NEW YORK -- The New York Mets placed rookie right-hander Christian Scott on the injured list with a right UCL sprain Tuesday, a major blow to a club battling for a National League Wild Card spot.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Scott reported elbow discomfort to pitching coach Jeremy Hefner after he logged four innings Sunday against the Miami Marlins. He woke up with more soreness Monday and underwent an MRI at noon Tuesday. Mendoza said "multiple people" will examine the imaging before the club decides the next step for Scott. He did not rule out surgery as a possibility.
