MLB.com's Adam McCalvy reports that Milwaukee Brewers right-handed reliever Trevor Megill (knee) was available to pitch in Sunday's series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks and in Monday's series opener against the Detroit Tigers. Megill blew the save and took the loss against Arizona on Saturday by allowing three earned runs on two hits while walking three, and then he revealed that he recently underwent an MRI exam on his knee. After seeking a second opinion, the 31-year-old veteran is apparently alright to continue pitching, but he has not appeared since his blowup outings on Saturday. Megill's performance is worth keeping a close eye on after his knee injury, but as things stand now, he should still be considered the Brewers' favorite for save opportunities. However, he has only one save so far in 2025 to go with a bloated 5.79 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in 4 2/3 innings.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Trevor Megill is scheduled to pitch in Cactus League action on Monday against the Colorado Rockies for the first time since March 15, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. The Brewers haven't announced any kind of injury for Megill, though, and he has been pitching in minor-league games instead. As long as everything is good with the 31-year-old heading into Opening Day on Thursday versus the New York Yankees, Megill is expected to open the year as the Brewers' primary closing option now that Devin Williams is in the Bronx. In 46 1/3 innings in a high-leverage role for the Brew Crew last year, Megill was solid with a 2.72 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, 50 strikeouts and 14 walks while also picking up the first 21 saves of his career. Durability as the No. 1 closer for Milwaukee is a concern, but Megill's fastball-curve combo generates plenty of swing and miss.

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Trevor Megill (undisclosed) made his spring training debut on Friday against the San Francisco Giants. Megill logged one inning of work and allowed one earned run and one hit. He tallied one punchout and did serve up a free pass. The 31-year-old has been limited in camp due to an undisclosed injury. However, seeing him return to game action early in camp suggests the injury is not serious and will not put him in danger of missing Opening Day. Earlier in the offseason, the Brewers shipped their closer, Devin Williams, to the Yankees, which should open the door for Megill to see the vast majority of save opportunities. When Williams missed time last season, Megill operated as the top closer. Across 46 1/3 innings of work, Megill held a 2.72 ERA with a 1.01 WHIP. He tallied 21 saves with 50 strikeouts. He generated a strong .209 xBA and a 2.83 xERA. Fantasy managers should view him as a solid relief pitcher in all formats as he should carry 20+ save upside pitching for the Brewers.

According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Trevor Megill (undisclosed) has been "pushed back" by a minor health issue in a recent throwing session. However, manager Pat Murphy said Megill is "fine." Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Megill's status during spring training in case he continues to face delays in his progression schedule. With Devin Williams now in the Bronx, Megill is slated to be the team's top closer. However, given this potential injury, he may carry some risk, especially if he continues to be limited during the spring. If Megill were to miss time, Abner Uribe and Joel Payamps would compete for the save opportunities. Last season, Megill tallied 21 saves across 46 1/3 innings. He posted a 2.72 ERA with a 1.01 WHIP. If Megill is healthy heading into Opening Day, he should provide a high floor for save totals during the 2025 season.

According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, both Trevor Megill and Abner Uribe have a viable path to operate as the closer during the 2025 season. With Devin Williams being traded to the New York Yankees, the ninth-inning role in Milwaukee is currently vacated. When Williams missed time during the first half of last summer with a back injury, Megill and Uribe both saw ample opportunities. Megill converted 20 saves, while Uribe only tallied three. However, Uribe was given the first save opportunity of the season but struggled to hold the job. Megill generated a solid 2.83 xERA, while Uribe posted a high 4.78 xERA. In addition, southpaw Aaron Ashby could also be a sleeper candidate for the role as he posted a stellar 1.37 ERA and 0.76 WHIP across his final 19 2/3 innings of relief last summer. For now, Megill should be viewed as the frontrunner and the name to target in early drafts.

