Christian Scott - Close to mound work Scott (elbow) could begin throwing off a mound soon, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
Impact The right-hander has been playing catch for over a week now, and he's closing in on the next step in his recovery from a sprained UCL. Scott hasn't pitched in a game since July 21, but the Mets could use the boost to their rotation as they push for a playoff spot. A timeline for his activation from the IL could come into focus once he gets back on a mound.

Jose Quintana - Scoreless outing Sunday Quintana did not factor into the decision but fired 6.1 scoreless innings in Sunday's loss to the Padres. He allowed four hits and two walks and didn't strike out a batter.
Impact Though he didn't strike anyone out, Quintana had his first quality start since July 29 and first scoreless outing since July 9. Quintana worked 13 ground ball outs and allowed just one extra-base hit. The left-hander had an 8.27 ERA over his last four starts but has now lowered his season ERA to a 4.36 to go with a 1.30 WHIP and 106:54 K:BB in 140.1 innings.

Edwin Díaz - Takes loss Sunday Diaz (5-2) took the loss Sunday against the Padres, allowing one run on one hit while striking out a batter for the only out he recorded.
Impact Diaz came into the bottom of ninth trying to send the game to extra innings with the score tied 2-2. He struck out Jake Cronenworth to begin things, but Jackson Merrill connected on a slider and took it over the wall to walk it off for the Padres. It was Diaz's first loss since coming back from the injured list in June and the second run he's given up in 6.1 innings in August. He's only picked up one save in seven appearances this month mut does have an 11:1 K:BB over that span. For the year, Diaz owns a 3.62 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 54:13 K:BB in 37.1 innings to go along with 14 saves.

For the year, Martinez is slashing .251/.334/.440 with 15 homers, 62 RBI, 39 runs and a 41:118 BB:K in 407 plate appearances.

It's the third time in his last five games with multiple hits and he now leads all National League third basemen with 21 homers despite having just 332 plate appearances. Vientos has seen himself batting from the two-hole the last 10 games, and while he owns a .977 OPS over that span, he's also striking out 44.9 percent of the time compared to 24.7 percent before the lineup change. The 24-year-old is enjoying a breakout campaign, slashing .277/.334/.551 with 41 extra-base hits, 55 RBI, 44 runs and a 25:92 BB:K.

Brett Baty - Out with fractured finger Baty was diagnosed with a fractured left index finger Sunday and is expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks.
Impact Baty had .997 OPS in his last 12 games with Triple-A Syracuse and had a chance of rejoining the Mets down the stretch, but the injury will instead put him on the injured list for the foreseeable future. The 25-year-old hasn't been ruled out for the season, but any complications in his recovery would make a return this year difficult.

Tylor Megill - Could rejoin MLB rotation Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday that Megill is the favorite to claim the rotation spot of Paul Blackburn (hand), Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Impact Blackburn landed on the injured list Sunday due to a bruised hand, creating an opening for Megill to potentially rejoin the big-league rotation. Megill has spent the past few weeks at Triple-A Syracuse, where he has a 3.15 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 54:17 K:BB across 40 innings this year. The right-hander's 5.17 ERA in 10 MLB outings this season is less encouraging, however.
