Overview
- Houston selected Tayler Scott and designated Jordan Weems for assignment before Monday's series opener in Detroit.
- Sporting News, citing Houston Chronicle beat reporter Matt Kawahara, reported Tuesday that Scott was DFA'd and Logan VanWey was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land.
- Scott allowed five earned runs in 1.2 innings in his return outing against the Tigers, according to the Sporting News account.
- Manager Joe Espada said Scott was added to cover one to one-plus innings after extensive bullpen use in Baltimore and Cristian Javier leaving ill.
- Recent form factored in: Weems yielded five runs in one-third of an inning Sunday, and Scott's 2025 results have trended worse than his 2.23 ERA with Houston in 2024.
