The first tangible sign of a mending Mets rotation will be Tylor Megill’s appearance Sunday in a rehab start for Double-A Binghamton.
If Megill survives his scheduled four-inning appearance without complication, it’s possible team officials will reinsert him into the rotation as soon as next weekend in Anaheim. Otherwise, the right-hander would receive another start in the minors and then likely would rejoin the Mets on their next homestand.
Megill was the Mets’ opening day starter after Jacob deGrom was scratched from the rotation with a stress reaction in his right scapula. DeGrom threw a 19-pitch bullpen session in New York on Saturday, in his first mound action since spring training. Another key starter, Max Scherzer, has been on the injured list with an oblique strain that could keep him sidelined through the All-Star break.
Williams will be the scheduled starter Sunday at Dodger Stadium. Over his last two starts he has combined to pitch 8 ²/₃ shutout innings, against the Giants and Nationals, helping ease concerns about that rotation spot. Overall, the right-hander has pitched to a 3.58 ERA in nine appearances for the Mets this season, four of them as a starter.
