Christian Scott: Everything you need to know

Scott (1-0) earned the win against the Marlins on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks with eight strikeouts over five innings. Scott opened with four scoreless frames before allowing a run in the fifth, generating 11 swinging strikes on a season-high 96 pitches. Though he's struggled to work deep into games, the 26-year-old has yielded three earned runs or fewer in each of his seven starts this season while recording at least five strikeouts in six of them. He'll carry a 2.97 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 38:16 K:BB across 30.1 innings into a road matchup against the Padres next weekend.

Scott took a no-decision Sunday against the Marlins, allowing no runs on four hits and two walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out five. Scott delivered arguably his best effort of the campaign so far, turning in his first scoreless start while completing a season-best 5.2 frames. Control has perhaps been the 26-year-old right-hander's biggest impediment in 2026, as the hurler has hit at least one batter and also walked multiple hitters in four of his first five outings. Scott, who owns a 3.20 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 30:14 K:BB across 25.1 innings, has still performed well enough overall to this point to warrant streaming consideration in deeper leagues for next weekend's scheduled rematch at home versus Miami.

Scott didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Nationals, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five across four innings. Scott has yet to pitch past the fifth inning in any of his five big-league starts this season, and his inability to go deep into games limits his fantasy stock. The 26-year-old righty's done a good job of limiting the damage though, as he's allowed two or fewer earned runs in four of those five outings. Scott will carry a 4.12 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB across 19.2 innings into his next start, which is scheduled for this weekend's road series against the Marlins.
