Mets Call Up Scott, Shake Up Rotation

0:00It's April 21st, New York meds news today, starts now, AI powered and ready for kickoff. The meds are in the middle of their worst losing streak in decades, so they're shaking up the starting rotation big time. They're calling up 26-year-old Christian Scott to join the five-man group, with him taking the bump Thursday against the twins. That means Cody Sanga slides back a spot, and David Peterson heads to the bullpen for flexible relief word based on how games play out. Here this week, they laid out the near-term schedule, including Nolan McLean on Tuesday versus the twins. Clay Holmes on Wednesday, Scott on Thursday, then Freddie Peralta, Friday against the Rockies, Sanga Saturday, and McLean again Sunday. For now, they're locked into that five-man setup, keeping both Peterson and Sean Manay already in the pin. Scott's a former top pitching prospect for the meds, still technically a rookie after posting a 4.56 ERA, over nine starts last year. He missed Tom with a UCO injury that needed Tommy John's surgery, but he came back strong

1:04this spring, racking up 12 strikeouts over 10 and a. Third innings and minor league tune-ups while touching mid-90s heat. Manager Carlos Mendoza praised Scott's competitor fire, saying the timing feels right after a careful build-up. On Peterson, he hinted the lefty could return to starting soon, depending on performance and health across the staff, but nothing's locked in. It's all fluid as they manage a deep, but tested group of arms, aiming to steady the ship without overhauling everything just yet.
