Christian Scott Fantasy Stats

The New York Mets announced on Monday that they placed right-hander Christian Scott (hip) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to June 12) with a right-hip impingement. For now, right-hander Tobias Myers will be recalled from Triple-A Syracuse and will make the start on Monday at the Cincinnati Reds for New York's banged-up starting rotation. The good news for the Mets is that Scott's hip injury isn't serious, so he'll have a chance to return from the IL when he's eligible on June 27. With Scott out for at least the next two weeks, left-hander David Peterson, who has struggled in multiple roles this year, could see more starting opportunities, as could rookies Jonah Tong, Zach Thornton, and Jack Wenninger. In his return from Tommy John surgery this year, the 27-year-old Scott has looked good, going 2-0 with a 3.10 ERA (3.84 FIP) and 1.35 WHIP with 47 strikeouts and 19 walks in 40 2/3 frames across his nine starts. Scott has pitched well enough to have a rotation spot waiting for him when he's ready to return from his hip impingement. He's currently rostered in only 21% of Yahoo leagues.

New York Mets right-hander Christian Scott (undisclosed) is set to land on the 15-day injured list this week with an undisclosed injury, league sources told Will Sammon of The Athletic. The good news for the Mets and their banged-up starting rotation is that early indications are that Scott's injury is minor. But with Scott now set to miss at least two weeks, the Mets only have left-hander Sean Manaea and right-handers Nolan McLean and Freddy Peralta as firm starters. Scott's injury could mean more starting opportunities for lefty David Peterson, who currently has a 5.75 ERA (3.51 FIP). In his first season back from Tommy John surgery this year, Scott has shown plenty of promise with a 3.10 ERA in nine starts across 40 2/3 innings. Right-hander Tobias Myers is set to start on Monday for the Mets against the Cincinnati Reds on the road, but he's not stretched out as a starter. To fill Scott's spot in the rotation, the Mets could turn to rookies Jonah Tong and Zach Thornton. Tong is the higher upside prospect. Eventually, righty Kodai Senga (back, arm) could be an option to return to the rotation following his minor-league rehab assignment. Scott is rostered in only 23% of Yahoo leagues.

New York Mets starting pitcher Christian Scott has looked solid on the mound during most of his outings this season. Scott has locked it in lately with impressive numbers over his last three starts. During that span, Scott has allowed one earned run with 16 strikeouts across 16.1 innings of work. Overall, Scott owns a 2.50 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and a 41:18 K:BB ratio across eight starts this season. The biggest downside to Scott so far has been his inability to work deep into games. Scott has not managed to pitch six full innings in any of his outings this season. Despite that, Scott has posted strong numbers and is someone worth scooping up on the waiver wire right now.

New York Mets right-hander Christian Scott continues to trend upward after delivering his best start of the season last Sunday. Scott fired 5 2/3 scoreless innings, marking the deepest outing of his 2026 campaign and lowering his ERA to 3.20. The 25-year-old appears to be settling into a rhythm as he builds toward a full workload. Through 25 1/3 innings, Scott has recorded 30 strikeouts while posting a 1.38 WHIP. His ability to miss bats has remained a strength, and he has done an excellent job limiting hard contact. Scott's 1.5 percent barrel rate ranks in the 98th percentile among qualified pitchers. While he is still somewhat under the radar in fantasy leagues, the improving results and strong underlying metrics suggest he is worth monitoring as a potential rotation addition.

New York Mets starting pitcher Christian Scott tossed 5.2 innings of scoreless baseball during his latest start against the Miami Marlins on Sunday. Along the way, he allowed four hits and two walks while striking out five batters. Scott is 0-3 through 15 career starts, but it's not for a lack of quality outings. He owns a 4.09 career ERA, including a 3.20 ERA and a 3.47 FIP this season. Across six starts (25.1 innings) in 2026, he has also amassed 10.66 K/9, 4.97 BB/9, 0.36 HR/9, and a 28.6% ground ball rate. Given how well he has pitched this year, Scott has emerged as a priority target on the waiver wire in fantasy baseball. He ranks #81 among starters in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings, and he is available in more than 90% of leagues.

