Tanner Scott left the game after throwing 22 pitches, appearing to flex his throwing arm in the ninth inning. He exited with runners on base, leading to Kirby Yates relieving him and giving up a walk and a sacrifice fly. Despite a substantial four-year, $72 million contract, Scott has struggled this season with a 4.14 ERA and seven blown saves. The Dodgers aim to target a late-inning reliever by the July 31 deadline, with increased urgency if Scott is sidelined for an extended period.
Tanner Scott exited Monday's game with an apparent injury after throwing 22 pitches. He was flexing his throwing arm before leaving in the ninth inning.
Scott left the game with runners on first and second and one out in a 3-2 count, after which Kirby Yates came in to relieve him.
Scott is in the first season of a four-year, $72 million deal but has struggled this season, blowing seven saves and holding a 4.14 ERA.
The Dodgers were already expected to target a late inning reliever at the July 31 deadline, and that urgency will increase if Scott misses significant time.
