He already threw two innings in a live batting practice session and is ahead of Paul Blackburn (back) and Griffin Canning, the two other starters Megill is competing with for the final two spots in the Mets' six-man rotation. Once the trio starts pitching in games this spring, their performance will take precedence over who got built up quickest in camp, but it's at least good to know Megill is healthy and throwing. His goal this season is to trust his stuff and attack hitters in the zone more in order to keep his pitch count low after going six-plus innings in just four of his 15 starts in 2024.</p> </article> <article id="team-news-5278343" class="c-alert"> <header class="c-alert__header"> <div class="c-alert__meta"> <time class="c-alert__date" datetime="2025-02-20T13:10:40-05:00"> February 20, 2025 </time> <h3 class="c-alert__title"> <span class="c-alert__player__nolink"> Paul Blackburn </span> : Throwing to hitters </h3> </div> <div class="c-alert__image c-alert__image--rounded"> <img src="https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/940x940-crop_e3a2a1.png?w=100" alt="Throwing to hitters" width="50" height="50" loading="lazy" /> </div> </header> <p class="c-alert__excerpt">Blackburn (back) threw one inning of live batting practice Tuesday, Andrew Tredinnick of NorthJersey.com reports. Blackburn worked with the Mets this offseason to refine his sinker and sweeper with the goal of adding more run to his sinker and more horizontal movement to his sweeper to make it less of a slurve. He got off to a rough start with the Mets after getting traded from the A's last season, including a hand contusion and a spinal fluid leak in mid-September that ended his season. He had surgery Oct. 11 that came with a three-to-five month estimated recovery, and we'll be at five months in mid-March.

The 89th overall pick of the 2019 First-Year Player Draft, Allan's career has been sidetracked by a series of long-term injuries. After the COVID-19 pandemic kept him from pitching in 2020, Allan remained out for each of the ensuing four seasons while recovering from Tommy John surgery, a second operation to transpose a nerve in his right arm, and most recently, a UCL revision surgery, which he underwent in February 2023. The 23-year-old is finally healthy again and isn't facing any restrictions this spring, leaving him confident that he'll be ready to join an affiliate to begin the 2025 season for what will be his first game action since 2019.</p> </article> <article id="team-news-5277804" class="c-alert"> <header class="c-alert__header"> <div class="c-alert__meta"> <time class="c-alert__date" datetime="2025-02-19T12:02:23-05:00"> February 19, 2025 </time> <h3 class="c-alert__title"> <span class="c-alert__player__nolink"> Tyrone Taylor </span> : Looks healthy for camp </h3> </div> <div class="c-alert__image c-alert__image--rounded"> <img src="https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/940x940-crop_e4bbc2.png?w=100" alt="Looks healthy for camp" width="50" height="50" loading="lazy" /> </div> </header> <p class="c-alert__excerpt">Taylor (elbow/hernia) took part in Wednesday's full-squad workout, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Taylor appears to be back to full health for spring training after he underwent an umbilical hernia repair Oct. 30 as well as surgery to remove a loose body from his right elbow Nov. 7. Both procedures carried recovery timelines of roughly two months, so Taylor was presumably able to resume working out without restrictions in January before he reported to camp. Taylor is a candidate to open the season as the Mets' starting center fielder, though Jose Siri and Starling Marte will likely push him for playing time in what could end up being a timeshare at the position.</p> </article> <article id="team-news-5277730" class="c-alert"> <header class="c-alert__header"> <div class="c-alert__meta"> <time class="c-alert__date" datetime="2025-02-19T09:14:23-05:00"> February 19, 2025 </time> <h3 class="c-alert__title"> <span class="c-alert__player__nolink"> Francelis Montas </span> : Hopes to throw in 4-to-6 weeks </h3> </div> <div class="c-alert__image c-alert__image--rounded"> <img src="https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/940x940-crop_558fd5.png?w=100" alt="Hopes to throw in 4-to-6 weeks" width="50" height="50" loading="lazy" /> </div> </header> <p class="c-alert__excerpt">Montas (lat) said Wednesday that he's already feeling better following a PRP injection and plans to begin playing catch in 4-to-6 weeks, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

While the pitcher is painting a more optimistic picture, it's not clear whether the team is on board with it.

