Christian Scott Placed On 15-Day Injured List
5 months agoThe New York Mets placed rookie right-hander Christian Scott (elbow) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to July 22) with a right-UCL sprain on Tuesday and recalled left-handed reliever Alex Young from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move. This is pretty bad news for the young 25-year-old pitching prospect, as this could lead to Tommy John surgery, which would sideline him for the rest of 2024 and most, if not all, of next year as well. Fantasy managers in single-year leagues shouldn't expect Scott to be of much use for the rest of this season, if he even makes it back to New York's rotation. He'll be replaced in the rotation by Kodai Senga (shoulder, triceps), who will make his season debut on Friday against Atlanta. Scott debuted to much fanfare in 2024, only to go 0-3 with a 4.56 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with a below-average 19.8% strikeout rate and eight homers allowed in nine starts (47 1/3 innings).
