TANNER SCOTT NEWS

Resumes mound work Scott (biceps) resumed throwing off a mound Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Scott has been slowed by some discomfort in his left biceps but has apparently made some nice progress of late. Assuming that progress continues, he should be ready for game action soon and could get in enough work to be ready for Opening Day. Scott is expected to be part of the Marlins' closer-by-committee approach in 2023.

Experiencing biceps discomfort Scott has been experiencing minor biceps discomfort, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Scott is scheduled to test the issue with a round of catch Tuesday in Marlins camp. For now, it doesn't seem to be anything overly concerning. The 28-year-old left-hander is in line to handle at least some share of the save opportunities in Miami this season, assuming his health cooperates.

Still in mix for saves Marlins manager Skip Schumaker indicated Wednesday he doesn't plan on using a traditional closer and will instead play matchups with Scott and the team's other high-leverage option...

Impact The veteran lefty led the Marlins with 20 saves last season, but control issues cost Scott the closing job down the stretch and allowed Dylan Floro to reclaim the ninth-inning role. Those two, along with newcomers Matt Barnes and A.J. Puk, figure to be in the mix for late-inning work, with Steven Okert (triceps) and JT Chargois potentially options as well. Given the sheer number of viable arms at the manager's disposal, there may not end up being one consistent save source on the Marlins this season, but plenty of fantasy value in formats that count holds as well.

Reaches deal with Miami Scott agreed to a $2.825 million contract with the Marlins on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact The 28-year-old led the Marlins with 20 saves last season, but he struggled during the second half while Dylan Floro finished the campaign as the primary closer. Scott finished with a 4.31 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 90:46 K:BB across 62.2 innings and is likely to open 2023 in a setup role.

Earns 20th save Scott picked up the save Sunday in Milwaukee, striking out two and walking one in a scoreless 12th inning in a 4-3 extra-innings victory.

Impact Scott allowed a one-out walk before retiring the last two batters to earn his 20th save of the season. Dylan Floro blew a save in the ninth, resulting in Scott being given the chance to convert his first save since Aug. 23. It's been a difficult second half for the 28-year-old as he has a 5.09 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 33:19 K:BB in 23 innings across 24 outings. Floro will likely be called upon first in any remaining save opportunities.

Records 18th save Scott allowed one hit and struck out one batter over one inning Monday to earn a save over the Athletics.

Impact Edward Cabrera tossed another scoreless outing for Miami, and he turned the ball over to Scott with the Marlins leading by three runs in the ninth. The closer gave up a one-out single to Sean Murphy but didn't really face much stress in registering the save. Scott is prone to the occasional blowup, but he's been pretty good of late, succeeding on six of his past seven save chances and striking out 12 batters over 9.1 innings during that stretch. However, he's also walked seven hitters during that period, highlighting the most significant flaw in his game this season.

Picks up save Scott allowed one hit and a walk in a scoreless inning and earned a save over the Padres on Monday.

Impact One day after being tagged with three runs in a loss, Scott was thrust right back into a save situation Monday. He found himself in a two-out jam but escaped with his 17th save of the year. Over his last four outings, Scott has given up seven hits and five walks across just 4.1 frames but he's converted three out of those four save chances.

Marlins can't overcome putrid offense, another Scott blown save as Braves complete four-game sweep Marlins offense has been shackled to 24 runs in 13 games of August (1.85 per game), while Tanner Scott has five blown saves in the past two...

Blows save, takes loss Scott (4-5) allowed three runs on three hits and three walks in one inning Sunday against Atlanta. He blew the save opportunity and took the loss.

Impact Scott blew the save on the very first pitch he threw, serving up a game-tying shot to Michael Harris to begin the ninth. The 28-year-old southpaw then gave up two more runs and took his fifth loss of the year. It was his first blown save sine July 13 and the first time he gave up more than two runs in an outing since June 15. Scott is now sporting a 67:34 K:BB and a 4.60 ERA through 47 innings.

AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Records 16th save Scott allowed two hits and a walk while striking out three across 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the save Thursday against the Phillies.

