Mets\' Christian Scott To Have Tommy John, Likely Out For 2025
New York Mets rookie right-hander Christian Scott is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery next week and is expected to miss the entire 2025 season.
Scott hasn\'t pitched since July 21 due to a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.
\"I think it\'s safe to say that he\'s done for next year,\" Carlos Mendoza said. \"That\'s why we waited. He gave it a try because if this was the decision, we knew he was going to be done anyway.\"
Scott, 25, began throwing off a mound late last month but said Wednesday he had a difficult time making some of his pitches.
\"Just couldn\'t get over the hump with some of the off-speed pitches. Once we started to reach that over 82, 83 mph, it\'s kind of the same feeling as before,\" Scott said. \"Talked to a lot of the medical staff, a lot of these guys here. We decided this is the best decision moving forward.\"
