Christian Scott DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Mets right-handed pitcher Christian Scott (elbow) is set to throw for the first time since his surgery on Monday. Scott underwent a hybrid elbow surgery that cut his season short. He is also not expected to pitch in any games during the 2025 campaign. Dynasty managers should continue to monitor his status as he will likely compete for a spot in the starting rotation leading up to the 2026 campaign. Last season, the Florida product opened the campaign by making his Triple-A debut and performed quite well as he held a strong 2.76 ERA and a stellar 0.97 WHIP. He tallied 55 punchouts and only served up 12 free passes across 42 1/3 innings of work. He then reached the majors where he posted a 4.56 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP across 47 1/3 innings. With Scott sidelined for the 2025 season, Brandon Sproat should be viewed as the top pitching prospect in the system and could be knocking on the MLB door early in the regular season.

New York Mets right-hander Christian Scott (elbow) said on Wednesday that he plans on starting to throw around a month from now. "Feel like my arm's in a good spot... I'll start throwing in about a month from now," Scott said. The 25-year-old had a hybrid Tommy John and internal-brace surgery on his right elbow last year but is almost five months removed from the procedure and should start ramping up in spring training. It's good to hear that he's progressing, but the full expectation is that Scott will miss all of the 2025 season, so he's off the fantasy radar in redraft leagues. The former fifth-round pick by the Mets in 2021 out of the University of Florida was inconsistent in his MLB debut in 2024 before being shut down, going 0-3 with a 4.56 ERA (4.60 FIP) and 1.20 WHIP with 39 strikeouts and 12 walks in 47 1/3 innings over his first nine starts.

New York Mets rookie starting pitcher Christian Scott (elbow) is set to undergo a hybrid operation that combines a traditional Tommy John ligament replacement with an internal-brace procedure, according to Nate Heisler of the MLBAPA. The 25-year-old was placed on the 15-day IL back in July due to a UCL sprain and was not ruled out of returning later this summer. Unfortunately, the Florida product will now be sidelined for an extended period, and potentially all of the 2025 season, depending on the recovery timeline. Scott opened the season at Triple-A and held a strong 2.76 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and a 12:55 BB:K ratio across 42 innings of work before moving up to the majors. In the big leagues, Scott struggled with a 4.56 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP. The right-hander remains one of the better young arms in the Mets system and should continue to be stashed in all dynasty formats.
