As the New York Mets anticipate Kodai Senga’s return to their starting rotation (Senga is set to debut Friday night against the Atlanta Braves), the team has lost one of their current starters to the injured list.

Rookie pitcher Christian Scott was placed on the injured list with a UCL sprain, the Mets announced on Tuesday. In his rookie season, Scott is 0-3 with a 4.56 ERA, 39 strikeouts, and a 1.204 WHIP in 9 starts. He has allowed 24 earned runs, 12 walks, 8 home runs, and 45 hits.

Manager Carlos Mendoza spoke to the media before the Mets’ Tuesday game against the New York Yankees, stating that Scott felt discomfort following his latest start against the Miami Marlins on Sunday. The team is currently waiting to determine if it is a sprain or a tear.

Tale of Two Stints

Scott’s first year in the majors has been marked by both successes and challenges, effectively a tale of two call-ups. Initially, Scott made a strong impression after being called up in May. In his debut against the Tampa Bay Rays, he pitched 6 2/3 innings with 6 strikeouts. During his first five starts, Scott posted a 3.90 ERA with 25 strikeouts, holding opponents to a slash line of .233/.279/.369 and an OPS of .648. Things were looking promising until the Mets sent him back to Triple-A due to an innings limit.

Upon his return to the majors, Scott’s performance took a downturn. Over four starts, his ERA ballooned to 5.49. He allowed 21 hits, 12 earned runs, and 6 walks, managing only 14 strikeouts. His opponent’s slash line increased to .273/.333/.520, with an OPS of .853.

 

What Went Wrong?

One significant issue was the increase in home runs allowed. In his first stint, Scott gave up three home runs over five starts. Upon his return, he surrendered five home runs in just four starts. Additionally, his slider and sweeper pitches became less effective, often hanging over the middle of the plate. Scott’s injury is a setback for a promising rookie who needs more starts to develop. His presence could have bolstered the Mets’ rotation as they push for a playoff spot.

What Do The Mets Do in the Rotation?

With Senga set to return on Friday, the Mets face a decision: stick with a five-man rotation or switch to a six-man rotation. Another option is calling up Tylor Megill, though he has struggled in the majors. The team could also move José Buttó or Adrian Houser from the bullpen back into the rotation, though they have been valuable in relief roles, especially Buttó. For now, the Mets must find a way to manage their rotation without Scott.