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed reliever Trevor Megill (back) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with High-A Wisconsin on Thursday. Megill lost most of his fantasy appeal when regular closer Devin Williams returned from a lengthy injured-list stint, but Megill should return to a high-leverage bullpen role once he's activated from the 15-day injured list. The 30-year-old has been on the shelf with a lower-back injury since late July but is nearing a return to the big-league bullpen. The former seventh-round pick by the San Diego Padres in 2015 out of Loyola Marymount University currently leads the Brewers relief corps with the first 20 saves of his career, and he's also posted a career-best 2.41 ERA, a 1.04 WHIP and a strong 40:8 K:BB in 33 2/3 innings out of the bullpen. Megill will continue to be valuable in holds leagues when he's back in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Trevor Megill (back) said on Wednesday that he expects to be pitching in a game somewhere next week. He played catch on Saturday, and depending on whether or not he'll need an abbreviated minor-league rehab assignment, it sounds like he'll have a chance at rejoining Milwaukee's bullpen sometime in mid-August. Megill collected 20 saves with an excellent 2.41 ERA while holding down the ninth-inning fort for injured closer Devin Williams during the first half of the season, but he landed on the injured list on July 29 with a lower-back injury right after Williams returned. Although Megill already surrendered a huge chunk of fantasy appeal when Williams was reinstated from the IL, the hard-throwing 30-year-old right-hander should return to a high-leverage role out of the Brewers' bullpen, and he could handle the occasional save chance when the closer is unavailable.

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Trevor Megill (back) tested his back for the first time prior to Saturday's game against the hosting Washington Nationals by playing catch, and he was scheduled to be re-evaluated in the subsequent days. Megill logged 20 saves with a 2.41 ERA while filling in for injured closer Devin Williams during the first half of the year, but he ended up landing on the injured list a day after Williams rejoined Milwaukee's bullpen. Megill had been dealing with back discomfort for about five days before the club placed him on the IL, but an MRI scan returned "favorable" results, manager Pat Murphy has previously said. The hard-throwing 30-year-old right-hander remains without a clear timetable for a return to the Brewers, however, and he already lost most of his fantasy appeal upon Williams' return.

The Milwaukee Brewers placed right-handed reliever Trevor Megill (back) on the 15-day injured list on Monday with a lower-back injury, according to manager Pat Murphy. Megill will undergo an MRI exam. Megill will miss at least the next two weeks and possibly longer, depending on the results of his tests. The 30-year-old veteran reliever served as Milwaukee's closer during the first half of the 2024 season with Devin Williams on the injured list, posting a career-best 2.41 ERA (2.73 FIP), a 1.04 WHIP, the first 20 saves of his career and a great 40:8 K:BB in 33 2/3 innings pitched. He was headed for a big drop in fantasy value with Williams returning to the fold after the All-Star break, and now his value has hit a new low in 2024 with his placement on the IL. With Megill out, Milwaukee will lean more on Jared Koenig and Nick Mears as late-inning setup men in front of Williams.

Milwaukee Brewers closer Trevor Megill picked up his 16th save of the season in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rangers. Megill came in to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by three. He got the first two outs on a fly-out and a strikeout, hit a batter, and ended the game by striking out Adolis Garcia. The 30-year-old has emerged as the team's closer and a viable fantasy option, converting all but one save opportunity with a 1.85 ERA, a 1.03 WHIP, and a 30.6% strikeout rate in 24 1/3 innings of work. The Brewers are playing solid baseball, making Megill a mid-to-high-tier fantasy option in all leagues at this time.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Trevor Megill threw a scoreless ninth inning to save a 2-0 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday. Megill did not allow a baserunner while striking out one to earn his 15th save of the season. The 30-year-old has been a reliable closer for the Brewers this season, posting a 0-1 record, 2.01 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and 27 strikeouts over 22 1/3 innings with just one blown save. Megill should continue to be an excellent source for saves and strikeouts in all fantasy formats moving forward.

Milwaukee Brewers closer Trevor Megill picked up his 12th save of the season in Saturday's 3-1 victory over the Reds. Megill walked Elly De La Cruz to start the ninth inning, who promptly stole second and then scored on Jeimer Candelario's double. That was the extent of the damage, however, as the 30-year-old was able to record three consecutive outs after that. Megill has been solid for the Brewers this season, posting a 2.25 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, a 23.2% K-BB%, 12 saves, three holds, and just one blown save. He only needs to hold down the role for about another month as Devin Williams is expected back sometime after the All-Star break.

