Christian Scott Placed on Injured List With Hip Impingement
The New York Mets announced on Monday that they placed right-hander Christian Scott (hip) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to June 12) with a right-hip impingement. For now, right-hander Tobias Myers will be recalled from Triple-A Syracuse and will make the start on Monday at the Cincinnati Reds for New York's banged-up starting rotation. The good news for the Mets is that Scott's hip injury isn't serious, so he'll have a chance to return from the IL when he's eligible on June 27. With Scott out for at least the next two weeks, left-hander David Peterson, who has struggled in multiple roles this year, could see more starting opportunities, as could rookies Jonah Tong, Zach Thornton, and Jack Wenninger. In his return from Tommy John surgery this year, the 27-year-old Scott has looked good, going 2-0 with a 3.10 ERA (3.84 FIP) and 1.35 WHIP with 47 strikeouts and 19 walks in 40 2/3 frames across his nine starts. Scott has pitched well enough to have a rotation spot waiting for him when he's ready to return from his hip impingement. He's currently rostered in only 21% of Yahoo leagues.
