There was a certain “here we go again” feeling when Christian Scott allowed a first-inning homer to Jorge Soler. The righty had been lackluster in 1 1/3 innings and walked five batters in his 2026 debut, and had already put the Mets in an early 2-0 hole going into the bottom of the second. There was concern that Scott was on his way to another poor start. But as the night continued,...
The New York Mets are calling up 34-year-old right-hander Carl Edwards Jr. from Triple-A Syracuse and optioning Christian Scott back to the minor leagues, Will Sammon of The Athletic reported Friday. Edwards has struck out 13, walked 11 and pitched to a 5.29 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 17 innings at Triple-A Syracuse this year. He threw three innings apiece last year for the Los Angeles Angels and...
Rejoice! The New York Mets finally won a game and a series! After the losing streak hit 12 consecutive games, the Mets finally put an end to the downslide by taking two out of three from the Minnesota Twins. It wasn’t always pretty or straightforward, and the series win did come with a cost with Francisco Lindor picking up a potentially serious injury. However, it was important that the...
Right-hander Christian Scott will start the Mets’ series finale against the Twins on Thursday, Carlos Mendoza announced. Kodai Senga, who was in line to start that day, will remain in the starting rotation but will be pushed to Saturday. Mendoza also said David Peterson will remain in the bullpen through this turn in the rotation. “The way Scott has been throwing the ball over the...
On Sunday, the Mets opted to use Tobias Myers to open in front of David Peterson. While this was likely intended as a way to circumvent the issues Peterson has had early in games — which worked — it did also signal a potential loss of faith in Peterson by the Mets. That, coupled with the Mets not naming a starter for Thursday’s game, on Kodai Senga’s day to pitch, raises the...
All four Mets minor league affiliates were in action on Wednesday, and following suit with their parent organization, they could not find a way to pull off a win. The Rumble Ponies dropped to even on the season (5-5) while each of the other squads is under .500. There were, however, some bright spots amongst the games, highlighted by Randy Guzman and Christian Scott. Triple-A...

The first full slate of games for the Mets’ minor league affiliates did not exactly go as planned, with only Binghamton and St. Lucie picking up a win on Friday. Christian Scott made his first start in affiliated ball since returning from Tommy John Surgery in mid-2024. In Binghamton, the offense carried the team to an extra-inning win, despite shaky pitching up and down the staff....
After Low-A St. Lucie began their season on Thursday, both Double-A Binghamton and High-A Brooklyn will do the same on Friday as they ring in Opening Day.

Here are some of the Mets pitchers who have developed new pitches or adjusted their pitch shapes this spring. Tobias Myers Tobias Myers has been working with Mets pitching coach Justin Willard on a new slider shape which he described in camp as being...
If you are looking for great signs for the Mets during spring training, there were two on Wednesday: Christian Scott was excellent in his return to game action and Carson Benge took a lefty deep. “Pretty impressive,” Carlos Mendoza told reporters of Scott’s outing after he struck out five over 2 2/3 scoreless innings in a 5-2 win over Team Israel. “First time out there...