Impact Scott entered the game with two outs in the eighth inning and struck out a batter with runners on first and second to end the frame. He proceeded to allow the first three batters he faced to reach base in the ninth inning but escaped the jam with a pair of punchouts and a groundout to tally his 16th save of the season. Scott has been shaky of late -- he's allowed at least one earned run in four of his last nine appearances -- but the Marlins have given little indication they are looking to move on from him as their closer.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Notches 15th save Scott earned the save Sunday, striking out two and allowing one hit in the ninth inning of a 3-0 win over the Cubs.

Impact Facing the top of Chicago's lineup, Scott allowed a leadoff single before retiring the next three batters, including punching out Seiya Suzuki and Patrick Wisdom. It was his 15th save in 19 chances this season. Since taking over the closer role at the beginning of June, Scott has a 3.42 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 37:18 K:BB in 26.1 innings.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up 14th save Scott picked up the save in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Reds. He allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out two over one inning.

Impact Scott came on in the ninth with a two-run lead and retired the first two hitters he faced before issuing back-to-back walks to Jonathan India and Brandon Drury. Following a mound visit, the lefty surrendered a two-strike, RBI single to Tommy Pham, but he escaped the jam by striking out Joey Votto. The 27-year-old reliever has made 45 appearances (42.2 innings) this season and sports a 4.43 ERA with a 61:30 K:BB.

Castano hit on head by 104 mph liner in Marlins' 7-6 win

Daniel Castano was hit on the forehead by a 104 mph line drive off the bat of Donovan Solano in the first inning of the Miami Marlins’ 7-6 win over the Cincinnati Reds

Blown save Wednesday Scott was charged with a blown save Wednesday after he pitched one inning, giving up one run on a hit and two walks while striking out one in the Marlins' 5-4 extra-inning victory...

Impact Scott entered the game in the top of the ninth inning with a 2-1 lead, but he walked the first two batters he faced before Michael Chavis roped a game-tying RBI double. Scott was able to limit the damage to just one run and retired the next three batters he faced, including a strikeout of Ben Gamel. The blown save was his fourth of the campaign and third in his last six opportunities. Scott now owns a 4.17 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with 55 strikeouts over 36.2 innings, and he's converted 12 out of 16 save chances this season.

JULY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Notches 12th save Scott walked one batter over a scoreless inning Sunday, striking out two and earning a save over the Mets.

Impact Scott bounced back quickly after he blew a save and was tagged with a loss against the Mets on Saturday. He threw 11 of 19 pitches for strikes, and the lone blemish on his final line came in the form of a two-out walk to Mark Canha. Scott has now converted 12 of 15 save chances on the year, though two of those blown opportunities have come in his last five outings. He's sporting a 4.04 ERA with a 54:22 K:BB through 35.2 frames.

JULY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Blows save Saturday Scott (4-3) took the loss and blew the save against the Mets on Saturday, allowing two unearned runs on one hit while striking out two batters over two-thirds of an inning.

Impact The game went into extra innings, and Miami took a one-run lead in the top of the 10th. Scott then entered to try to keep New York off the scoreboard in the bottom of the frame, and he struck out the first two batters he faced. However, Thomas Nido subsequently tied the score with a double, and Scott committed a throwing error on the following play to give the Mets a walkoff win. The blown save was the third of the season for Scott -- all of which have come since June 15. Since the start of June, the southpaw has posted a 2.76 ERA and 25:9 K:BB over 16.1 innings, so he should still have some trust built up with manager Don Mattingly despite allowing runs in three of his last four outings.

JULY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Racks up 11th save Scott walked one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his 11th save of the season in a 5-2 win over the Mets.

Impact The southpaw fought with his control, firing only 13 of 22 pitches for strikes, but the balls the Mets were able to put into play found their way into gloves. Scott's inability to find the plate consistently is beginning to cost him, as he has a 4.66 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB through 9.2 innings over his last 10 appearances with two blown saves, and if Marlins manager Don Mattingly elects to switch closers again it appears as though Dylan Floro could be the next man up.

JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Notches save No. 10 Scott recorded his 10th save of the season in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Angels, giving up a run on one hit and two walks while striking out one in the ninth inning.

Impact The southpaw blew the combined shutout after Sandy Alcantara delivered another eight dazzling innings, but after he served up a bases-loaded sacrifice fly to Taylor Ward with one out, Scott got Jared Walsh to fly out to end the game. He's been tagged for runs in back-to-back appearances, but Scott still seems to have a fairly secure hold on the closer role for Miami, posting a 3.07 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB through 14.2 innings since the beginning of June while converting nine of 11 save chances and collecting four wins.

JULY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Earns win Sunday Scott (4-2) allowed a run on a hit and a walk while striking out one in one inning to earn the win over the Nationals on Sunday.

Impact Scott pitched in a third consecutive game Sunday and was unable to preserve the Marlins' one-run lead in the bottom of the ninth inning. However, he picked up his fourth win of the season since Miami won the game in the 10th inning. Although Scott was unable to earn the save Sunday, he's earned decent job security as the Marlins' closer over the first half of the season.

JULY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up save Scott picked up the save in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Nationals, allowing no runs one one hit while striking out none and walking none in one inning of relief.

Impact Four Marlins pitchers have earned saves this season, but Scott leads them with nine after picking up a save against the Nationals. The lefty seems to have a firm grasp on the closer role at this point. His ERA spiked to 5.04 after a poor performance on June 15, but Scott has not allowed a run in six appearances since then and his ERA now sits at 4.06.

JULY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nails down eighth save Scott struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his eighth save of the season in a 6-3 win over the Nationals.

Impact The veteran lefty continues to get the job done as the Marlins' closer. Since the beginning of June, Scott has been scored upon only twice in 12 appearances, posting a 2.31 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB through 11.2 innings over that stretch while converting seven of eight save chances.

JULY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Earns win Sunday Scott (3-2) allowed no hits and a walk while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the win over the Mets on Sunday.

Impact The southpaw has served as the Marlins' primary closer while Anthony Bender (back) has been sidelined, but Scott was called upon to preserve a tie game in the top of the ninth inning Sunday. He succeeded and was rewarded with his third win of the season after Miami hit a walkoff homer in the bottom of the ninth. The 27-year-old has tossed four scoreless innings over his last four appearances, and he's earned a win and two saves during that time. Although Bender converted six of eight save chances prior to his absence, Scott should still be firmly in the mix for high-leverage work once Bender returns to action.

JUNE 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up seventh save Scott allowed one hit but struck out three across a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Thursday against the Rockies.

Impact Scott allowed a one-out single but otherwise looked dominant to pick up his seventh save of the season. He has tallied each of Miami's last six saves and has allowed three earned runs -- all in one appearance -- across 8.2 innings as the closer. Scott's 16 walks across 28 total frames remain a concern, but his 45 strikeouts indicate he has the stuff to succeed in a ninth-inning role.

JUNE 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Notches sixth save Scott earned a save after recording two strikeouts during the ninth inning of Tuesday's win over the Rockies. He walked one batter and didn't allow a hit.

Impact The left-hander has now issued four walks over his past three appearances, but he had no other issues Tuesday while protecting a one-run lead. Scott has taken ahold of the closer role in June and is 5-for-6 in save opportunities with a 3.12 ERA and 15:4 K:BB over 8.2 innings, though his 4.67 ERA for the campaign diminishes his longer-term prospects.

JUNE 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Blows first save Scott (2-2) took the loss and blew his first save of the season Wednesday as the Marlins were downed 3-1 by the Phillies, giving up three runs on two hits and a walk over two-third...

Impact Called in to close out a combined shutout, Scott instead put two runners aboard before serving up a walkoff homer to backup catcher Garrett Stubbs. Scott hadn't allowed an earned run in June prior to Wednesday's stumble, but his 5.04 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 39:13 K:BB through 25 innings on the season make it tough to count on him holding down the closer job in Miami for the long haul.
