According to manager Carlos Mendoza, the Mets are calling up Christian Scott to start Thursday’s game with the Minnesota Twins. Kodai Senga will remain in the rotation for now, while David Peterson will be in the bullpen for at least this turn through the rotation. Due to that, it is likely that a reliever will be the corresponding move when Scott is called up.
Scott has made three starts for Triple-A Syracuse this year, with one being quite bad and the others being good. In 13 and two-thirds innings, Scott has walked just two and struck out 17. Scott made nine big league starts in 2024 before requiring Tommy John Surgery.
With Nolan McLean already up and Jonah Tong not far behind, the Mets are hoping their young pitching can turn their season around after a series of not great starts from their veterans. However, it is the lack of offense that has really hamstrung the club, and no amount of elite starting pitching can fix that. However, with Juan Soto rejoining the lineup on Wednesday, the Mets are at least have some help on the way and are not stagnantly waiting for their luck to improve.
The Mets, behind McLean, start a homestand tonight against the Twins. Former Met farmhand Simeon Woods-Richardson starts for Minnesota.
