Tanner Scott - Page 9 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Deployed in eighth frame Wednesday Scott pitched a perfect eighth inning, striking out one batter and earning a hold in Wednesday's win over San Diego.

Impact Dodgers manager Dave Roberts elected to call upon Scott to face the middle of the Padres' order with Los Angeles holding a 4-2 lead in the eighth. Scott looked great in firing 11 of 15 pitches for strikes and retiring Jackson Merrill, Gavin Sheets and Xander Bogaerts in order. Roberts indicated in early June that the team has "no dedicated closer," and that was emphasized Wednesday, as Scott notched a hold while fellow lefty Alex Vesia struck out the side in a perfect ninth frame to notch a save. Still, Scott leads the club with 12 saves -- including three of the past five -- and remains the best choice for fantasy managers among the Dodgers' bullpen options.

Earns 12th save Scott allowed an unearned run on one hit and struck out one over one inning to earn the save in Monday's 8-7 extra-inning win over the Padres.

Impact Scott allowed an RBI double to Jackson Merrill in the 10th inning, but he was able to strand the young Padre at second base to end the back-and-forth contest. This was Scott's second save in his last three outings, which comes after manager Dave Roberts indicated the Dodgers are using a committee-based approach to closing duties. That was necessitated by Scott's bumpy stretch from May 20 to June 2, when he allowed 12 runs (10 earned) over six innings while converting just one of four save chances. Nonetheless, he remains in the late-inning mix. He's at a 4.11 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 35:4 K:BB while adding 12 saves and five holds over 30.2 innings this season. The Dodgers are 40-27 following Monday's win, so there are plenty of saves to go around -- they are one of nine teams in the majors so far to accumulate 20 saves as a team.

Works for 11th save Scott surrendered a hit but recorded two strikeouts in the ninth inning to pick up the save during Thursday's 6-5 win over the Mets.

Impact After his closer status was put into question following a rocky outing Monday, Scott has posted back-to-back shutout appearances. Right back in a save situation Friday, he needed 21 pitches to finish off his 11th save, but he posted two more strikeouts to make it 31 on the season, a K/9 rate of 10.1. The 30-year-old southpaw is now 11-for-16 on save opportunities for the season.

Impact Though it wasn't a save situation, Scott struggled again Monday, giving up two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk in the 10th inning to take the loss. Over the lefty's past seven outings, he's given up 12 runs (10 earned) across six frames while taking two losses and blowing three of four save chances. It's unclear how Roberts will manage ninth-inning opportunities moving forward, and while Scott may continue to notch save chances in certain matchups, more looks could go the way of Alex Vesia (who has the team's most recent save, which took place May 30 versus the Yankees) and Kirby Yates (hamstring), who is on the IL but appears to be nearing a return. Michael Kopech (shoulder) racked up six regular-season saves with Los Angeles after joining the team in late July last year and could also be an option for ninth-inning work down the line, though he hasn't yet pitched for the Dodgers this year and has an 8.53 ERA through eight minor-league rehab appearances, so he probably will be eased into high-leverage work after being activated off the IL.

Last Night in Baseball: Paul Skenes actually got some run support for once

Another blown save Wednesday Scott (0-1) took the loss and blew the save Wednesday as the Dodgers were downed 7-4 by the Guardians, surrendering four runs on three hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning....

Impact Called in to protect a 4-2 lead with two outs in the seventh inning, Scott got the final out of that frame but fell apart in the eighth, putting the first three batters aboard before serving up a game-tying single to Nolan Jones before being replaced by Alex Vesia, who promptly served up a three-run homer to Angel Martinez. While he wasn't used in a save situation, it's the third time in his last five appearances that Scott has been charged with a blown save, a stretch in which he's coughed up nine earned runs in 4.2 innings. He now carries a 4.62 ERA on the season despite a 1.11 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB in 25.1 innings, and with five blown saves against 10 successful conversions, his job at closer could be in jeopardy, especially once the likes of Kirby Yates (hamstring) and Michael Kopech (shoulder) have come off the IL.

Blows fourth save Scott coughed up three runs on three hits and a walk while recording just one out Friday, blowing his fourth save of the season in an eventual 7-5 extra-innings win over the Mets.

Impact Brought in to protect a 5-2 lead in the ninth inning, Scott put two runners aboard ahead of a one-out triple by Jeff McNeil, who then came home on a Tyrone Taylor single. Scott has blown two of his last three save chances, but he'd gone eight appearances without allowing a run prior to that. The southpaw sports a 3.42 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 25:2 K:BB through 23.2 innings on the season with 10 saves and four holds in 24 games, and his spot in the Dodgers' bullpen hierarchy doesn't seem to be in immediate jeopardy, especially with Kirby Yates (hamstring), Michael Kopech (shoulder) and Evan Phillips (elbow) all currently on the injured list.

Bounces back with smooth save Scott earned a save against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, striking out two batters in a perfect ninth inning.

Impact Scott blew a save opportunity while giving up three runs (two earned) over 1.2 frames Tuesday, but he was right back on the mound one day later despite having thrown 28 pitches in that outing. This time the southpaw got the job done, throwing 12 of 14 pitches for strikes and fanning two batters en route to an impressive 1-2-3 frame. Seven different Dodgers relievers have a save this season, but Scott is the clear leader of the pack with 10 saves (no other Dodgers pitcher has more than two). As such, he should be viewed as one of fantasy's most desirable relievers despite the fact that he'll occasionally be used in high-leverage situations before the ninth inning.

Blows save Tuesday Scott allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits and struck out two over 1.2 innings, taking a blown save in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Scott was called on to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning but surrendered a one-out solo shot to Gabriel Moreno. Despite that hiccup, Scott stayed in to begin the 10th and promptly allowed a two-run blast to Corbin Carroll. Luckily for Scott, the Dodgers were able to rally in their half of the 10th to help him avoid the loss. This ended his 7.2-inning scoreless streak. He's now 9-for-12 in save chances while adding four holds with a 2.42 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 23:1 K:BB over 22.1 innings this season. Scott has been the Dodgers' primary closer for much of the season, but manager Dave Roberts doesn't hesitate to utilize the southpaw earlier to protect a lead.
