Tanner Scott Deserves to be Rostered in More Fantasy Leagues
Even though Will Klein picked up the save on Tuesday in a 5-4 win over the division-rival San Diego Padres, Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Tanner Scott is still the closer to roster in L.A. with Edwin Diaz (elbow) out for the foreseeable future. Scott picked up his first win of the year on Tuesday against the Friars, throwing 1 1/3 scoreless and hitless innings while walking one and striking out two. The 31-year-old southpaw hasn't allowed a run since April 24 against the Chicago Cubs and has thrown 8 1/3 scoreless innings since then with two hits allowed, two walks, 11 strikeouts, one sin, and three saves. Scott was used in a critical moment before the ninth inning in his most recent outing on Tuesday with the game on the line in a 4-4 ballgame, so he's not in any danger of falling out of favor for save chances for the Dodgers. Diaz isn't close at all to a return, so Scott is going to get plenty more save opportunities for one of the best teams in baseball. Somehow, he's only rostered in 47% of Yahoo leagues. Scott had a rough first year in L.A. in 2025, but he has a 1.37 ERA, 0.61 WHIP, four saves, and a 20:3 K:BB in his 19 2/3 innings in 2026.
