Washington Nationals vs. New York Mets - News - April 28, 2026

Christian Scott - Rejoining big club The Mets recalled Scott from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

Impact The right-hander was called up for his season debut last week and was returned to Syracuse after giving up one run on no hits and five walks over 1.1 innings, but he'll make a quick return to the majors with Kodai Senga (back) heading to the injured list. Scott should now get a longer look in the rotation, which was the initial plan before his abbreviated outing forced the Mets to shuffle their bullpen pieces.

Kodai Senga - Lands on injured list The Mets placed Senga on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to April 27, due to lumbar spine inflammation.

Impact The right-hander has begun the season 0-4 with a 9.00 ERA through his first five starts, and he lasted just 2.2 frames during his last outing Sunday versus Colorado. It's unclear how long Senga has been dealing with the injury, but he'll be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks. Once healthy, the Mets are likely to send Senga on what could be a lengthy rehab assignment to try and get him back on track. Christian Scott is poised to claim the open rotation spot after recalled from Triple-A Syracuse.
