Scott Shines, Thornton Goes Down

Christian Scott dazzles in his Mets debut, tossing four and a third innings with six strikeouts and just two runs allowed—except for that frustrating two-run homer off Bryce Harper. Despite the hiccup, Scott’s return is a bright spot for a struggling team. But the Mets’ roster moves don’t stop there: Zach Thornton, who just held the Phillies to one run, gets sent down to Triple-A to make room. At just 24, Thornton’s demotion stings—especially with top prospects still quiet—but the manager’s message is clear: dominate at every level. Meanwhile, Jorge Polanco’s rehab assignment continues as a DH, battling ankle soreness that could impact his contract year. With a bullpen game looming, the Mets are piecing together a staff with urgency—and no room for error. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
