Megill has not launched since August 24, and his absence left the Brewers without their star cap during the last section of the season. Before landing on the wounded list, he had been a force at the back of the lift enclosure, accumulating 30 stops with an MPM of 2.54. But his last appearances before the injury were trembling, with three stops blown out in four outings.
His progress
On Friday, Megill faced the strikers in a simulated match and left encouraged. Brewers staff now want to see him throw a live action, even if only in one or two strikers, before making final decisions for the division series.
Manager Pat Murphy said Megill was not doing need To launch Sunday to secure its place, but added that seeing it against real competition would provide precious clarity. “It will help him, and it will help us,” said Murphy.
Megill is not the only brewer in return. The left -handed veteran Jose Quintana also launched the SIM game on Friday as he recovers a veal strain and should be ready for October.
For Milwaukee, who locked the central NL, getting Megill Healthy would be a massive boost. If the right -handed right -hander 8 inch can resume its start to the season form, the Brewers enclosure instantly becomes one of the most dangerous units on the field of the playoffs.
