Scott (elbow) threw all of his pitches off the slope of the mound Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Scott is hoping to be able to throw his full repertoire in a bullpen session soon. The young right-hander remains confident he'll be able to return from his right UCL sprain before the end of the season, but he's still got some ramping up to do and doesn't have a lot of time. Scott has been sidelined since late July.

Scott (elbow) threw off a mound Friday, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.
Scott was limited to his fastball and changeup Friday, but he is expected to use his full arsenal the next time he throws off a mound. He has been on the injured list since July 23 due to a UCL sprain in his right elbow. Prior to the injury, Scott went 0-3 over nine starts with a 4.56 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 39:12 K:BB across 47.1 innings.
Scott (elbow) could begin throwing off a mound soon, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
The right-hander has been playing catch for over a week now, and he's closing in on the next step in his recovery from a sprained UCL. Scott hasn't pitched in a game since July 21, but the Mets could use the boost to their rotation as they push for a playoff spot. A timeline for his activation from the IL could come into focus once he gets back on a mound.
Scott (elbow) played catch Monday and Tuesday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.
It's the first bit of throwing he's done since he was diagnosed with a sprained UCL in his right elbow in late July. Scott threw 35 fastballs from 75 feet Tuesday and will progress to 90 feet in his next throwing session. There's no timetable for the rookie right-hander's return, but it will take multiple weeks for him to become game-ready.
Manager 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.
Scott 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.
