Christian Scott Resumes Throwing
3 months agoNew York Mets rookie right-hander Christian Scott (elbow) has resumed throwing and played catch both on Monday and Tuesday. Scott threw another 35 fastballs at 75 feet on Tuesday. He'll next move to throwing from 90 feet after feeling good the last two days. The 25-year-old is hoping to avoid surgery after being diagnosed with a sprained UCL in his right elbow in late July. He's making good progress, but there's no timetable for his return, and with the 2024 season winding down, there's no guarantee that we'll see Scott back in New York's big-league starting rotation the rest of the way. The former fifth-round pick in 2021 out of Florida didn't exactly make the best impression in his first nine big-league starts, either, going 0-3 with a 4.56 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 39 strikeouts in 47 1/3 innings pitched.
