Mets' Christian Scott: Re-entering rotation Friday

Scott is slated to start Friday's game in Anaheim.

Analysis:

During his 2026 MLB debut last week against the Twins, Scott recorded just four outs while issuing five walks and hitting another batter, prompting the Mets to option him to Triple-A Syracuse following the start. The right-hander ended up being recalled Tuesday after Kodai Senga (back) was placed on the injured list, however. With David Peterson (6.53 ERA in 30.1 innings) also pitching poorly, Scott could stick around in the rotation on a more permanent basis if he's able to deliver a strong outing against the Angels.
