Mets acting general manager Zack Scott has been placed on administrative leave two days after he was arrested on a DWI charge in New York, the team announced Thursday.
Scott will be on leave "until further notice," the Mets said, adding that team president Sandy Alderson will assume the general manager responsibilities.
The 44-year-old Scott was arrested at around 4:15 a.m. Tuesday in suburban White Plains, New York, after police allegedly found him asleep at the wheel of his SUV at a traffic light and determined he was intoxicated. Police Capt. James Spencer said Scott refused a breathalyzer test.
