Scott pitched a scoreless eighth inning in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Brewers.
Scott continues to be an effective reliever and is the one left-hander out of the bullpen in which manager John Farrell has utmost faith. The former independent-league hurler has made six straight scoreless appearances and has allowed just one earned run in 8.2 innings in 2017. Farrell spots him mostly for situational work as 10 of his 15 appearances have lasted fewer than three outs, but he's usually brought out for high-leverage situations. If the Red Sox need a lefty to close out a save situation, it would be Scott.
