Tanner Scott is a Must-Add Closer Where Available
After opening 2026 in a setup role, Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Tanner Scott has emerged as one of the better closers in baseball while filling in for injured Dodgers reliever Edwin Diaz (elbow). Across 33 innings (35 games) so far this season, Scott has pitched to a 2.18 ERA and 0.70 WHIP with 40 strikeouts and 11 saves. Dating back to June 11, Scott has converted all five of his save opportunities while allowing just one hit and striking out eight across 5 1/3 scoreless innings. The 31-year-old has struck out 33.1% of the batters he's faced this season while allowing just a 2.5% walk rate. While Diaz is expected to return at some point in 2026, the Dodgers have little reason to rush him back. For the time being, Scott is an absolute must-add relief pitcher in any fantasy league where he remains on the waiver wire.
