Injury in Dodgers Bullpen Makes Tanner Scott Waiver-Wire-Worthy
Los Angeles Dodgers left-handed reliever Tanner Scott should at least be part of a closer-by-committee approach for the team moving forward now that right-handed closer Edwin Diaz (elbow) is expected to miss at least three months while needing surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow. In addition to Scott, fellow lefty Alex Vesia and righty Blake Treinen could be used in save situations for the foreseeable future by manager Dave Roberts. The 31-year-old Scott was an All-Star for the first time in his career in 2024 with the Miami Marlins and San Diego Padres, but that was followed by a rough 2025 campaign in his first year with the Blue. Scott did have a career-high 23 saves last year, but he also struggled to a 1-4 record, 4.74 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 60:18 K:BB in 57 innings pitched over 61 appearances. He has turned things around so far in 2026, allowing just an earned run with no walks and eight punchouts in 8 2/3 frames. Now that Scott is back in a position to pick up saves, his ownership in fantasy leagues should increase. Scott is currently only rostered in 19% of Yahoo leagues.
