Mets' Christian Scott and Francisco Lindor advance in rehab, nearing return

Pitcher Christian Scott threw a clean bullpen session, indicating he is on track to be activated around his eligibility date next Saturday after serving the required 15 days on the injured list for a right‑hip impingement. Scott, who posted a 3.10 ERA over nine starts, could face live batting practice before returning to the major‑league roster.

Shortstop Francisco Lindor moved his rehab assignment from Double‑A Binghamton to Triple‑A Syracuse and is slated to play there on Sunday. The Mets will evaluate his performance in Syracuse before deciding on a possible MLB activation. Both players' progress is viewed as a positive shift in the Mets' injury situation.