New York Mets starting pitcher Christian Scott opened 2026 in Triple-A after missing the entire 2025 season while recovering from elbow surgery. However, Scott rejoined the Mets rotation in late April and has been solid across 15 2/3 innings (four starts), pitching to a 3.45 ERA and 1.40 WHIP with 20 strikeouts. While Scott has struggled to work deep into games, he's logged 19 strikeouts over his last three appearances and is averaging 96 miles per hour on his fastball. As he gets more innings post-surgery under his belt, Scott's current walk rate of 12.9% should start to regress closer to the 6.1% walk rate he posted across 47 1/3 innings after making his MLB debut in 2024. Scott is currently slated for two manageable road starts against the Washington Nationals and Miami Marlins in the upcoming week and profiles as a solid streaming option with upside for fantasy managers to target on the waiver wire.

New York Mets starting pitcher Christian Scott is beginning to settle in at the big league level. He struggled during his first outing of the year, when he issued five walks across 1.1 innings of work on April 23. Since then, Scott has cleaned up his act on the mound and is putting together quality numbers. During his most recent outing, Scott tossed 4.2 innings, allowing one earned run on three hits while striking out six batters in a no-decision against the Colorado Rockies. The right-hander has walked only two batters since his rough outing to begin the season. He's currently lined up to face the Detroit Tigers in his next start. He should be considered a possible deep league streaming option for that one.

New York Mets starting pitcher Christian Scott had a brutal season debut last Thursday and was optioned back to Triple-A Syracuse last Friday. The 26-year-old righty still has a high ceiling, though, and his potential is high enough to keep him on the radar in deep leagues or leagues that make it easy to stash players in the minors. He issued five walks and hit a batter while lasting just 1 1/3 innings in his start against the Twins, exiting with a 6.75 ERA and 15.13 FIP in his only MLB outing of the year. He was 0-2 in his three minor-league starts with a 5.27 ERA, but he continues to showcase strikeout upside with 17 strikeouts in 13 2/3 innings. He has good stuff but his control still needs to be refined. Scott has a high ceiling and could be worth stashing, but the former top prospect is best left for deep leagues until he gets another chance to contribute.

New York Mets right-handed pitcher Christian Scott is set to join the team's starting rotation on Thursday and will face the Minnesota Twins. Scott made his MLB debut during the 2024 campaign and posted a modest 4.56 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP over his first 47 1/3 innings. He struck out just 39 hitters. Scott would then miss the entire 2025 campaign after undergoing internal brace surgery. In camp, Scott logged six innings and flashed upside, striking out eight batters, but was sent to Triple-A Syracuse to further his workload. With the top level of the minor leagues, Scott had a rough debut, allowing six earned runs, but has bounced back since, logging 10 1/3 frames with a 1.74 ERA and a 12:2 K:BB over his last two outings. As a result, Kodai Senga will have his start pushed back, but will remain in the rotation. Scott's strikeout upside makes him a viable streaming target in deeper 12+ team leagues.

New York Mets starting pitcher Christian Scott could be on the verge of a promotion after a hot start at Triple-A. Over his last two starts, Scott has a 1.74 ERA, 0.58 WHIP, and a 12/2 K/BB ratio across 10.1 innings of work. The 26-year-old got a taste for the big leagues last season when he registered a 4.56 ERA with a 39/12 K/BB ratio across six starts with the Mets. Given the Mets' struggles, it wouldn't be shocking to see them shake things up soon. Scott has shown that he's ready for the big league level, and the Mets need to do something after a tough 7-13 start to the season. Fantasy managers seeking pitching help might want to consider stashing Scott if they have room for him on their roster.
