Brandon Ingram is doubtful for Game 6 against the Cavaliers due to a heel injury.
Christian Scott aims to prove himself after a challenging return to the Mets' rotation. Following Tommy John surgery, he showed improvement in Triple-A, striking out 12 batters in 10.1 innings.

Christian Scottâs return to the big-league level wasâŠrough.
After completing the long journey back following Tommy John surgery, the young right-hander appeared to have found his groove over his second and third outings at the Triple-A level.
Scott gave up seven runs in his regular season opener, but bounced back nicely to allow just two while striking out 12 batters in 10.1 innings of work over the next two.
So with the backend of the Metsâ rotation struggling, they decided to give him a shot.
âThe way Scotty's been throwing the ball, we knew it was just going to be a matter of time before he was going to help us -- here we are giving him that opportunity, he's earned it and we're excited,â Carlos Mendoza said.
Things, however, didnât quite go as planned.
The 26-year-old, who was calm and collected in his first call-up back in 2024, was a bit overwhelmed by the moment as he lasted just 1.1 innings before being pulled.
Scott simply could not find the zone, issuing a career-high five walks and hitting another batter.
âIt started to get away [from me],â he told Anthony Dicomo on MLB.com. âIt was just like first walk, second walk, and thatâs not really who I am -- then you start aiming. You try to throw the ball over the plate. It kind of spiraled on me.â
The Mets sent Scott back down to Syracuse one day later, but with Kodai Senga landing on the IL earlier this week, it created another opportunity for him to show he belongs at this level.
Scott is set to take the ball in Friday nightâs series opener against the Angels.
âI still trust my stuff and believe in it," he said. "I know if I go out there, I belong at this level. So Iâm not too worried about it. Definitely something to learn from, to take with me to the next couple of starts and throughout my career.
