Tanner Scott Likely Headed for Injured List
Tanner Scott (forearm) was pulled from his outing on Monday in the series opener against the Minnesota Twins and will "most likely" land on the injured list, according to manager Dave Roberts. Scott grimaced after releasing a slider and felt a "sting" in his left forearm. He will go for an MRI exam on Tuesday morning, at which point we should have a better idea of how long he might be out. But the Dodgers' already prevalent need for bullpen help just increased with Scott's injury. The 30-year-old, who is in the first year of a four-year, $72 million deal, has struggled to a 4.14 ERA with seven blown saves in 26 tries in his first 46 appearances with L.A. Kirby Yates entered for the final two outs on Monday for the save, but Alex Vesia could also be a candidate for saves with Scott injured. Evan Phillips is out for the season, and Michael Kopech, Brusdar Graterol and Blake Treinen are all on the IL.