Montas, who signed a two-year, $34 million deal with the Mets over the winter, will leave camp and head to New York to receive a platelet-rich plasma injection to treat the injury. For now, he appears set to avoid surgery, but since he's not projected to resume throwing until early April at the soonest and will need to complete his own version of spring training before being activated from the injured list, Montas looks poised to miss at least the first month of the season. With Montas sidelined, the Mets could have starting spots available for two of Griffin Canning, Tylor Megill and Paul Blackburn (back) in their projected six-man rotation.</p> </article> </div> <div class="c-overlay-infinite-scroll" data-post-type="rwnews" data-per-page="8" data-page="1" data-category="416076916" data-placement="team-news" > <span>Loading more stories</span> </div> </div> </div> </template> <div class="c-subscribe-form" id="subscribe-form" style=""> <div class="c-subscribe-form__overlay"></div> <div class="c-subscribe-form__container"> <button class="l-drawer__close js-overlay__close" aria-label="Close overlay"></button> <div class="c-subscribe-form__header"> <h3 class="c-subscribe-form__title c-headline"> Unlock the latest New York Mets news — direct to your inbox. </h3> </div> <form id="fp-modal-newsletter-subscribe" data-form-type="login" class="visible-anonymous fp-login-social"> <a data-provider="google" data-intent="subscribe" type="button" class="fp-login-social__btn fp-login-social__btn--custom fp-btn-auth-google"> <svg width="25" height="25" class="icon-google"><use xlink:href="#icon-google"></use></svg> Subscribe with Google </a> <a data-provider="Facebook" data-intent="subscribe" type="button" class="fp-login-social__btn fp-login-social__btn--custom fp-btn-auth-facebook"> <svg width="25" height="25" class="icon-facebook"><use xlink:href="#icon-facebook"></use></svg> Subscribe with Facebook </a> <div class="c-subscribe-form__separator"> <span class="c-subscribe-form__separator-text">Or enter your name and email</span> </div> </form> <form class="c-subscribe-form__form" name="cm-subscribe-form"> <div class="c-subscribe-form__field"> <span class="c-subscribe-form__field-icon"> <svg class="icon icon-user"><use xlink:href="#icon-user"></use></svg> </span> <label class="c-subscribe-form__label screen-reader-text" for="name">Name</label> <input class="c-subscribe-form__input" id="name" autocomplete="given-name" name="name" type="text" placeholder="Your name"> </div> <div class="c-subscribe-form__field"> <span class="c-subscribe-form__field-icon"> <svg class="icon icon-mail"><use xlink:href="#icon-mail"></use></svg> </span> <label class="c-subscribe-form__label screen-reader-text" for="email">Email *</label> <input class="c-subscribe-form__input" id="email" name="email" type="email" placeholder="Your email" autocomplete="email" required> </div> <div class="c-subscribe-form__optin"> <label class="c-subscribe-form__label"> <input type="hidden" name="list-alert-api-id" value="9dd9bdab8ec46e7e2fca9e7062b97306"> <input class="c-subscribe-form__input" id="subscribe-optin" name="list-alerts" type="checkbox" checked> Subscribe to Mets alerts </label> <label class="c-subscribe-form__label"> <input type="hidden" name="list-api-id" value="b6923ff70e33587fc15a26b67a2cc848"> <input class="c-subscribe-form__input" id="subscribe-optin" name="list-news" type="checkbox" checked> Subscribe to the newsletter </label> </div> <button type="submit" class="c-subscribe-form__submit"> <span class="c-subscribe-form__submit-text"> Get Mets News </span> <svg width="36" height="36" class="icon icon-spinner"><use xlink:href="#icon-spinner"></use></svg> </button> <div class="c-subscribe-form__message"></div> </form> </div> </div> <div class="c-overlay__background"></div> <div class="c-overlay"></div> <div class="l-page-header__wrap"> <div class="l-page-header__call-out"> <div class="c-call-out" style="background:#002d72;color:#ff5910;"> <h2 class="c-headline c-headline--label"> More From Heavy on Mets </h2> </div> </div> </div> <div class="l-stream"> <div class="l-stream__wrap"> <ul class="l-stream__list"> <li class="l-stream__item l-stream__item--large"> <article id="post-5277413" class="c-article c-article--large"> <script type="application/ld+json">{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","description":"Bleacher Report's Zachary D.
