Overview

• Christian Scott, a promising Mets pitcher, has been sidelined since July due to a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.
• After attempting a conservative treatment approach, Scott will now undergo a hybrid Tommy John surgery performed by Dr. Keith Meister next week.
• The procedure includes both a traditional ligament replacement and an internal brace, aimed at enhancing the stability and longevity of the new ligament.
• Scott, who posted a 4.56 ERA in nine MLB starts this season, will miss all of the 2025 season as he recovers.
• The Mets will need to bolster their pitching rotation in the offseason, with several key starters set to become free agents.
