Scott (hip) is scheduled to throw a simulated game Monday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
The 27-year-old right-hander has been dealing with a hip impingement, but he's feeling much better after receiving a shot last week. A timeline for Scott's return to the rotation should come into focus after the sim game, but he could bypass a rehab assignment and potentially returning from the 15-day injured list as soon as this weekend. Through nine starts for the Mets this season, Scott has produced a 3.10 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 47:19 K:BB through 40.2 innings.
