Tylor Megill threw about 20 pitches in a live batting practice session as part of his recovery from a sprained elbow. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza noted the progress and hopes Megill will pitch two innings in another session on Thursday, with a late-August return anticipated. Paul Blackburn is also nearing a return from a shoulder impingement showcased by his recent Triple-A performance. The Mets currently have a full-strength rotation, despite facing injury challenges earlier this season, which made room for Megill and Blackburn in the lineup.
