Mets End Christian Scott’s Season and Activate Devin Williams

The club prioritized player health by placing Scott on the injured list and limiting Williams to scripted late‑season outings as it closes the year.

Overview

  • Christian Scott was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday for left knee inflammation, a move that effectively ends his 2026 season.
  • The Mets have scheduled an MRI for Scott next week and manager Andy Green said the team does not expect long-term problems from the knee injury.
  • Devin Williams was activated from the 15-day injured list after missing about six weeks with right shoulder inflammation and the team plans to use him sparingly, roughly twice in the final six games.
  • Kodai Senga has taken over most late-inning duties in Williams’ absence and has converted eight of nine save chances while the club scripts Williams’ return.
  • Scott returned from Tommy John surgery on April 23 and finished with a 3.85 ERA and 134 strikeouts in 23 starts, and Williams is 3-2 with a 4.66 ERA and 16 saves this season after signing a three-year, $51 million deal in December 2025.
