Trevor Megill Stats

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Trevor Megill (oblique) exited early during Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The 28-year-old bounced a warmup pitch during the seventh inning. He was immediately lifted after that for precautionary reasons due to oblique tightness. Megill has a 4.80 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 49/17 K/BB ratio across 45 innings this season. His 2022 campaign could very well be done after suffering that injury.

The Minnesota Twins have claimed right-handed pitcher Trevor Megill off waivers from the Chicago Cubs, according to a tweet from Dustin Morse, who works in the Twins' communications department. Megill made his Major League debut for the Cubs last season, throwing 23.2 innings while registering 30 strikeouts and eight walks. He pitched to an 8.37 ERA and a 5.62 FIP in those 23.2 innings and will give the Twins some extra bullpen depth heading into next season. Only nine teams had a bullpen with a higher FIP than Minnesota's group of relief pitchers last season.

The Chicago Cubs have activated infielder David Bote from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Bote has been sidelined since May 29 with a separated shoulder and will be thrown right back into the lineup versus the Arizona Diamondbacks this afternoon. Bote has played all over the diamond for the Cubs and will be at third base and batting seventh on Sunday. Bote was off to a slow start this season and is hitting .201 with five home runs and 23 RBI in 144 at-bats. Bote is unlikely to see regular at-bats, but should get a good amount of starts per week with his versatility and could also get more playing time if the Cubs deal Kris Bryant and/or Javier Baez. Even with increased playing time, Bote doesn't offer much for managers to be excited about and can remain on the waiver wire for now. To make room for Bote, the Cubs have optioned relief pitcher Trevor Megill. Megill has gone back and forth between the big leagues and Triple-A this season and has an 11.57 ERA in seven games for the Cubs this season.
