NEW YORK -- Tylor Megill is one step closer to returning to the Mets' rotation.
Megill will be starting a rehab assignment at Double-A Binghamton on Thursday night, according to Mets manager Buck Showalter.
The righty has been on the injured list since mid-June because of a right shoulder strain. While Megill began the season as a starter -- going 4-2 with a 5.02 ERA in 41u2153 innings pitched -- he will return to the Mets as a reliever when he comes off the injured list.
Showalter also revealed that infielder Luis Guillorme could begin a rehab assignment on Sunday.
