ARLINGTON, Texas \u2014 The New York Mets<\/a> placed starter Christian Scott<\/a> on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, ending the right-hander’s season because of left knee inflammation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Devin Williams<\/a>\u00a0was activated from the IL after not pitching since Aug. 7 because of a right shoulder strain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Andy Green, after being\u00a0named the Mets’ full-time manager, said Scott had a slight dip in velocity during his last start against Philadelphia after slipping on the mound while warming up Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cDidn\u2019t tell anybody and knee swelled up on him, and it\u2019s not right to push through anything at this stage of the season,\u201d Green said. \u201cDon\u2019t think there\u2019s anything long-term here, but it is enough that it doesn\u2019t make sense for him to make his next start.\u201d<\/p>\n

After missing all of 2025 recovering from Tommy John surgery, Scott went 4-5 with a 3.85 ERA in 23 starts this season. He had 134 strikeouts in 111 innings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Williams is 3-2 with a 4.66 ERA and 16 saves in 42 appearances during his first season with the Mets. A two-time all-star closer, the right-hander signed a\u00a0$51 million, three-year deal in December\u00a0shortly before incumbent closer Edwin D\u00edaz left New York for the Los Angeles Dodgers as a free agent.<\/p>\n

Green said the last-place Mets hope to get Williams in a couple of games before the season ends Sunday. Kodai Senga has been closing games in his absence.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think long term we know what role he will slide back into, but for these outings I don\u2019t think we\u2019re overly concerned about that,\u201d Green said. “We just want to get him back on the mound pitching again and he\u2019s done a lot of work to get to that point.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ARLINGTON, Texas \u2014 The New York Mets placed starter Christian Scott on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, ending…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":905964,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-905963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/905963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=905963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/905963\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/905964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=905963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=905963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=905963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
