Is Trevor Megill's August Stagger Cause for Concern?

My belief remains that Megill throwing the fewest IP among top closers means it’s hard to argue he’s been overused.

Trevor is 5th on the team in games, and 6th in IP. If he’s been overused than so have Uribe, Megill, Mears, Anderson, and Ashby who all have more appearances and/or innings than Megill.

My apology then, I did not mean to do that if I misinterpreted a post.

No worries, hopefully they can win tonight by four or more runs so we can get Megill & the other leverage arms another day of rest either way.

Megill may not be being overused but he will soon surpass his MLB maximum number of innings. He never had the workload that Hader or Williams had. It is a question on how much they should look to rest him given that.

Trevor Megill flexor strain I think.
