Professional career

Los Angeles Dodgers

Magill was drafted by the Dodgers in the 31st round of the 2008 MLB Draft out of Royal High School in Simi Valley, California. He played with the Gulf Coast Dodgers in 2008, Ogden Raptors in 2009, Great Lakes Loons in 2010 and Rancho Cucamonga Quakes in 2011. With the AA Chattanooga Lookouts in 2012 he was 11-8 with a 3.76 ERA and was selected to the Southern League midseason All-Star team. The Dodgers added him to the 40 man roster after the season and promoted him to the AAA Albuquerque Isotopes to start 2013.

He was called up to the Majors for the first time on April 27, 2013 to start against the Milwaukee Brewers. He pitched 6.2 innings while allowing two runs and striking out seven. Magill made 3 more starts with the Dodgers before he was optioned back to Triple-A Albuquerque on May 20. He had no record and a 5.00 ERA in his 4 starts. Magill was recalled again to make an emergency start in place of Hyun-Jin Ryu on June 2. Magill spent the entire 2014 season with the Isotopes, where he worked as both a starter and a reliever. He was in 36 games and started 12 of them. He was 7-6 with a 5.21 ERA.

Cincinnati Reds

On December 2, 2014, Magill was traded to the Cincinnati Reds for outfielder Chris Heisey.[1] He underwent Tommy John surgery in May, ending his season[2] and was released by the Reds in June.[3]

San Diego Padres

On January 30, 2017, Magill signed a minor league contract with the San Diego Padres.[4] He elected free agency on November 6, 2017.

Minnesota Twins

On January 24, 2018, Magill signed a minor league contract with the Minnesota Twins.[5] His contract was selected by the Twins on April 28.[6] Magill spent the remainder of the season pitching out of the bullpen, appearing in 40 games. He struck out 56 in 56+2⁄3 innings. He went 2–0 with a 4.45 ERA in 28 innings for the Twins in 2019, before being designated for assignment on July 21.[7]

Seattle Mariners

On July 21, 2019, Magill was traded to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for cash considerations.[8] In 22 games, Magill was 3-2 with 28 strikeouts in 22+1⁄3 innings. Magill began the 2020 season with a 6.10 ERA with 11 strikeouts in 10.1 innings pitched across 11 appearances before being placed on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder strain on August 28, 2020. He was later shifted to the 60-day injured list.[9] On October 22, 2020, Magill was activated from the 60-day injured list, but was outrighted off of the 40-man roster and elected free agency.[10] On November 5, 2020, Magill re-signed a minor league deal with the Mariners.
