The New York Mets are making strategic changes to their pitching lineup as they aim to strengthen their bullpen for a potential postseason run. Christian Scott will return from Triple-A Syracuse to start on Wednesday against the Nationals, confirmed by Mets manager Carlos Mendoza. This marks Scott's second return from the minors this season. Additionally, the Mets are considering adding Jose Butto to the bullpen in a multi-inning role to keep him prepared for potential starting duties. The team acknowledges the need to improve their bullpen to support their strong lineup and rotation, with 11 potential trade candidates being evaluated for their closing capabilities. Kodai Senga is also set to begin a rehab assignment. The Mets recently struggled to maintain a six-run lead, highlighting the urgency for bullpen improvements.

Mets barely hang on to six-run lead but the front office can't sit back and watch this bullpen continue to fail. I'd bring up Butto immediately and make him a multi-inning reliever. Gotta try something and he's probably the best option. Pitched well Friday for Syracuse.

Christian Scott to start Wednesday versus Nats https://t.co/xWcrEwbN9I
It will be Christian Scott for Wednesday’s start. Mets officials are discussing the possibility of Jose Butto for the bullpen - in a multi-inning role so he can stay somewhat stretched out if needed for starting duty.
Christian Scott makes his return to the Mets after his 2nd stint in AAA this season Glad to see him back! https://t.co/JJRK3zF9iu https://t.co/YXArOx9tjH
Christian Scott will return from the minors to start Wednesday, Carlos Mendoza confirms.
Mike Vasil has leapfrogged Christian Scott in the Triple-A Syracuse rotation, starting tonight in what would normally be Scott's spot. Seems like a pretty good indication that we'll see Scott this week. The Mets have a TBA in their rotation on Wednesday.
https://t.co/34wufYbThJ. Mets have a deep lineup and rotation but need help in their pen. Fortunately they have a sharp new NY man in charge and there are 11 (listed here) potential trade candidates w/closing capabilities. Yes, 11!
https://t.co/34wufYblsb. The Mets have real strengths but if they hope to fulfill their October goal they’ll need to improve the pen (here’s 11 back-end relievers who’d help and may be traded)
What is the Mets situation ?
