The New York Mets have reinstated right-handed pitcher Christian Scott from the 15-day injured list, bringing him back just in time to take the mound against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday.
The 27-year-old Scott had been out of action since June 11, when a right hip impingement forced him to the sidelines.
To clear a spot on the active roster, left-hander Zach Thornton was sent down to Triple-A Syracuse late Friday night.
Through nine starts this season, Scott has put together a strong 2-0 record with a 3.10 ERA — a notable improvement over his rookie campaign in 2024, when he went 0-3 with a 4.56 ERA across nine appearances. He missed all of 2025 recovering from Tommy John surgery.
Thornton, 24, made his big league debut on May 20 and finished with a 0-1 record and a 4.35 ERA over two starts before being optioned back down.
