Christian Scott to Throw Sim Game, Could be Back Next Week
New York Mets right-hander Christian Scott (hip) will throw a simulated game on Monday at Citi Field, according to The Athletic's Tim Britton. Scott, who went on the 15-day injured list early last week due to a right-hip impingement, feels much better after receiving an injection in his hip last week. Britton says that Scott could be ready to rejoin the Mets' starting rotation by next week. The 27-year-old will have a spot in New York's rotation waiting for him after looking good in his return from Tommy John surgery so far in 2026. The former fifth-round selection in 2021 out of the University of Florida went 2-0 with a 3.10 ERA (3.84 FIP) and 1.35 WHIP with 47 strikeouts and 19 walks in 40 2/3 innings pitched in his nine starts before going on the IL with his hip injury. Scott is only rostered in 13% of Yahoo leagues right now, but if he continues to pitch well upon his return, that number will be going up as we head into the All-Star break next month.
