Scrubb signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scrubb holds a 3.32 ERA and 1.48 WHIP across 43.1 frames in his career from his time with the Astros in 2020-21. Injuries and a lack of interest in free agency have kept Scrubb out of action since then. Considering how long it's been since Scrubb has pitched in a game, he will likely slide into an organizational depth role with the Mets.

Scrubb was outrighted to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the signing of Justin Verlander (elbow). Scrubb pitched in 18 games for Houston in 2021 and had a 5.03 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 21:14 K:BB over 19.2 innings.

Scrubb (shoulder) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scrubb began a rehab assignment at the end of August and recorded a 1.69 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 5.1 innings across 5.1 innings. He'll remain in the minors now that he's healthy but will be considered for a call-up if the Astros need a fresh bullpen arm late in the season.

Scrubb (shoulder) threw one scoreless inning with one walk and two strikeouts for Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scrubb made the second of what is expected to be several minor-league appearances. He currently resides on the 60-day injured list, and the earliest he could be back is Sept. 19. The Astros got their bullpen sorted out at the trade deadline, so Scrubb will likely be used in low-leverage situations upon his return.

The Astros sent Scrubb (shoulder) to the rookie-level Florida Complex League to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

After being deactivated July 19 due to a strained left shoulder before being moved to the 60-day injured list, Scrubb won't be eligible to rejoin the Astros until the second half of September. With that in mind, he'll likely be in store for an extended minor-league rehab assignment that will presumably include stops at multiple affiliates. If he makes it back to Houston before season's end, Scrubb will likely be relegated to low-leverage work out of the bullpen.

Scrubb (shoulder) threw 20 pitches off a mound Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Scrubb has been on the injured list, first the 10-day then the 60-day, since July 17. After Houston upgraded its bullpen at the trade deadline, the team is not counting on Scrubb to be anything more than a low-leverage option when he returns.

Scrubb (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scrubb has been out since July 19 with a right shoulder strain. He began a flat-ground throwing program Friday but will not be eligible to return to the Astros until September 19. Before the injury, Scrubb pitched to a 5.03 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 19.2 innings of relief while blowing two saves in 18 appearances. Pedro Baez (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day IL to fill Scrubb's 40-man roster spot Tuesday.

Scrubb (shoulder) began a throwing program Friday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scrubb, who was placed on the 10-day injured list July 19 with a right shoulder strain, threw 40 pitches off flat ground Friday as part of a throwing regimen designed by the team's trainers. There is no timetable for when the right-hander can throw off a mound.

Scrubb was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a strained right shoulder, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear when Scrubb picked up the injury, but he last pitched Friday against the White Sox and delivered one scoreless inning. The right-hander will be eligible to return in late July, though it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy by that point.

Scrubb allowed three walks and struck out two over 2.2 scoreless innings in Tuesday's 13-3 loss to the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Scrubb entered after starter Jose Urquidy left with right shoulder discomfort. He'll continue to serve in a multi-inning relief role. The right-hander has a 5.94 ERA and 1.68 WHIP over 16.2 innings out of bullpen.
