Tylor Megill has secured a spot in the New York Mets' rotation for the upcoming season, replacing the injured Kodai Senga. The Mets have optioned Jose Butto to the minors as part of their final rotation decision. Manager Carlos Mendoza praised Megill's preparation and performance, leading to his inclusion in the rotation over Butto. Megill learned a new pitch from Senga during the offseason, further solidifying his position in the rotation. The Mets' rotation order now features Jose Quintana, Luis Severino, Megill, Sean Manaea, and Adrian Houser.

Kodai Senga, through interpreter Hiro Fujiwara, says: "I feel good. I feel ready." He expects to begin playing catch within the next week, once he passes internal testing. But Senga cannot say for sure how long his ramp-up -- a typical spring progression from here -- will take.

Significant news. I still expect the Knicks will take it slow and conservative with him, but if he’s available for playoffs that’s as @Rosenbergradio would say “maj”. https://t.co/vYQDewU5v4
