The Mets will officially recall Christian Scott on Wednesday where he will start against the Nationals and subtract a reliever.
WASHINGTON — Christian Scott was told by Mets officials not to worry when he was optioned back to Triple-A Syracuse on May 30 because he would be back with the major league team sooner rather than later.Corey Sipkin for New York Post
The organization’s top pitching prospect was a hit in his first stint with the team, pitching to a 3.90 ERA in five starts, which included a dominant major league debut at Tampa Bay on May 4 in which he allowed one earned run over 6 ²/₃ innings.“I was sharpening up the offspeed stuff and working in the top of the strike zone and just trying to be real consistent overall with my approach with right-handed and left-handed hitters,” Scott said at Nationals Park.
The Mets originally toyed with a six-man rotation that included Scott, but in need of bullpen help following Edwin Diaz’s sticky substance suspension, which runs through Friday, chose to option Tylor Megill to Syracuse following his Sunday start.Scott has averaged 94.3 mph with his four-seam fastball and complemented it with a sweeper, slider and splitter.“We know his stuff is real, but he’s not afraid — the moment is not too big for him,” manager Carlos Mendoza said.
The Mets are hopeful Kodai Senga will return after the All-Star break, and would shift to a six-man rotation as needed to give the Japanese right-hander extra rest between starts. Senga is scheduled to pitch in his first minor league rehab game Wednesday, putting him on the clock to be activated within the next 30 days if there isn’t a setback.
