Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday that Megill will move to the bullpen following the acquisition of right-hander Paul Blackburn on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Mendoza suggested the move to a relief role could be temporary, as the Mets want to keep Megill stretched out and may eventually send him back to Triple-A Syracuse to make regular starts. At least for the time being, however, the big right-hander will be the odd man out of the Mets' five-man rotation and will operate as a multi-inning reliever.
