Pill was sent to the Dodgers for cash considerations Tuesday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
Pill reached the major leagues for the first time last season, throwing 22 innings for the Mets. He recorded a 5.32 ERA, walking 10.1 percent of batters while striking out just 16.2 percent.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Pill: Returns to action
Rotowire
Pill (elbow) recorded an out and failed to give up a run on one walk while striking out a batter Monday against the Rockies.
Pill made his first spring training appearance after undergoing elbow surgery back in August of 2017. Although he made his major-league debut last season with the Mets, he's likely a long shot to make the Opening Day roster. Pill figures to start the season somewhere in the upper minors with the hope of getting a look in Arizona when injuries create an opportunity.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Pill: Inks minors pact with Arizona
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks signed Pill (elbow) to a minor-league contract Monday.
Arizona has already assigned Pill to its Triple-A affiliate at Reno, so it doesn't sound like the 27-year-old will work out with the big club during spring training. Pill, who made seven appearances (three starts) with the Mets last season when a rash of injuries hit the team's pitching staff, finished with a 5.32 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 22 innings. He'll likely function as starting depth in the upper minors for the Diamondbacks, but his lack of a 40-man roster spot puts him low in the organizational pecking order for a potential look in the big-league rotation.

Mets' Tyler Pill: Undergoes surgery on elbow
Rotowire
Pill underwent arthroscopic elbow surgery Wednesday, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.
Pill, who was placed on the minor-league disabled list at the beginning of the month, will spend the rest of the 2017 campaign on the shelf. In seven games with the Mets this year, the right-hander compiled a 5.32 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 22 innings.

Mets' Tyler Pill: Sent down to minors
Rotowire
Pill was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.
Brandon Nimmo (chest) was activated in a corresponding move. Pill's latest stint with the big club was similar to his prior two, as he had a decent outing following by a poor one. For the season, the 27-year-old has a 5.32 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 22 innings with the Mets. He figures to be back eventually, but it's hard to imagine Pill being tasked with anything besides mop-up duty.

Mets' Tyler Pill: Returns to New York
Rotowire
Pill was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.
With Zack Wheeler (arm) being placed on the disabled list, the Mets needed a fresh arm to slot into the starting rotation. It's unclear whether that will be Pill, but at the very least, he'll stick around to give the Mets a long-relief option out of the bullpen. In three starts and two relief appearances in the majors this year, the 27-year-old holds a 5.00 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP.

Mets' Tyler Pill: Sent down to Triple-A
Rotowire
Pill was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.
He had been in the running to make another start with Zack Wheeler (biceps) on the shelf, but the Mets will instead turn to Rafael Montero to start in his place. Pill was roughed up for five runs over six innings in his spot start against the Dodgers on Wednesday. He'll head back to Las Vegas and could be an option to return as a spot starter should the Mets incur another injury to the rotation.

Mets' Tyler Pill: Officially recalled to start Wednesday
Rotowire
Pill was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.
As expected, Pill will be summoned from the minors to start Wednesday's game against the Dodgers. He'll face off with Dodgers left-hander Rich Hill. To make room for Pill on the active roster, Zack Wheeler (biceps) was placed on the DL and Matt Reynolds was sent back to the minors.

Mets' Tyler Pill: Option to start Wednesday
Rotowire
Pill appears to be in line to start Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Pill is expected to rejoin the big club and step in for Rafael Montero, who was originally supposed to start Wednesday's contest before being used as a long-relief option Monday night. The 27-year-old already has a pair of spot starts under his belt this season, compiling a 3.48 ERA and 8:3 K:BB over those appearances (10.1 innings).

Mets' Tyler Pill: Could earn spot start
Rotowire
Pill is an option to earn a spot start Monday against the Dodgers, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
With Matt Harvey (shoulder) expected to miss several weeks, Pill could take his next turn in the rotation before the Mets switch back to a five-man rotation. Pill made a pair of spot starts earlier in the season, allowing six runs (four earned) on 14 hits and three walks while striking out eight through 10.1 innings.

Mets' Tyler Pill: Sent down to Vegas
Rotowire
Pill was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas following Saturday's doubleheader, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
This move was made in anticipation of Seth Lugo's return from the DL on Sunday. Pill didn't exactly post stellar numbers during his time with the big-league club, but he figures to get another opportunity in long relief at some point later in the year when the bullpen is taxed.

Mets' Tyler Pill: Turns in solid spot start
Rotowire
Pill went 5.1 innings in Tuesday's spot start against Milwaukee, giving up just a single run on six hits and three walks while striking out four.
He was long gone by the time the Mets walked off in the bottom of the 12th, so Pill went unrewarded for his solid work after the bullpen blew a three-run lead for him. Pill's 1.96 ERA and 1.17 WHIP at Triple-A Las Vegas earned him this opportunity in the majors, but his ugly 26:15 K:BB is indicative of a healthy dose of good luck. He'll likely be sent back down soon, although the Mets could try to use him as a reinforcement for their beleaguered bullpen.

Rotowire
The Mets announced Tuesday they reassigned pitchers Matt Bowman, Tyler Pill, Hansel Robles, Cody Satterwhite and Gabriel Ynoa.
They join outfielder Brandon Nimmo, infielder Gavin Cecchini and catcher Xorge Carrillo, who were reassigned last week.
