The New York Mets have lost a promising rookie to the IL with a concerning injury. They're still waiting on his MRI results, but there is some level of worry.
Top prospect rookie starting pitcher Christian Scott was placed on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday ahead of the Subway Series with a UCL sprain.
Carlos Mendoza says that Christian Scott complained of discomfort in his elbow after his start in Miami.If it's a tear of the UCL, that typically means Tommy John surgery is on the table, which would be crushing for the Mets' no. 3 ranked prospect. According to Mendoza, someone will have to step up, and Jose Butto, who was recently moved to the bullpen and has been thriving in a long-relief role, as well as Tylor Megill are options to slide back into the rotation.
