Outlook Christian Scott
Mets Young Arm Slots into Rotation as Highly Anticipated Rookie
Christian Scott returns to the major leagues as a highly anticipated member of the New York rotation, slotting in as the number two starter behind Freddy Peralta. Following a lengthy layoff and successful recovery from Tommy John surgery, the 27-year-old righty has the opportunity to lock down a permanent role with teammate Kodai Senga currently sidelined on the injured list. Scott's prospect pedigree and premium velocity make him one of the more intriguing young arms in the National League.
Our season projection expects Scott to log 42.0 innings, offering a 4.29 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP with an impressive 110 strikeouts. This projected strikeout-to-inning ratio highlights his elite bat-missing capability, building on his 10.88 K/9 rate across his early career sample size. While the ratios might suggest some back-end starter volatility, his ability to dominate opposing lineups and miss bats gives him a reliable baseline in strikeout categories, even if his walk rate occasionally fluctuates as he refines his command.
For fantasy managers, Scott represents a high-upside investment who could quickly outperform his conservative projection. While there is inherent risk with any pitcher navigating their post-surgery workload, his raw stuff and guaranteed rotation depth spot make him a must-roster asset in most standard formats. Draft him as a high-upside bench option who has the ceiling to quickly develop into a solid, strikeout-heavy mid-rotation force.

Outlook Eury Perez
Eury Pérez sidelined until after the All-Star Break with severe groin strain
The fourth-place Marlins (33-35) suffered a major blow when Pérez was sidelined with a right groin strain. Before the injury, he was in excellent form, registering a 3.84 ERA and a stellar 0.95 WHIP with 27 strikeouts across 21.1 innings over his last 30 days. He is currently off the active roster while recovering.
Pérez's recent success aligns closely with our rest-of-season projection of a 3.91 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP. His high-strikeout ability remains elite, proving that his dominant run was no fluke. Fantasy managers should remain patient, as his immense upside makes him a premier stash candidate.
While Miami takes on Arizona and Pittsburgh this week, Pérez will remain out as he begins an extended rehabilitation process. Our models project zero active stats for him until his anticipated return in late July. He is an obvious sit this week, but must be held on your injured list.
