A final-week start here always seemed kind of iffy for Scott, who pitched just nine times prior to Tommy John surgery in 2024 and then missed all of 2025. He ends a successful year having thrown 123 2/3 innings in 26 starts and having gone 4-5 with a 3.85 ERA and a 134/47 K/BB in 110 innings in the majors. If the Mets can improve this winter, it would go a long way towards making Scott a better fourth or fifth starter in mixed leagues next year.

Scott cruised through three scoreless innings before giving up a run on three hits in the fourth. Getting into the third time through the order, Scott gave up one more run on two hits and a sacrifice fly in the fifth, then departed with two outs at 79 pitches with seven strikeouts. One inherited runner would come in to score. The 27-year-old right-hander will carry a 3.85 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and a 134/47 K/BB ratio across 110 innings into a road start against the Nationals on Friday.

Scott served up a solo homer to Ben Rice in the first inning. After a scoreless second, Austin Wells took him deep for a solo homer in the third. Scott was otherwise excellent as he completed six frames with just the two runs allowed while striking out seven in a quality start. The 27-year-old right-hander will take a 3.76 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and a 127/46 K/BB ratio across 105 1/3 innings into a start against the Phillies in New York on Saturday.

Scott gave up four hits, walked none and struck out seven. His seven strikeouts were one away from tying his season-high. The Mets reportedly plan to reduce Scott’s workload in the final month of the season and he was removed after 80 pitches on Sunday. He has a 3.81 ERA. Scott is lined up to face the Yankees at home next weekend, though it will be difficult for him to win games with the Mets keeping him on a short leash.

Justin Hagenman (rib) will will be activated to start Wednesday’s series finale against the Rays, which enables the Mets to push Scott back to Friday’s series opener against the reeling Giants. It’s a nice bonus for fantasy managers since he’ll get to face one of the weakest lineups in baseball at Citi Field.

Scott gave up five hits, walked four and struck out six. The Mets took a 7-3 lead in the top of the fifth inning. In the bottom of the fifth, the White Sox loaded the bases with one out. Scott struck out Andrew Benintendi before walking Braden Montgomery and making the score 7-4. The Mets had to go to the bullpen and Scott was saddled with a no-decision despite New York’s offense supporting him with seven runs. He has a 3.73 ERA. Scott is lined up to face the Astros at home next weekend.

Scott allowed five hits and walked two. He was impressive against the highest-scoring lineup in MLB, though Washington was still without James Wood. A solo homer off the bat of Abimelec Ortiz was the only extra-base hit he allowed. This was the first time he’d pitched into the seventh inning since returning from Tommy John surgery this season. Scott will carry a 3.51 ERA into a road matchup against the White Sox next time out.

Scott struck out six before being pulled with a 7-4 lead after four innings. The early exit kept him 3-3, even though the Mets improved to 12-5 in his 17 starts. The four runs tied Scott’s high for the year. He still seems like a worthy mixed-league play at home against the James Wood-less Nationals on Sunday.

Scott breezed through the first three innings allowing just one hit and two base runners behind his blazing fastball. Then, he ran into trouble in both the fourth and fifth. He walked a tightrope to allow just one in the fourth after the inning began with a walk, double, and single. A beautiful back-door sweeper to Petey Halpin helped him out of that jam, but two more singles and walks apiece led to two more runs in the fifth and soiled a start that seemed more promising. Almost all of the damage against him came from left-handed batters, who continue to give Scott trouble. Yet, very few balls were struck well and Scott’s command was generally good, it was just one of those nights where the hits were falling. His 17 swings-and-misses tied a season-high and left this start with a 3.15 ERA through 74 1/3 innings. He’s lined up for a two-start week coming up against the Braves and Nationals.

Scott stood up to the tall task of battling with the Braves’ lineup and Chris Sale in this game. He matched Sale with zeroes over the first five innings, but gave up a run in the sixth after nine-hitter Jim Jarvis got him for a two-strike double and Matt Olson later drove him in. As far as silver linings go, this was the first time this season that Scott completed six innings and he was highly effective on the whole. His fastball led the way with 10 swings-and-misses and he threw it more than half of the time. Facing a lineup with six left-handed hitters, Scott had to shy a bit away from his trusted sweeper and instead threw some cutters plus more curveballs and splitters than usual. He’s been working hard to make those last two pitches more consistent and while they didn’t miss bats, it was encouraging to see his relative trust in them. He lowered his ERA to 2.99 in what’s been a breakout season so far and is lined up for a two-start week against the Guardians and Pirates coming up.

