Christian Scott To Undergo Hybrid Elbow Procedure
4 weeks agoNew York Mets rookie starting pitcher Christian Scott (elbow) is set to undergo a hybrid operation that combines a traditional Tommy John ligament replacement with an internal-brace procedure, according to Nate Heisler of the MLBAPA. The 25-year-old was placed on the 15-day IL back in July due to a UCL sprain and was not ruled out of returning later this summer. Unfortunately, the Florida product will now be sidelined for an extended period, and potentially all of the 2025 season, depending on the recovery timeline. Scott opened the season at Triple-A and held a strong 2.76 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and a 12:55 BB:K ratio across 42 innings of work before moving up to the majors. In the big leagues, Scott struggled with a 4.56 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP. The right-hander remains one of the better young arms in the Mets system and should continue to be stashed in all dynasty formats.
