Mets Call Up Scott, Shift Peterson

0:00On April 22nd, the New York Mets are deep in an 11-game losing streak, getting swept in their last three-series straight. They're desperate for a win when they host the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night. To shake things up, they're calling up pitcher Christian Scott from the minors and shifting David Peterson to the bullpen. Peterson was supposed to lock down a spot in the starting rotation this year after starting the past two seasons. But like the rest of the team's rough first month, his results haven't clicked, sitting at a 5.4-0 ERA. Fans and the front office had high hopes for Peterson as a steady arm, especially after he moved out of relief roles early in his Met's career. This skid has everyone questioning the whole pitching staff's mojo. Scott's a 26-year-old right-hander, last seen in the majors back in 2024, where he posted a 4.56 ERA over nine. He starts. He missed time with Tomajon's surgery, but has a 5.23 ERA in three minor league outings this season.