He struck out six. The runs all came in the second, with Joey Ortiz’s two-run triple to right serving as the big blow. That ball really ought to have been caught, though, and probably would have been had the Mets started Luis Robert Jr. or Tyrone Taylor in the outfield today instead of playing Brett Baty in right. If it had been caught, there’s a good chance Scott would have gotten through four scoreless and continued to pitch into the fifth. As is, he was done very early, and his ERA rose from 2.87 to 3.13. He should still be a nice option in mixed leagues next week with home starts against the Braves and Marlins.

The 27-year-old hurler scattered three hits on the evening and didn’t walk a batter. Two of the three hits that he surrendered were doubles to Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper, but he was able to evade any damage being done. Scott generated 12 swings and misses on 79 offerings in the contest — five of them on his fastball — while registering a strong CSW of 35 percent. He’ll look to replicate this fine effort as he carries a 2.87 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and a 72/26 K/BB ratio (59 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s battle against the Brewers in Milwaukee.

Scott provided some quality innings for a Mets team that desperately needed it after allowing 45 runs in their last four games. His fastball and sweeper were electric as usual, forcing eight of his 10 total swings-and-misses while working mostly to right-handed batters. It’s also worth noting how comfortable he was with his cutter against left-handed batters. A bit of a problem spot for him this season, he crowded them with it, got a handful of called strikes, and forced soft contact every time it was put into play. He’s thrown it at least 20% of the time to lefties in four straight outings and its 35% usage rate in this game was his highest since May 1st. He’ll close a solid first half with a 3.17 ERA, 65 strikeouts, and 26 walks across 54 innings.

This start was a perfect microcosm for who Scott is as a pitcher right now. His fastball was electric at the top of the zone and forced eight of his 13 total swings-and-misses. Also, his sweeper was highly effective against right-handed batters. On the flip side, he allowed two home runs to left-handed batters and struggled to put them away. His cutter was effective against them though, which is something to watch moving forward as he tries to find a reliable weapon against lefties. On the season, he has a 3.49 ERA with 60 strikeouts and 25 walks through 49 innings. He’s scheduled to face the Royals next time out in his last start of the first half.

Scott pitched well in his first start back from the injured list after missing the last two weeks with a hip injury. The only blemish was a two-run homer by Bryce Harper in the third inning. Scott would pitch into the fifth, leaving with one out at 82 pitches. It was the sixth time in ten starts that Scott failed to complete five innings. The 27-year-old right-hander will take a 3.20 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and a 53/21 K/BB ratio across 45 innings into a start against the Braves in Atlanta on Friday.

Scott returns to New York’s rotation mix following a minimum stay on the injured list due to a hip impingement. The 27-year-old former top pitching prospect allowed three earned runs or fewer in eight consecutive starts prior to being tagged for four runs over 4 2/3 innings by the Cardinals during his last start before landing on the shelf. He holds an encouraging 3.10 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 47/19 K/BB ratio across 40 2/3 innings this season. There’s some risk right out of the gate for fantasy managers in a matchup against Philadelphia’s high-powered lineup, but he’s a worthwhile pickup in deeper leagues where he was dropped.

Scott is eligible to come off the injured list on Saturday, which would bump Kodai Senga back a couple days or out of New York’s rotation entirely. It’ll be David Peterson handling Friday’s series opener. The 27-year-old will wind up missing only a pair of starts after hitting the injured list with a hip impingement earlier this month. He had allowed three earned runs or fewer in eight consecutive starts prior to being tagged for four runs over 4 2/3 innings by the Cardinals during his last start before landing on the shelf. He boasts a strong 3.10 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 47/19 K/BB ratio across 40 2/3 innings this season. He’s a decent streaming option for fantasy managers in deeper formats where he may have been dropped.

Scott is eligible to come off the injured list next Saturday and might return to the Mets rotation then after missing only two starts.

The issue is believed to be relatively minor, according to The New York Post’s Jon Heyman. However, it’ll keep Scott sidelined until at least late June in a best-case scenario. The 27-year-old righty had allowed three earned runs or fewer in eight consecutive starts prior to being tagged for four runs over 4 2/3 innings by the Cardinals during his last start. He holds a respectable 3.10 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 47/19 K/BB ratio across 40 2/3 innings this season. It’ll be Tobias Myers taking his spot in New York’s rotation for now.

The New York Post’s Jon Heyman says it’s a hip issue, and it’s supposed to be relatively minor. Jonah Tong could be recalled to fill in for him. Kodai Senga was expected to make another rehab start, but he could be activated early.
