From Rotoworld:
The good news is that a sprain is not as catastrophic as a tear (assuming that's all this is), but even a relatively mild sprain could end his season at this point.Mets placed RHP Christian Scott on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow UCL sprain. Not great. The severity of the issue is a bit unclear at the moment since the Mets are still waiting for doctors to review his MRI results. However, it certainly appears likely that Scott is facing an extended absence, even if it’s merely a sprain and not a complete tear. The 25-year-old rookie right-hander, who holds a pedestrian 4.56 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 39/12 K/BB ratio across 47 1/3 innings (nine starts) this season in his first taste of the majors, is universally-regarded as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball, so it’s a big loss for New York. There should be some clarity on his status soon, but fantasy managers should prepare for the possibility that his season is over.
