Mets lose Megill until mid August

-

Mets pitcher Tylor Megill will be out until at least mid-August, with the team moving him to the 60-day injured list on Monday.

The 26-year-old right-hander was put on the 15-day IL on June 17 because of a strained right shoulder, joining aces Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer. The Mets said at the time Megill would not throw for four weeks.

Earlier in the season, Megill missed four weeks with right biceps tendinitis and returned June 10. He is 4-2 with a 5.01 ERA in nine starts this year.

The Mets made the 40-man roster move to open a spot for infielder Kramer Robertson, who was claimed off waivers from Atlanta and optioned to Triple-A Syracuse. The team also activated right-hander Colin Holderman from the injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse.

Robertson, 27, made his major-league debut with St. Louis on May 10 and was 0 for 1 in two games. He was claimed by Atlanta off waivers on June 5. He has hit .242 with six homers, 23 RBI and 16 steals this season for Triple-A Memphis and Gwinnett of the Internatio­nal League.

M’S-ANGELS SUSPENSION­S

A trio of Mariners regulars were suspended Monday for their brawl with the Angels, and another went on the injured list after he was hurt in the melee.

Mariners outfielder Jesse Winker was banned seven games, shortstop J.P. Crawford received a five-game suspension and outfielder Julio Rodríguez got a two-game punishment from Major League Baseball for their roles in Sunday’s fight. Catcher Luis Torrens went on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder injury suffered in the fracas.

Seattle manager Scott Servais was sporting bruises on his arm after he was caught at the bottom of a pile during the fracas. While Angels interim manager Phil Nevin was banned 10 games, Servais escaped punishment from MLB.

Winker, Crawford and Rodríguez are appealing their suspension­s, and they’ll remain active until they’ve had hearings.

The Angels had four players, four coaches and an interprete­r suspended. Their losses won’t be quite as painful on the player side.

Injured third baseman Anthony Rendon got five games, pitchers Andrew Wantz and Ryan Tepera got three and pitcher Raisel Iglesias got two.
