Dodgers’ Tanner Scott Targets World Series Roster After Abscess Procedure

MLB’s injury replacement rules kept him out of the NLCS, leaving him eligible for a World Series return.

Overview

  • Scott says he feels healthy after a lower-body abscess procedure that led to his removal from the NLDS roster.
  • He resumed bullpen sessions and expects to face hitters during team workouts this week ahead of Game 1 on Friday.
  • The ailment was described by Scott as an infection, while a Dodgers official characterized it as a cyst.
  • Scott was replaced by Justin Wrobleski before NLDS Game 4 and did not pitch in the Wild Card, NLDS, or NLCS; his last outing came Sept. 26 in Seattle.
  • His role is uncertain given a 4.74 ERA with an MLB-high 10 blown saves this season and the postseason emergence of Roki Sasaki, Alex Vesia, Anthony Banda, and Blake Treinen.
