Mets put starter Christian Scott on IL and activate reliever Devin Williams for final few games
Devin Williams returns after a right shoulder strain, while the Mets say Christian Scott’s left knee inflammation ends his season.
- On Tuesday, the New York Mets reinstated two-time All-Star closer Devin Williams from the 15-day injured list while placing starter Christian Scott on the injured list, ending Scott's season due to left knee inflammation.
- Williams, who signed a three-year, $51 million contract this offseason, missed time since early August with a right shoulder strain; he has 16 saves in 42 appearances during his first season with the Mets.
- Manager Andy Green reported Scott suffered the injury while warming up Saturday, noting knee swelling. The right-hander finished his season with a 3.85 ERA across 23 starts and 111 innings.
- Addressing Williams' return, Green said, "I think long term we know what role he will slide back into, but for these outings I don't think we're overly concerned about that." The team hopes to use him before season's end.
- Kodai Senga has been closing games in Williams' absence, filling a role created when incumbent closer Edwin Diaz left New York for the Los Angeles Dodgers on a $69 million deal.
