Tanner Scott News
Miami Marlins closer Tanner Scott picked up his second save in two days on Sunday, closing out the Chicago Cubs in a 6-3 win. Scott has gotten his season back on track in the past week, picking up three saves while allowing only two hits and two walks. Another big indicator that Scott might be returning to form is that he hasn't walked a batter in his last two appearances after walking an astronomical 12 batters in his first eight appearances. Fantasy managers should be encouraged by the results and have a little more confidence in Scott when determining lineups for next week.
Miami Marlins closer Tanner Scott picked up his third save of the season in Saturday's 3-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Scott gave up two singles to start the ninth but then retired the next three batter to avoid damage and seal the win without giving up a run. The 29-year-old hasn't gotten many opportunities for closes this season with the Marlins reeling, but he is now three-for-four in close situations and has a 3.72 ERA. Scott will look to pick up at least one more save this weekend with game two of the Saturday doubleheader happening tonight and the series finale against the Cubs happening on Sunday.
Miami Marlins closer Tanner Scott picked up his second save of the season in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Giants. Scott came in to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by three. He got the first out on a flyout, allowed back-to-back walks, and got the final two outs on a strikeout and a pop-out. Things haven't gone smoothly for the 29-year-old, as he is 0-3 and has converted two of three save opportunities with a 4.15 ERA, an 8.31 K/9 rate, and a huge 12.46 BB/9 rate. Scott ended the 2023 season to earn the closer's role to start 2024, but walks have been an issue throughout his career. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out to see if he can get them back under control.

Miami Marlins closer Tanner Scott had an excellent 2023 season and ended up as the team's closer. The 29-year-old went 9-5 on the season, converting 12 of 16 save opportunities with a 2.31 ERA, a 0.99 WHIP, and a 33.9% strikeout rate in 78 innings pitched. Scott's lively fastball and devastating slider have always led to impressive strikeout numbers, but walks have historically been his issue. However, he was able to wrangle them in, posting a career-low 7.8% walk rate compared to a 12.7% career average. He also did an excellent job limiting hard contact for the second consecutive season. Scott is currently being drafted at about pick 120 overall, making him the 17th closer off the board. Perhaps there are questions about job security, but the job seems to be Scott's going into 2024 based on how manager Skip Schumaker handled games to end 2023. Scott offers some of the best strikeout upside among closers, which makes his current ADP surprisingly low. If he can produce like he did in 2023 throughout a full season, he will end up being a draft steal.
