NEW YORK -- Mets rookie right-hander Christian Scott is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery next week and is expected to miss the entire 2025 season.

Scott hasn't pitched since July 21 due to a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow but hoped to return this month to the Mets, who entered Wednesday night two games ahead of Atlanta for the last National League playoff spot.

"I think it's safe to say that he's done for next year," New York manager Carlos Mendoza said. "That's why we waited. He gave it a try because if this was the decision, we knew he was going to be done anyway.
