Megill did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the Minor League Baseball season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[8]

On April 26, 2021, Megill was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues.[9] He made his MLB debut that day, pitching a scoreless 6th inning against the Atlanta Braves.