Milwaukee Brewers closer Trevor Megill recorded his 10th save in Monday's 3-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Megill needed just 11 pitches (eight for strikes) while allowing a hit over one inning and hasn't allowed an earned run in six of his last eight outings while lowering his ERA to 2.00. Megill has struck out 24 batters and walked four while allowing just one home run over 18 innings. Fantasy managers have complete confidence Megill will continue to deliver quality numbers each time the Brewers call on him to close out games, although he'll eventually return to a setup role whenever Devin Williams (back) can make his season debut.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Trevor Megill threw a scoreless ninth inning to preserve a 5-4 win over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. Megill did not allow a baserunner and needed just 12 pitches to send the Tigers down in order on the way to earning his ninth save of the season. The 30-year-old has done an admirable job filling in as closer for the injured Devin Williams (back), who is on the 60-day injured list and hasn't pitched in 2024. Megill now has a 0-1 record, 2.12 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 24 strikeouts over 17 innings of work. Megill should be in fantasy lineups as a solid source of strikeouts and saves moving forward.

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed reliever Trevor Megill (elbow) might need a few days to let his right elbow calm down after he took a comebacker off of it in his appearance on Tuesday night in the loss to the division-rival Chicago Cubs, but the good news is that he has avoided being placed on the injured list for now. X-rays on the 30-year-old's elbow came back negative for any breaks, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be available for any save chances for at least a few days. In the meantime, Elvis Peguero, Joel Payamps and Bryan Hudson could all be in the mix to be used if a save situation arises in the next couple of days. With Devin Williams (back) still on the injured list, Megill has emerged as Milwaukee's preferred closing choice and has pitched to a 2.57 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with his first eight saves in 2024.

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Trevor Megill (arm) was forced to leave Tuesday's game in the 10th inning against the visiting division-rival Chicago Cubs after he was hit in the right arm by a line drive off the bat of outfielder Mike Tauchman. Megill was hit with the loss, his first of the year, after allowing two runs (one earned) on just one hit to raise his season ERA to 2.57. We should have a better idea of how serious the 30-year-old reliever's injury is later on Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning after he likely undergoes some tests. Megill has emerged as Milwaukee's go-to arm for save situations with Devin Williams (back) on the shelf all year. Coming into Tuesday's game, Megill had a sharp 1.93 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with his first eight career saves. If Megill is forced to miss extended time with his arm injury, Elvis Peguero and Bryan Hudson could be options for save opportunities.UPDATE: Megill did not suffer a fracture, per manager Pat Murphy.

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Trevor Megill recorded a one-out save in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Boston Red Sox. He allowed one hit and struck out one over a 1/3 of an inning to secure the save. With two outs and the tying run at the plate, Megill was called on to protect the lead. He allowed an RBI single to the first batter he faced but quickly rebounded by striking out Red Sox infielder David Hamilton to end the game. The 30-year-old has converted 8-of-9 saves while owning a 1.93 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 18 strikeouts over 14 innings in 2024. Megill is Milwaukee's primary closer, while Devin Williams (back) is sidelined, and fantasy managers should continue to roll with him in all league formats.

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Trevor Megill picked up his fifth save of the season in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Pirates. Megill entered to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by two. He got the first two outs on a pop-out and a strikeout, allowed a solo home run, and ended the game with another strikeout. The 30-year-old has served as the team's primary closer over the past few weeks and has now converted all of his save opportunities with a 1.69 ERA, an 8.44 K/9 rate, and a 2.53 BB/9 rate in 10 2/3 innings pitched. He has emerged as the fantasy arm to roster from the Brewers.

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Trevor Megill tossed a scoreless ninth inning to notch the first save of his career during Thursday's 7-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 30-year-old has been a pleasant surprise out of the bullpen for the Brewers and has been trusted to face the heart of the opponent's order multiple times this season. He has only given up one run in five appearances thus far and has picked up three holds. The Brewers ninth-inning situation has been a bit sporadic with Devin Williams (back) still recovering from injury, but Megill is now in the mix for saves alongside Joel Payamps. Both players deserve to be rostered in deeper leagues, while Megill holds even more value in formats that count holds as a scoring category.
