Good to go for NLDS
Megill (elbow) will be available for the NLDS after bouncing back from his relief outing Sunday versus the Reds with normal soreness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Megill struck out a pair in a 1-2-3 inning against the Reds in what was his first appearance since he landed on the 15-day injured list in late August with a right elbow flexor strain. The 31-year-old Megill notched 30 saves as the Brewers' primary closer this season, and he could return to the ninth-inning role now that he's deemed healthy. However, Abner Uribe also pitched well as the team's closer while Megill was injured, so manager Pat Murphy could consider either pitcher for save chances during the NLDS against the Cubs.

Pockets win in return
Megill (6-3) picked up the win in Sunday's contest against Cincinnati, pitching a clean inning with two strikeouts.
Analysis
The Milwaukee right-hander was activated from the injured list prior to this game after being out since Aug. 27 due to a right elbow issue. Megill saw action in the fourth inning, retiring all three batters he faced succinctly on 12 pitches. Abner Uribe, who filled in as closer while Megill he was out, tallied the save later in the contest, as it remains to be seen how the Brewers will leverage their stalwart relievers throughout the playoffs. Megill wraps his regular season with a 2.49 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 60:17 K:BB across 47 total frames while converting 30 of 36 save chances and appearing in his first All-Star game.

Officially activated
The Brewers reinstated Megill (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.
Analysis
As expected, Megill will join the 28-man active roster for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Reds. Megill had been sidelined since Aug. 24 due to a right flexor strain, so the Brewers are likely to have him make an appearance in Sunday's contest in order to shake off some rust before the NLDS. Before landing on the shelf, Megill had been serving as the Brewers' closer and posted a 2.54 ERA and 30 saves over 46 innings.

Likely to return Sunday
Megill (elbow) threw a simulated inning Friday and is likely to be activated from the 15-day injured list to pitch in Sunday's regular-season finale, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis
Megill threw a bullpen Tuesday and faced batters Friday, completing both sessions without a hitch. He's set up to come off the injured list to make an appearance in Sunday's contest, knocking off some rust before the NLDS, which begins Oct. 4. Megill hasn't appeared in a game since Aug. 24 due to a right flexor strain.
