• Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Spring debut coming this week

  Rotowire Feb 23, 2026

  Scott (lower body) is expected to make his first Cactus League appearance Wednesday versus the Diamondbacks or Thursday versus the White Sox, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports. Scott was one of the Dodgers' most trusted high-leverage relievers during the 2025 regular season, notching 23 saves in 33 chances and eight holds while posting a 4.74 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in 57 innings. However, Scott didn't end up pitching at all during the Dodgers' postseason run, as he went unused in the NLDS and then was deactivated for the NLCS and World Series after requiring a lower-body abscess procedure in early October. Though Scott is now back to full health, he's unlikely to be in line for many save chances in 2026 after the Dodgers inked three-time All-Star Edwin Diaz to a three-year, $69 million deal over the winter.

• Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Left off World Series roster

  Rotowire Oct 24, 2025

  Scott (lower body) is not on the Dodgers' World Series roster. Scott underwent a lower-body abscess procedure earlier this month and has not made an appearance this postseason. The reliever had resumed throwing and was hoping to be added to the roster for the Fall Classic, but the Dodgers have decided against it.

• Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Wasn't available Wednesday

  Rotowire Oct 9, 2025

  Manager Dave Roberts said after Wednesday's loss against Philadelphia in Game 3 of the NLDS that Scott wasn't available due to personal reasons, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Roberts didn't provide any details on when Scott may return, so it seems the Dodgers' bullpen will have to work around being slightly shorthanded for the time being. The 31-year-old lefty gave up six earned runs over 8.1 innings across the final month of the regular season and has yet to appear in a game this postseason.

• Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Notches 23rd save

  Rotowire Sep 27, 2025

  Scott gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his 23rd save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Mariners. He struck out two. The left-hander has looked a little more stable over the last couple weeks, giving up runs in only one of his last seven appearances. Scott has still blown three of seven save chances since returning from elbow inflammation in late August, however, stumbling to a 7.15 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB in 11.1 innings over that span. The Dodgers have plenty of other high-leverage relief options if those struggles resurface in the playoffs, including Roki Sasaki, who struck out two in a scoreless seventh inning Friday to collect his second hold and topped out at 100.1 mph with his fastball.

• Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Blows save Tuesday

  Rotowire Sep 24, 2025

  Scott (1-4) allowed two runs on a hit, a walk and a hit batsman over two-thirds of an inning, taking a blown save and the loss Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks. Scott was tasked with protecting a one-run lead in the ninth inning and couldn't get the job done. He entered Tuesday with a four-inning scoreless streak, but much of that had come in lower-leverage spots after his struggles in late August and early September. Over his last 10 outings, the southpaw has allowed nine runs with a 7:6 K:BB in 7.1 innings while converting just two of five save chances. He's now at a 4.91 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 57:17 K:BB across 55 innings while converting 22 of 32 save opportunities. Manager Dave Roberts hasn't made a change at the back of his bullpen yet, but if Scott is removed from the closer role, Alex Vesia could get more save chances.

• Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Nabs 22nd save

  Rotowire Sep 20, 2025

  Scott allowed a hit and a walk while striking out two over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 6-3 win over the Giants. Scott has posted four straight scoreless outings to follow a five-outing stretch in which he gave up seven runs across 2.2 innings. This was his first save since Sept. 8 -- Alex Vesia converted one Thursday, but the Dodgers haven't been in many close games over the last two weeks. Overall, Scott is now 22-for-31 in save chances this year while adding eight holds with a 4.64 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 57:16 K:BB through 54.1 innings. He needs one more save over the Dodgers' last eight games to set a career high.

• Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Charged with blown save Saturday

  Rotowire Sep 6, 2025

  Scott blew the save in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Orioles, allowing two inherited runners to score on one hit without recording an out in the ninth inning. While Blake Treinen was ultimately charged with three runs and the loss, Scott gave up a walk-off double to the only batter he faced. After looking sharp in his first two outings back from an elbow injury that sidelined him for a month, the southpaw has now blown a save or taken a loss in three straight appearances. He's converted 20 of 29 save chances this season while posting a 4.56 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 52:12 K:BB across 49.1 innings.

• Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Another late stumble

  Rotowire Sep 6, 2025

  Scott (1-3) took the loss Friday, serving up a walk-off solo home run to Samuel Basallo in the ninth inning of a 2-1 loss to the Orioles. The southpaw was brought in to get the game to extra innings, but after striking out Emmanuel Rivera and Dylan Beavers, Scott grooved a 98.7 mph fastball to Baltimore's young phenom and watched it sail 433 feet over the fence in right-center field. Scott has been treated like the Dodgers' closer since returning from elbow inflammation in late August, but in four appearances he's been tagged for two homers and four runs total over 3.2 innings, blowing one of two save chances in addition to taking the loss Friday. The team has plenty of other high-leverage options to handle ninth-inning duties if Scott continues to struggle.

• Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Takes blown save Sunday

  Rotowire Aug 31, 2025

  Scott allowed three runs on three hits and a walk over one inning, taking a blown save in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks. This wasn't shaping up as a traditional save chance for Scott, as he was brought in for a high-leverage spot in the eighth inning. He wasn't up to the task, allowing a three-run home run to Corbin Carroll that tied the game at 4-4. This was Scott's eighth blown save of the year and his first in three outings since returning from a month-long absence due to an elbow issue. The lefty reliever is 20-for-28 in save chances with a 4.44 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 50:12 K:BB across 48.2 innings this season.

• Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Reaches 20-save mark

  Rotowire Aug 27, 2025

  Scott allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Reds. This was Scott's second appearance since returning from left elbow inflammation that landed him on the injured list in late July. The southpaw has reclaimed his closing role, though Kirby Yates has also recently returned from a back injury and could mix in for save chances if the Dodgers want to limit Scott's workload. For the season, Scott has collected 20 saves, eight holds and seven blown saves while adding a 3.97 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 50:11 K:BB over 47.2 innings.

• Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Officially activated

  Rotowire Aug 22, 2025

  The Dodgers reinstated Scott (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Friday. Scott will rejoin the active roster after a month-long stint on the IL with left elbow inflammation, pushing Matt Sauer back to Triple-A. Scott has converted on 19 of 26 save chances this season. He figures to step right back into his closing role.

• Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Cleared for rehab assignment

  Rotowire Aug 18, 2025

  Scott (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, MLB.com reports. Scott is ready to test himself in a game environment after he cleared a major hurdle in his recovery from left elbow inflammation by throwing a simulated inning against live hitters Friday. Given that Scott has been on the injured list since July 22, he may need more than one rehab appearance before being activated, but his stint on the farm shouldn't be a lengthy one. Scott leads the Dodgers with 19 saves on the season and could step back in as the team's primary ninth-inning option upon his return, as no pitcher has run away with the closing job since the left-hander landed on the IL.

• Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Faces hitters Friday

  Rotowire Aug 15, 2025

  Scott (elbow) threw a 22-pitch simulated inning Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Scott has been throwing off a mound since Aug. 6, though Friday marks the first time he's done so against live hitters. The Dodgers may still look to get him a few tune-up outings in the minors before activating him from the injured list, but a late-August return is still on the table.

• Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Resumes throwing

  Rotowire Jul 29, 2025

  Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Scott (elbow) has begun a throwing progression, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Scott still has several hurdles to clear before he can come off the injured list, but his return to throwing is a positive sign nonetheless. The 31-year-old reliever landed on the IL last Tuesday with elbow inflammation and remains without a clear return timeline, though he's still expected back in the Dodgers' bullpen before the end of the year.

• Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Officially placed on IL

  Rotowire Jul 22, 2025

  The Dodgers placed Scott on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with left elbow inflammation. The fact that the team is labeling Scott's injury as "inflammation" suggests the southpaw didn't suffer any structural damage during his outing Monday, but it will still cause him to remain out until at least early August. Alexis Diaz will come up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill the open spot in Los Angeles' bullpen, and closing duties will likely be handed to Kirby Yates or Alex Vesia going forward.

• Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Leaves with trainer

  Rotowire Jul 22, 2025

  Scott left Monday's game against the Twins due to an undisclosed injury, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. The nature of Scott's injury is unclear at this time, though he was in obvious discomfort after firing his 22nd pitch of the night. He stated after the game that he felt a "sting" in his forearm, and the team will send him for an MRI on Tuesday, per Ardaya. Kirby Yates would likely be in line for save chances if Scott is looking at an IL stint, and Blake Treinen (forearm), who is nearing the end of a rehab assignment, could also get saves once he's activated.

• Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Battles hard for save

  Rotowire Jun 28, 2025

  Scott picked up the save, working a scoreless ninth while allowing two hits, walking one and striking out one during Friday's 5-4 win over the Royals. Scott made it 18 saves on the season, but things got dicey on the way there. The left-hander loaded the bases with one out, but he induced a game-ending double play to clinch the win. The 30-year-old has converted eight straight save opportunities, though he has allowed five hits and two walks while striking out only two over his last four appearances spanning 4.1 innings.

• Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Picks up 17th save

  Rotowire Jun 26, 2025

  Scott walked one and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Rockies. Scott has six saves and two holds over his last eight appearances, a span in which he's allowed two runs (one earned) over 8.1 innings. The walk he issued Thursday was just the fifth he's permitted all season, but he was able to erase the mistake with a game-ending double play. Scott is at a 3.55 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 41 strikeouts over 38 innings while adding 17 saves, seven holds and five blown saves while working as Los Angeles' main closing option.

• Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Allows homer in save

  Rotowire Jun 21, 2025

  Scott allowed a run on one hit over one inning to earn the save in Friday's 6-5 win over the Nationals. Scott had to face the top of the Nationals' order and gave up a solo home run to CJ Abrams, but he was able to preserve the lead after that. This was the first earned run Scott had given up since June 2 versus the Mets, and it was the first time he's allowed a baserunner since June 9 in San Diego. The left-handed reliever is up to 15 saves this year while adding seven holds and five blown saves. He's maintained a 3.79 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 40:4 K:BB over 35.2 innings as the head of the Dodgers' closing committee.

• Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Clean inning for 14th save

  Rotowire Jun 18, 2025

  Scott struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Padres. Scott was called upon in the ninth inning to face the heart of the Padres' order. He closed out the game with 13 pitches (nine strikes) while pitching for the third day in a row. This was his fourth straight perfect inning, a span in which he's racked up six strikeouts, two saves and two holds. Scott has a 3.63 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 40:4 K:BB, 14 saves and seven holds across 34.2 innings this season. He remains the Dodgers' top high-leverage reliever, though that has occasionally cost him some chances at saves since the team has plenty of trustworthy late-inning arms. Scott likely won't pitch Wednesday given his recent workload, so look for Kirby Yates or Alex Vesia to be closing options should a save situation arise in that game.
