Tanner

Scott

Roberts added that he believes last season was an outlier since Scott never felt right from a physical standpoint all year. The 31-year-old southpaw’s sudden decline after establishing himself as one of the premier late-inning relievers in baseball over the past couple seasons certainly feels like it was injury-related. We’re anticipating a bounce-back campaign, assuming he enters spring training with a clean bill of health, but his role remains a bit unclear, especially since the Dodgers have been linked to several prominent free agent closers. Stay tuned.

Scott was removed from the team’s roster during the NLDS after undergoing a lower body abscess procedure. The Dodgers were hopeful that he would be ready to return for the start of the World Series, but he isn’t quite there yet. Vesia is still away from the team while navigating a deeply personal family matter. Ben Casparius was removed from the roster along with Vesia while Edgardo Henriquez and Will Klein were added. Michael Conforto remains off the roster as well. The Dodgers will kick off the Fall Classic in Toronto on Friday evening against Trey Yesavage and the Blue Jays.

According to a team statement, Vesia is away from the team as he and his wife navigate a deeply personal family matter. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters he’s unsure whether he’ll be available for the World Series. The 29-year-old left-hander has allowed two runs over 4 2/3 innings over seven appearances this postseason. His absence leaves a significant hole in Los Angeles’ high-leverage mix. It’s possible Tanner Scott (lower body) will be ready to take his spot on the World Series roster as a left-handed option.

Scott, who was away from the team last night, underwent a lower body abscess procedure, according to manager Dave Roberts. The roster move means that he’ll be ineligible to return prior to the World Series. Wrobleski will join the pen in his place. He had a 4.32 ERA and a 76/17 K/BB in 66 2/3 innings over two starts and 22 relief appearances this season.

Scott threw 21 pitches on Tuesday and 20 pitches on Thursday, so it was a little surprising that he was the choice to close out Seattle. Still, he succeeded in protecting a one-run lead for his fourth save in 14 appearances since coming off the injured list last month. If the Dodgers have another save chance on Saturday, it’ll probably go to Alex Vesia or Jack Dreyer.

Scott took the mound in the bottom of the ninth to close things out with a one-run lead. He hit the leadoff man and issued a walk to put the first two runners on. A sacrifice bunt would move the runners over before a sacrifice fly brought the game-tying run home. Geraldo Perdomo would then walk it off with a base hit. Scott is now 22-for-32 in save chances after suffering his tenth blown save.

Scott made it somewhat interesting because of course he did, but he was able to get a pair of clutch strikeouts to keep the Giants from pulling off the comeback win. It also gives Scott 22 saves and lowers his ERA to a still-disappointing 4.64 in 2025.

Oof. Scott walked a pair of batters and also allowed a single, but the big blow — big blow doesn’t nearly do it enough credit — was a grand slam by Patrick Bailey to walk-off the Dodgers in the first of the three-game series. Scott has had some decent moments, but his ERA is now above 5, and while he likely will get more save chances, one can’t help but wonder how the Dodgers will go about attacking the ninth inning come October.

Scott allowed a hit, but he was able to escape without giving up a run while throwing 7-of-9 pitches for strikes. The 31-year-old has saved 21 games in his first campaign with the Dodgers, which helps compensate for — but doesn’t erase — a 4.47 ERA over his 50 1/3 innings across 53 appearances.

Treinen was the choice to step in after Yoshinobu Yamamoto lost his no-hitter with two outs in the ninth. He gave up a double to the first batter he faced before hitting a batter and walking two in a row to force in a run. He was then replaced by Tanner Scott, who gave up a two-run single to end the game. Treinen was in line for his first save since Apr. 9. The blown save actually ended up going to Scott, but it’ll be Treinen who gets the most blame for this one.
