Christian Scott - Nearing throwing programManager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Scott (elbow) will likely be cleared to begin a throwing program withing the next several days, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

ImpactScott was expected to be shut down from throwing for two weeks once he landed on the injured list July 23 with a UCL sprain in his right elbow, so Mendoza's comments suggest that the 25-year-old remains on schedule in his recovery. A clear return timeline for the right-hander likely won't emerge until his throwing program ramps up, though a best-case scenario probably wouldn't see him rejoin the Mets' rotation until September.

ImpactSiani has been able to do some light running and lifting since his strained right oblique sent him to the injured list Sunday, though he remains without an official return timeline. Victor Scott will likely see the bulk of center field reps while Siani is out.

Mark Vientos - Back in lineupVientos (ankle) will start at third base and bat fifth Tuesday against the Rockies.

ImpactVientos fouled a ball off his right ankle Sunday and was forced to sit out Monday's contest as a result, but it no longer seems to be an issue heading into Tuesday.
