Dodgers place left-hander Tanner Scott on IL with elbow inflammation
The Los Angeles Dodgers have placed left-handed reliever Tanner Scott on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation, yet another blow to an ailing bullpenJULY 23 • Associated Press
Officially placed on IL The Dodgers placed Scott on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with left elbow inflammation.
Impact The fact that the team is labeling his injury as "inflammation" suggests the southpaw didn't suffer any structural damage during his outing Monday, but it will still cause him to remain out until at least early August. Alexis Diaz will come up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill the open spot in Los Angeles' bullpen, and closing duties will likely be handed to Kirby Yates or Alex Vesia going forward.

Likely headed for IL Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Scott will "most likely" land on the 15-day injured list after the southpaw felt a "sting" in his left forearm during his relief appearance i...
Impact Summoned from the bullpen with two outs in the top of the eighth inning, Scott induced a Harrison Bader lineout to preserve the Dodgers' four-run lead. He then retired one of the first three batters he faced in the top of the ninth before he was visited on the mound by a team trainer after he was in obvious discomfort when he threw a slider in the dirt in the first pitch of Ryan Jeffers' at-bat. Though an X-ray and manual testing on Scott yielded positive results, the 31-year-old southpaw is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday as the Dodgers look to determine the full extent of his injury. With a stint on the IL likely on tap for Scott, the Dodgers could turn to Kirby Yates -- who collected the save Monday -- and Alex Vesia as their preferred options to close out games. Expect Los Angeles to also seek upgrades to the back end of the bullpen leading up to the July 31 trade deadline, as Scott is just the latest in a long line of high-profile Dodgers relievers to go down with an injury.

Leaves with trainer Scott left Monday's game against the Twins due to an undisclosed injury, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact The nature of Scott's injury is unclear at this time, though he was in obvious discomfort after firing his 22nd pitch of the night. He stated after the game that he felt a "sting" in his forearm, and the team will send him for an MRI on Tuesday, per Ardaya. Kirby Yates would likely be in line for save chances if Scott is looking at an IL stint, and Blake Treinen (forearm), who is nearing the end of a rehab assignment, could also get saves once he's activated.

Falters again Sunday Scott allowed two runs on two hits and a walk over one inning, taking a blown save in Sunday's 5-2 extra-innings win over the Giants.
Impact Offense was at a premium in the first nine innings, but Scott allowed a game-tying, two-run home run to pinch hitter Luis Matos in the ninth. This was Scott's second blown save in three outings, and he's been tagged for five runs over five innings to begin July. He's now 19-for-26 in save chances while adding seven holds over 45 appearances this season. Scott's ERA is up to 4.09 with a 1.14 WHIP, but his impressive control (49:8 K:BB) should keep him firmly in the high-leverage mix as long as can bounce back following the All-Star break.

Rebounds for 19th save Scott earned a save against San Francisco on Saturday, striking out two batters in a perfect inning.
Impact Scott entered Saturday in the midst of a small rough patch, as he blew his previous save opportunity Wednesday versus Milwaukee and gave up three runs over two innings across his past two outings. He got back on track against the Giants to help the Dodgers snap a seven-game losing streak, fanning two of the three batters he faced in a 12-pitch ninth inning. Scott has had some struggles this season -- he's tied for the MLB lead with six blown saves -- but the lefty remains Los Angeles' primary closer and has collected 19 saves while posting a 3.77 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 49:7 K:BB over 43 innings.
