Scott will throw from 45 feet Monday as he continues his recovery from hybrid elbow surgery performed last September, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
While he won't see any game action in 2025, Scott has progressed well so far in his rehab, and Monday will represent an important milestone -- his first time throwing since the surgery. "Counting down the hours," the right-hander said Tuesday. Scott has also improved his nutrition and overall fitness while rehabbing, and if he makes a full recovery, he's likely to be competing for a spot in the big-league rotation next spring.

The Mets placed Scott (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Feb. 12 make room for the signings of Pete Alonso and Drew Smith (elbow), Joe DeMayo of SNY reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old right-hander underwent a hybrid Tommy John and internal brace procedure on his elbow last September and is set to miss the entire 2025 campaign. Scott could be a factor in the Mets' rotation plans in 2026 if he makes a full recovery.

Scott (elbow) said Wednesday that he's about a month away from beginning a throwing program, SNY.tv reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scott is nearly five months removed from a hybrid Tommy John surgery and internal brace procedure on his right elbow. He will miss the entire 2025 campaign but, assuming all goes well with his rehab, should be ready to go for the start of the 2026 season.

The Mets transferred Scott (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Monday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Joey Lucchesi, who is making a spot start Monday in Atlanta. Scott will likely be sidelined until 2026 after requiring a hybrid Tommy John surgery and internal brace procedure on his pitching elbow.

Scott's (elbow) agent, Nate Heisler, announced Wednesday via social media that the right-hander will undergo a traditional Tommy John surgery combined with an internal brace early next week.
EDGE Analysis
Scott was placed on the 15-day injured list shortly after the All-Star break with a UCL sprain in his right elbow, but the Mets had initially been optimistic that the 25-year-old would be able to avoid surgery and make a late-season return. He was cleared to start throwing off flat ground in late August and advanced to throwing bullpen sessions earlier this month, but Scott appears to have hit a snag in his recovery that has prompted him to get surgery. Since Scott is set to undergo a hybrid procedure involving the internal brace, he may have a slightly speedier recovery than if he had opted for Tommy John surgery alone, but he's still likely to miss the entire 2025 season.

Scott (elbow) threw all of his pitches off the slope of the mound Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scott is hoping to be able to throw his full repertoire in a bullpen session soon. The young right-hander remains confident he'll be able to return from his right UCL sprain before the end of the season, but he's still got some ramping up to do and doesn't have a lot of time. Scott has been sidelined since late July.

Scott (elbow) threw off a mound Friday, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scott was limited to his fastball and changeup Friday, but he is expected to use his full arsenal the next time he throws off a mound. He has been on the injured list since July 23 due to a UCL sprain in his right elbow. Prior to the injury, Scott went 0-3 over nine starts with a 4.56 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 39:12 K:BB across 47.1 innings.

Scott (elbow) could begin throwing off a mound soon, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander has been playing catch for over a week now, and he's closing in on the next step in his recovery from a sprained UCL. Scott hasn't pitched in a game since July 21, but the Mets could use the boost to their rotation as they push for a playoff spot. A timeline for his activation from the IL could come into focus once he gets back on a mound.

Scott (elbow) played catch Monday and Tuesday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the first bit of throwing he's done since he was diagnosed with a sprained UCL in his right elbow in late July. Scott threw 35 fastballs from 75 feet Tuesday and will progress to 90 feet in his next throwing session. There's no timetable for the rookie right-hander's return, but it will take multiple weeks for him to become game-ready.

Manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Scott (elbow) will likely be cleared to begin a throwing program withing the next several days, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scott was expected to be shut down from throwing for two weeks once he landed on the injured list July 23 with a UCL sprain in his right elbow, so Mendoza's comments suggest that the 25-year-old remains on schedule in his recovery. A clear return timeline for the right-hander likely won't emerge until his throwing program ramps up, though a best-case scenario probably wouldn't see him rejoin the Mets' rotation until September.
