Tanner Scott Fantasy Stats

Both Los Angeles Dodgers left-handed relievers Tanner Scott (lower body) and Alex Vesia (personal) were not included on the team's World Series roster against the Toronto Blue Jays, according to the team. Scott has been unable to pitch at all during the postseason after having a lower-body abscess surgery at the beginning of October. Meanwhile, Vesia has been away from the team of late due to a personal issue and will not be available out of the bullpen for the Fall Classic. Scott has been dreadful for the Dodgers at the back end of their bullpen all year, so he might have been left off the World Series roster even if he was fully healthy. Vesia won't be eligible to join the Dodgers' roster for the World Series at a later date because he will not go on the family medical emergency list. Vesia's absence is notable, as he has been a trusted lefty arm out of the bullpen in high-leverage situations for the Dodgers this year, recording five saves while posting a 3.02 ERA in 68 regular-season relief appearances.

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Tanner Scott (lower body) has resumed playing catch as the team celebrated clinching its World Series berth with a series sweep over the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Championship Series. Scott has been sidelined since September 26 after undergoing a procedure to treat a lower-body abscess. The Dodgers remain hopeful the 31-year-old reliever can return in some capacity for the World Series, depending on how manager Dave Roberts chooses to deploy him. Scott had an up-and-down regular season in Los Angeles, posting a 4.47 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. He'll look to contribute meaningful innings as the Dodgers aim for back-to-back championships.

Los Angeles Dodgers left-handed reliever Tanner Scott (lower body) was removed from the team's roster during the National League Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies after having a lower-body abscess procedure, according to manager Dave Roberts. Scott, who had not appeared out of L.A.'s bullpen at all during the postseason, will be replaced on the roster by Justin Wrobleski. Roberts did not rule out Scott's availability if the Dodgers advance to a second straight World Series. Given Scott's struggles at the back end of the bullpen in his first year with the team in 2025, it's probably unlikely that he 31-year-old southpaw would be back on the World Series roster if they advance. Scott went 1-4 during the regular season with an elevated 4.74 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 23 saves, and 60 K's in 57 innings. Rookie right-hander Roki Sasaki saved the first two wins in the series against Philly and is now the favorite for saves the rest of the playoffs.

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Tanner Scott was not able to finish a no-hit bid but did pick up his 21st save of the season in Monday's 3-1 win over the Rockies. Scott came in to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by two. He allowed a leadoff double to break up the no-hitter, but got a line-out, a ground-out, and another line-out to end the game. The 31-year-old has been inconsistent for the Dodgers and fantasy managers lately, converting two of his four save opportunities with a 9.82 ERA in the last 15 days. Overall, he has converted 21 of 30 save opportunities with a 4.47 ERA, a 1.21 WHIP, and a 9.30 K/9 rate in 50 1/3 innings of work. The Dodgers have also been scuffling as a team, so fantasy managers may consider looking for bullpen reinforcements for the final few weeks of the season.

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Tanner Scott fell to 1-3 on the season in a 2-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. The left-hander entered a 1-1 game in the bottom of the ninth inning and struck out the first two hitters he faced before yielding a 433-foot walk-off home run to catcher Samuel Basallo. It was Scott's first appearance since last Sunday, when he allowed three earned runs in one inning and picked up a blown save in a win over Arizona. Poor outings have been a surprisingly frequent occurrence this season for Scott, who was a lights-out reliever with Miami and San Diego from 2023-24. In his first season with the Dodgers, the 31-year-old has blown eight of 28 save chances and posted a 4.56 ERA, a 1.20 WHIP, and 52:12 K:BB in 49 1/3 innings. Scott has already given up 10 homers this year after surrendering a combined 11 in 213 1/3 frames over the previous three seasons.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Tanner Scott (elbow) was activated off the 15-day injured list ahead of Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. Scott returns to the mix after missing the last month of the season due to left elbow inflammation. Before landing on the shelf, Scott posted a 4.14 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and a 50/11 K/BB ratio with 19 saves. The Dodgers have been using a committee approach in the ninth inning while Scott was sidelined. Now, Scott should move right back into the closer role. In a corresponding move, right-hander Matt Sauer has been optioned to Triple-A. Scott should be rostered in most fantasy formats where saves matter.

Los Angeles Dodgers relievers Tanner Scott (elbow) and Kirby Yates (back) each threw an inning during their rehab stints at Triple-A on Tuesday and could already be on the verge of returning to the majors. Asked if Scott or Yates would make another rehab appearance, manager Dave Roberts said, "probably not." That could set the pair up to return from the 15-day injured list during this weekend's series against the San Diego Padres, per Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. The Dodgers have gone without Scott, their closer, since July 22 because of elbow inflammation. Yates, one of the Dodgers' top setup men, has been on the IL with lower-back pain since July 29.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitchers Tanner Scott (elbow) and Kirby Yates (back) are both expected to begin a rehab assignment in Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday. Scott last pitched on July 21 before being placed on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation, and Yates was also placed on the injured list with lower back pain after last pitching on July 26. The good news for both of them is that rehab assignments are typically much quicker for relievers, and both of them should see themselves back into high-leverage situations for the big league club before the end of the month. Scott is likely to be the one more in the mix for saves, as he has tallied 19 this year compared to Yates' three.

Los Angeles Dodgers relievers Tanner Scott (elbow) and Kirby Yates (back) will begin rehab assignments with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday. Scott has been on the 15-day injured list since July 22 with inflammation in his left elbow, while Yates has been on the shelf since July 29 with pain in his lower back. The Dodgers expect the two to return later this month, and they'll be glad to get both high-leverage relievers back for the last few weeks of the season as they battle the San Diego Padres for an NL West title. Fantasy managers should expect Scott to resume his role as the Dodgers' closer when he returns. Although Scott has had a relatively disappointing season, the Dodgers haven't found a better answer for the closer job in his absence. They have the majors' third-most blown saves (six) since the All-Star break.

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Tanner Scott (elbow) threw a 22-pitch simulated inning against teammates on Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. It's the first time Scott has faced hitters since landing on the 15-day injured list on July 22 with inflammation in his left elbow. Scott went to the shelf with a 4.14 ERA, a 1.18 WHIP, and 50:11 K:BB over 45 2/3 innings. While the 31-year-old leads the Dodgers with 19 saves, he's also still ranked last in the league in blown saves (seven) despite missing the past three-plus weeks. The Dodgers are expecting Scott to return in late August, and he should jump right back into high-leverage situations when he rejoins their bullpen.
