Dodgers announce relief Tanner Scott Elbow inflammation has been on the list of injuries for 15 days. Los Angeles Recalls Alexis Díaz Occupy in the cowshed.
This was more or less guaranteed when Scott left what Dave Roberts called the “sting” manager in his forearm last night. It’s a worrying note, but Roberts sounds more optimistic today than last night. The captain told reporters (including ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez) that Scott felt “much better” today. The Dodgers are still waiting for the results of the MRI before they can get out of the situation completely, but there is reason to hope they avoid the worst.
Scott is in the first season of a four-year contract. It was an impressive year for the top free agent rescuers last winter. Scott has a 4.19 ERA through 45 2/3 innings. His strikeout rate of 27.2% and his career-low 6% walk percentage are better than the league average. The biggest culprit in his mid-prize was the huge competition of tough contacts – correspondingly in the home run. Scott scored the highest seven leads in MLB while recording 19 saves and 8 holds.
Even before Scott was injured, the Dodgers were prioritizing high-leverage relief. Bob Nightengale of the USA Today links Los Angeles to all the top bullpen trade candidates for the weekend.
