Mets right-hander Tylor Megill is making progress on his return from a right elbow sprain, manager Carlos Mendoza explained before Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds.
"He's up to 120 [feet]," Mendoza said of Megill's throwing regimen. "Just continue to do the long toss and all that. So, hopefully, he starts getting on the mound here shortly."
New York transferred Megill to the 60-day injured list July 8. He originally landed on the 15-day injured list with his injury June 17 (retroactive to June 15).
Megill, 29, is 5-5 with a 3.95 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 68.1 IP over 14 games this season.
His last appearance came June 14, when he allowed six runs (three earned) on seven hits in 3.2 IP against the Tampa Bay Rays.
"I'm not going to push it just because I'm trying to rush and get back," Megill said June 17. "Obviously, I want to get back on the mound throwing. But it'd be dumb to rush it and then end up [with] something down the line actually hurting myself."
