SEPTEMBER 4, 2021 • Associated Press

Collects first win Megill (1-0) earned the win Friday over Pittsburgh with 1.1 perfect innings. He struck out three.

Impact The 27-year-old hasn't enjoyed many clean outings this year, but he was able to get the final out of the sixth inning in relief of Alec Mills. Megill stayed in and got through the seventh without trouble, contributing part of 3.1 perfect innings from the Cubs' bullpen. The right-hander owns a 9.60 ERA, 1.87 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 14.2 innings this year while allowing runs in seven of his 19 appearances. He'll likely continue to see mainly low-leverage spots.

Rejoins Cubs The Cubs recalled Megill from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact The righty has struggled immensely in the big leagues this season, appearing in 12 games for the Cubs and posting a 13.50 ERA in 8.2 innings. He most recently appeared in a game Tuesday, after which he was optioned to Iowa. Adbert Alzolay (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move Saturday.

Sent back to Triple-A Megill was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Megill allowed a run on a pair of hits in the Cubs' loss in the afternoon portion of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers and won't get to stick around for the nightcap. Rowan Wick (oblique) was activated off the injured list in a corresponding move.

Back in big leagues Megill was recalled by the Cubs on Thursday, Tim Stebbins of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Megill spent three days in the majors last week before heading to Triple-A on Sunday. He's back again after Dillon Maples hit the injured list with a blister. Megill has allowed six runs in 4.2 innings in his first taste of the majors this season, striking out two while walking six, but it could be easier for him to stick with the team in the second half, as the Cubs will likely move quite a few players prior to the trade deadline.

Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and David Bote homered, Trevor Williams pitched effectively into the seventh inning, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-1

JULY 25, 2021 • Associated Press

Optioned to Triple-A The Cubs are optioning Megill to Triple-A Iowa to make room on the roster for David Bote (shoulder), who is returning from the injured list Sunday.

Impact Megill has been shuttling between Triple-A and the majors recently, as he was sent to Iowa in late June, recalled Thursday and now getting sent back down a few days later. The righty has logged 4.2 innings for the Cubs this year, recording an 11.57 ERA. Megill could very well return to the big club at some point, though his fantasy value will be fairly limited in a low-leverage role.

Recalled by Cubs Megill was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Thursday, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Megill was sent to the minors in late June, and he allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out 11 in six innings during his stint with the Triple-A club. He'll provide a fresh arm out of the bullpen for the Cubs, while infielder Sergio Alcantara was sent down in a corresponding move.

JULY 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Megill was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Megill spent just a single day on the active roster, and it couldn't have gone much worse. He failed to record a single out Monday against Milwaukee while giving up six runs. Adam Morgan will take his place in the bullpen.

Brewers score 10 in 8th, beat Cubs 14-4 for 6th straight win

Willy Adames and Keston Hiura each hit a three-run homer during a 10-run outburst in the eighth inning that lifted the Milwaukee Brewers a 14-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs

JUNE 29, 2021 • Associated Press

Recalled by Cubs Megill was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Megill made three relief appearances with the Triple-A club after he was sent down in mid-June, and he allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out three in three innings. The right-hander will now rejoin the major-league bullpen as a low-leverage reliever after Tommy Nance was sent down Monday.

JUNE 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Cubs optioned Megill to Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact The move was necessary to make room on the roster for Wednesday's spot starter Robert Stock. Megill has yet to allow a run in 2021, albeit in just three innings of relief work, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him back on the big-league roster in the near future, perhaps in the coming days if Stock's start isn't spectacular.

Impact He gave up five earned runs and walked six in five innings over five appearances at Triple-A. Megill should work in low-leverage situations.

JUNE 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Reinstated, optioned Megill (forearm) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Megill completed his rehab assignment Tuesday when he tossed 1.1 scoreless innings for Triple-A Iowa. He's tossed two scoreless innings with the major-league club this season but will remain with the Triple-A club for now.
