Christian Scott a High-Upside Streamer to Target on the Waiver Wire
New York Mets starting pitcher Christian Scott opened 2026 in Triple-A after missing the entire 2025 season while recovering from elbow surgery. However, Scott rejoined the Mets rotation in late April and has been solid across 15 2/3 innings (four starts), pitching to a 3.45 ERA and 1.40 WHIP with 20 strikeouts. While Scott has struggled to work deep into games, he's logged 19 strikeouts over his last three appearances and is averaging 96 miles per hour on his fastball. As he gets more innings post-surgery under his belt, Scott's current walk rate of 12.9% should start to regress closer to the 6.1% walk rate he posted across 47 1/3 innings after making his MLB debut in 2024. Scott is currently slated for two manageable road starts against the Washington Nationals and Miami Marlins in the upcoming week and profiles as a solid streaming option with upside for fantasy managers to target on the waiver wire.
