Tyler Jay has been recalled from Triple-A Nashville to take Megill’s place.

Megill (0-2, 2.41 ERA) has 20 saves in 22 attempts as a relief pitcher for two-time All-Star closer Devin Williams, who spent the entire season on the injured list with stress fractures in his back until returning to action last weekend.

Williams threw one scoreless inning against the Miami Marlins in his return on Sunday, allowing one hit and striking out one.

“Thinking that we had Megill and that he was going to be fine today because he’s been in labor for the last couple of days, if I had that information, I wouldn’t have put (Williams) in there,” Murphy said. “That’s the way it works. We’re not going to complain or explain.”

Megill’s injury doesn’t change how the team will use Williams in the short term, Murphy added.

“We’re going to stick to our plan,” he said. “He’s not going to throw back-to-back for a while.”

Williams is coming off a 2023 season in which he went 8-3 with a 1.53 ERA and 36 saves to earn his second NL Reliever of the Year award. His return comes as the Brewers lost Bryan Hudson and Rob Zastryzny to the injured list in recent days, with Megill now set to join them.
