Before catching on with Arizona, Scott had opened the season in Houston's bullpen. He posted a 5.40 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 16:12 K:BB in 16.2 innings before the Astros removed him from their 40-man roster in mid-May.

Becomes free agent Scott elected free agency Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Scott cleared waivers after the Astros designated him for assignment last week, but he'll choose to explore his options elsewhere rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Sugar Land. Before he was removed from the Astros' 40-man roster, Scott made 17 appearances out of the big-league bullpen and turned in a 5.40 ERA and 1.68 WHIP across 16.2 innings.

Booted from 40-man roster The Astros designated Scott for assignment Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Scott has struggled in 2025 to replicate his success from last season, posting a 5.40 ERA and 16:12 K:BB over 16.2 frames. He had a 2.23 ERA and 71:35 K:BB across 68.2 innings in 2024, so Scott could draw interest via trade or waivers.

Plays catch Tuesday Scott (back) played catch in the outfield at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Scott just landed on the 15-day injured list over the weekend with a thoracic spine strain, so it's a good sign that he's already throwing again. He will not be eligible to return before the end of the regular season, but the Astros are hoping to have him available as an option at some point during the playoffs.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Shelved with spine injury The Astros placed Scott on the 15-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to Sept. 18, due to a thoracic spine strain.

Impact Scott has been uncharacteristically bad during September, logging a 6.35 ERA and a 4:5 K:BB across 5.2 innings. However, the poor performance could be attributed to the spine injury. Scott won't be eligible for activation until Oct. 3, ending his regular season, but he could return for the playoffs. Seth Martinez was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move.
