The Brewers reinstated Megill (paternity) from the restricted list Saturday.
After moving Megill to the restricted list to give him extra time with his expanding family, the Brewers will get their flame-throwing reliever back a day later. After a rough start to the season, Megill has posted a 1.69 ERA and 1.13 WHIP over 16 innings since Aug. 16, though the Brewers' immense bullpen depth has kept Megill from seeing many high-leverage opportunities. Clayton Andrews and Caleb Boushley were optioned to rookie ball in corresponding moves.

Brewers' Trevor Megill: Moves to restricted list
Rotowire
The Brewers transferred Megill (paternity) to the restricted list Friday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
He was placed on the paternity list Tuesday, but his move to the restricted list will allow Megill to spend extra time away from the team. Manager Craig Counsell said the right-hander is expected to return to the team Saturday, so Megill's availability for the postseason seemingly won't be affected.

Brewers' Trevor Megill: Working as opener
Rotowire
Megill will serve as the Brewers' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Megill is no stranger to this role, as he opened Milwaukee's matchup Wednesday against Miami and tossed a scoreless frame. The Brewers have yet to reveal who will enter as the bulk reliever, though Adrian Houser and Colin Rea should both be available.
Megill will serve as the Brewers' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.
After giving up just one run and striking out 22 batters through 11.2 innings since Aug. 16, Megill will get an opportunity to make his first MLB start. Given that Megill hasn't thrown more than two innings in any of his appearances this season, he's unlikely to work more than once through the order before turning the game over to the bullpen. Wednesday would have been Colin Rea's turn in the rotation, so he'll presumably work as a bulk reliever behind Megill.

Brewers' Trevor Megill: Trending up in August
Rotowire
Megill threw two scoreless innings in Sunday's 10-6 victory over the Padres. He allowed three hits, struck out five batters and walked none.
Megill was tasked with getting the final six outs with the Brewers holding a four-run lead heading into the eighth inning, and he delivered despite giving up a trio of hits. He does not occupy a key role in Milwaukee's bullpen, but he has been as stingy as they come since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville in mid-August, tossing 7.1 scoreless innings while posting a 0.68 WHIP and 13:0 K:BB over six appearances.
