Milwaukee, August 27, 2025. – The Milwaukee Brewers announced Wednesday that their star reliever and closer, Trevor Megill, has been placed on the injured list due to a right flexor strain. The news is a significant blow to the surprising Brewers, who have had one of the best seasons in franchise history and currently hold the best record in the National League.
Megill will miss upcoming games, and while the team has depth in its bullpen, flexor strains—even low-grade ones—can take time to heal, casting doubt on his availability for the postseason.
The club confirmed the move on its official social media accounts, and it was also reported by insider Jeff Passan.

Trevor Megill Profile
Trevor Megill, born on April 16, 1998, in San Diego, California, is a right-handed pitcher who became a cornerstone of the Brewers’ bullpen after his promotion to the majors in 2023. With a fastball that exceeds 97 mph, combined with a sharp changeup and a high-rotation slider, Megill has been crucial in protecting slim leads.
In the 2025 season, Megill has appeared in 48 games, posting a 2.71 ERA, 12 wins, 11 saves, and 56 strikeouts in 54.1 innings. His consistent performance has made him one of the most reliable closers in the National League, especially in high-pressure situations.
His transition into the closer role in 2024 marked a turning point for the team, helping solidify a bullpen that has been instrumental in the Brewers’ current success.
