Dodgers activate key reliever Tanner Scott before their big weekend series at San Diego

The Los Angeles Dodgers activated reliever Tanner Scott from the injured list before their key weekend series against the San Diego Padres
AUGUST 23, 2025 • Associated Press
Returned to OKC The Dodgers optioned Sauer to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.
Impact Sauer was recalled Thursday and yielded two runs on three hits and two strikeouts over two innings of relief. He'll head back to Triple-A on Friday, yielding his spot on the 26-man roster to Tanner Scott. Sauer has a 4.86 ERA and a 73:23 K:BB across 76 innings with Oklahoma City this season.
AUGUST 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Rejoins bullpen The Dodgers recalled Sauer from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.
Impact Sauer holds a 6.18 ERA and 22:8 K:BB over 27.2 innings covering one start and eight relief outings for the Dodgers this season. He'll give manager Dave Roberts a fresh arm after the bullpen covered four frames in Wednesday's loss to the Rockies.
AUGUST 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Sent down to minors The Dodgers optioned Sauer to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
Impact Sauer was credited with a win Tuesday versus the Padres despite allowing three runs over 2.1 relief innings. He will head back to Oklahoma City to accommodate the return of Emmet Sheehan (elbow), who will start Wednesday's contest.
JUNE 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Snags win Tuesday Sauer (2-1) allowed three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three over 2.1 innings of relief, earning the win over the Padres on Tuesday.
Impact Sauer was in the game when the Dodgers rallied ahead with a five-run sixth inning. He proceeded give three of those runs back in the seventh, but the Dodgers held the lead to earn him his first win since April 29. Sauer is at a 6.18 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 22:8 K:BB through 27.2 innings over nine appearances (one start) this season. He's been often mediocre at best, but the Dodgers have had to dig deep due to numerous injuries to starters, allowing Sauer to be part of the group that covered innings. That leaves his status in the rotation as shaky at best, and with Emmet Sheehan (elbow) set for his season debut Wednesday, Sauer could soon be shifted to the bullpen or jettisoned from the big-league roster altogether.

Lit up in bulk-relief outing Sauer (1-1) allowed nine runs on 13 hits and three walks while striking out six over 4.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Padres.
Impact Sauer was terrible, but he was able to absorb some innings for a pitching staff that was lacking in fresh arms. This performance could make Sauer's current stay with the big club a short one, especially after he needed 111 pitches (69 strikes) Tuesday. His ERA spiked up to 5.68 with a 1.38 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB across 25.1 innings over eight appearances (one start) at the big-league level.

Recalled from Triple-A The Dodgers recalled Sauer from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
Impact Sauer is expected to take on the bulk of the workload in Tuesday's game in San Diego, whether it be as a traditional starter or bulk reliever. The right-hander has collected a 3.05 ERA and 13:3 K:BB over 20.2 frames at the big-league level in 2025.
JUNE 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to start Tuesday Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after Monday's game against the Padres that Sauer will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to Tuesday's contest, Fabian Ardaya of The At...
Impact Although Roberts didn't confirm it, Sauer is expected to start Tuesday's game in San Diego. The 26-year-old right-hander has made one start and six relief appearances with the Dodgers this season, posting a 3.05 ERA and 13:3 K:BB over 20.2 frames. Sauer went 4.2 innings and threw 82 pitches in his last start with Oklahoma City, so he should be prepared for a full workload Tuesday.
JUNE 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Relegated to Triple-A The Dodgers optioned Sauer to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Sauer pitched three innings and gave up two runs (one earned) in Friday's 13-inning marathon and will now end up as the odd man out of a roster spot with Bobby Miller coming up from Triple-A. Sauer owns a 3.05 ERA and 0.92 WHIP across 20.2 innings in the big leagues this season, so there's a good chance we'll see him back in Dodger blue later this year.
MAY 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Works in relief Monday Sauer surrendered two earned runs on two hits and no walks while striking out one batter over two innings of relief in Monday's 9-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Impact After making a four-inning start in his previous appearance for the Dodgers last Thursday against the Athletics, Sauer shifted back to the bullpen after Los Angeles added Clayton Kershaw to its rotation over the weekend. The Dodgers still went without a traditional starter in Monday's game, as Jack Dreyer covered the first two frames before Landon Knack tossed the next five innings. Sauer then came on to finish out the contest, but Knack looks like he'll be prioritized in bulk relief ahead of Sauer the next time the fifth spot in the Los Angeles rotation comes up.
