Dodgers Remove Tanner Scott from NLDS Roster After Abscess Procedure

The MLB-approved injury replacement renders him ineligible for the NLCS.

Overview

  • Los Angeles replaced the left-hander with fellow southpaw Justin Wrobleski, who has no postseason appearances.
  • MLB medical director Dr. Gary Green reviewed the medical information and confirmed Scott’s injury.
  • Signs of discomfort surfaced during Tuesday’s workout, a procedure was performed Wednesday night, and the roster change came Thursday before Game 4 with the Dodgers leading the series 2-1.
  • Scott has not pitched this postseason after a regular season with a 4.74 ERA and 23 saves following his four-year, $72 million deal.
  • With Scott unavailable in Game 3, Clayton Kershaw handled two relief innings and allowed five runs, while Dave Roberts left open the possibility of a World Series return if the team advances.
