Scott is a little bit of a surprise. (And so is Baty, for that matter.)
Is Butto coming back?

He is expected to return to the big leagues soon, as the stint in the minor leagues aligns with an upcoming stretch in which the Mets have extra days off due to their games in London and also helps keep Scott's season-long innings total in check.
Sounds like he'd be back soon. But no London trip for him.

The Mets have Thursday and Friday off for the London series as well as the following Monday. Scott could have pitched Tuesday in WSH but I guess they have other ideas. Perhaps he will pitch the first game back (June 11).
They lose the big stipend for the trip. I've read that the LAD and SD players got about $70,000 (maybe more) for the South Korea trip.

So much for Alonso being Wally Pipped.

It’s not that much. Per the MLBPA basic agreement, it’s a $70k lump sum to the team as extra compensation, to be split among players and non-executive personnel (managers, coaches, trainers, clubhouse staff).

Both moves make sense for different reasons.
The Mets had no backup middle infielder for awhile. I was fine with that strategy, but Baty did nothing to show he belonged here at all, do now it is time to give Vientos his shot instead.
Scott didn't deserve to go down, but the team needs another reliever right now and he fell victim to the "has options" game. He will be back soon!

Mets also slated to face four LHPs in the next six games (starting tonight) so that's a reason for Baty getting a AAA Vacay too.
