Christian Scott is making progress from the sprained UCL in his right elbow that has kept him out since July 21 and there remains a chance he could be back with the Mets this season.
Mets’ 4-1 victory over the Red SoxCarlos Mendoza said the 25-year-old is in a “good spot” and that he should be able to start throwing bullpen sessions in the coming days.
Scott showed flashes of what made him the top Mets pitching prospect before he was called up for the first time in early May, but after putting up a 3.54 ERA in his first five starts in the majors, Scott’s ERA was 5.49 in his last four outings prior to the injury.Francisco Alvarez didn’t start for a second straight game Monday and Mendoza said he was giving the struggling catcher a “mental break” against Boston right-hander Brayan Bello.
Luis Torrens started again in Alvarez’s place on Monday and has impressed throughout his first season in Queens after being acquired from the Yankees, but has also slumped of late. Phil Maton continued his strong performance as a Met, as he retired the side in order in the top of the ninth to pick up his first save of the season.
