma and Riverside CC before transferring to Arizona in 2020. He majored in Communications and English at Arizona. Want to wish Irvin, affectionately known as “Gary” by the Hi Corbett crowd during his playing career, well on his future career pursuits and congratulate him on his fine baseball career.
