The Los Angeles Dodgers’ relief pitching has faced constant challenges this year. Despite investing more than $100 million during the off-season to strengthen their bullpen, it has turned out to be a major issue instead. Michael Kopech is currently dealing with a right knee injury, while Blake Treinen hasn’t pitched an inning yet this season. Evan Phillips has also been sidelined for the rest of the year following Tommy John Surgery.
Now, during Monday’s match against the Minnesota Twins, Tanner Scott had to leave the game in the ninth inning with the trainer and was seen chewing on his glove as he walked off. Scott signed a four-year, $72 million contract with Los Angeles during the off-season. Following the game, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts informed the media that Scott was feeling “emotionally unwell,” which is concerning to hear from a manager regarding a player like Scott.

Scott Placed on the Injured List
Roberts revealed prior to Tuesday’s game that Scott has been placed on the 15-Day Injured List due to a left forearm injury. He underwent an MRI on Tuesday, with the team still waiting for the findings. Nonetheless, Roberts mentioned that Scott is “in a better position” than the day before.
Scott is the ninth Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher currently on the injured list. Nevertheless, the management has already recognized that they are expected to seek additional bullpen help by the trade deadline, which is only nine days away.
Scott Has Faced Challenges This Season
Even though Scott hasn’t performed as well as the Los Angeles Dodgers had anticipated, if he requires Tommy John surgery, it would be a significant setback for the bullpen and pitching staff, which has already faced multiple pitching injuries. The Dodgers are ranked 24th in Major League Baseball in bullpen ERA, with a score of 4.35. After achieving a career-high 1.75 ERA with both theMiami Marlins and San Diego PadresLast season in 72 innings, Scott faced challenges this year. In 45.2 innings, Scott has a 4.14 ERA. His BB/9 and H/9 are comparable to last season, but he has been missing the strike zone more often this year.

In 2024, Scott allowed only three home runs throughout the entire season. This year, he has surrendered eight home runs in roughly half the number of innings pitched.
Additionally, he has seven blown saves, ranking him at the top of MLB.
Undoubtedly, it’s still a significant loss for the Dodgers, who aim to win the World Series again. The Dodgers desperately need positive news regarding injuries, but they might soon receive some good updates with their starterBlake Snelllikely heading back to a major league pitching mound soon, and the same situation applies to Treinen. The Dodgers are positioned for October, but with numerous injuries expected to impact the regular season more as it moves into August, it brings significant concerns about the pitching staff.
