Christian Scott Throws Off Mound On Friday
3 months agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Christian Scott (elbow) threw off a mound on Friday in a positive bullpen session. Scott only threw his fastball and changeup but will be able to throw his other pitches in his next bullpen session. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza did say he expects Scott to join the Mets again this season but won't be built up pitch-count-wise. The major implication here for fantasy managers is that if Scott does rejoin the major league club that he likely won't be back in the Mets' rotation. Fantasy managers that were hoping for the rookie to help out in the playoff push will need to recalibrate and look for other options to help from a starting pitcher perspective. Left-hander David Peterson and his 2.83 ERA would be a fine addition for any fantasy roster he isn't on and should be swept up off the waiver wire if available.
