Christian Scott Officially Called Up For Wednesday's Start
5 months agoThe New York Mets officially recalled right-handed pitching prospect Christian Scott from Triple-A Syracuse and designated right-hander Matt Festa for assignment in a corresponding move. It was announced earlier this week that Scott would be rejoining New York's starting rotation to face the division-rival Washington Nationals on Wednesday. The 25-year-old could stick around in the Mets' rotation beyond the All-Star break if he holds his own, making him worth a waiver-wire pickup in most fantasy formats for his upside. While he had an ERA just south of 4.00 and didn't win any of his first five major-league starts earlier this year, he walked just six and fanned 25 in 27 2/3 innings of work. At Syracuse, he went 3-0 with a 2.76 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 55:12 K:BB in nine starts. Scott's combination of control and high whiff rate make him very attractive moving forward.
