Mets Rookie Christian Scott to Undergo Hybrid Tommy John Surgery, Out Until 2026

Scott's surgery, combining traditional ligament replacement with an internal brace, will sideline him for the entire 2025 season.

  • 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.
