Mets Send Christian Scott Back To The Minors
6 months agoThe New York Mets optioned right-handed rookie Christian Scott to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, according to sources, further changing their roster a day after designating reliever Jorge Lopez for assignment following his ejection and glove-fling into the stands on Wednesday. In his first five major-league starts this year, Scott had a decent 3.90 ERA while striking out 25 hitters and walking six in 27 2/3 innings. He's expected to return to the big leagues soon, as the stint in the minors aligns with an upcoming stretch in which the Mets have extra days off due to their upcoming trip to London. Scott is considered the team's No. 3 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, so fantasy managers should keep him stashed if they have the room. This quick demotion will allow the Mets to limit the 24-year-old's innings a bit before he eventually rejoins the big-league rotation.
