The Mets shuffled a pair of right-handed pitchers in a Friday afternoon roster move, optioning Christian Scott back to Triple-A Syracuse and promoting veteran pitcher Carl Edwards Jr. to the major league squad.
Scott, who was promoted on Thursday, struggled in his season debut. In 1.1 innings pitched, he allowed one run, five walks, and a hit by pitch. It was the 26-year-old’s first big league start since July 21, 2024, after which he underwent Tommy John surgery.
Edwards was signed to a minor league deal by the Mets in December. The twelve-year veteran had a strong spring training, tossing 8.2 innings with two earned runs, three hits, and four walks to 11 strikeouts. In Syracuse, he hasn’t found the same success, pitching to a 5.29 ERA in 17 innings of work.
It remains to be seen how the Mets will fill the fifth spot in their starting rotation behind Freddy Peralta, Nolan McLean, Clay Holmes, and Kodai Senga. Edwards, David Peterson, Tobias Myers, and are all candidates to give the Mets multiple innings going forward, regardless of whether any of them are stretched out to be a full-time starter.
