The New York Mets lost another starting pitcher Monday, placing right-hander Christian Scott on the injured list with a hip injury.

The move was reported by ESPN, which also noted the team will get some relief in the rotation. Kodai Senga is due to return Tuesday for New York's game against the Cincinnati Reds.

Scott becomes the latest Mets starter to land on the IL this season. The hip injury adds to what has been an ongoing rotation challenge for New York.

Senga's return provides some relief. The Japanese right-hander has dealt with his own injury history with the Mets, and his availability for Tuesday gives the team a boost heading into the series against Cincinnati.
