Tanner Scott struck out no batters in a scoreless appearance to earn the save in Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the save, Scott's season-long numbers remain concerning, highlighted by a 5.40 ERA and a troubling 0.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Fantasy managers should be cautious, as his inconsistent performance and high ERA suggest he may not be a reliable option moving forward.

Tanner Scott is set to receive a majority of the save opportunities for the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

There was some uncertainty as to how the Dodgers' bullpen would shake out when Scott was signed, but it looks like he will start the season as the primary closer. He converted 22/24 saves in 2024.

Dodgers GM Brandon Gomes said the team will still manage their late-game bullpen based off matchups.

The Dodgers signed both Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates this offseason. Gomes added that Scott is expected to have “a lot of opportunities to close games.” It appears that both Scott and Yates will see save opportunities.

Tanner Scott has agreed to a four-year, $72 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

The Dodgers add yet another free agent and bolster their bullpen in the process. Scott is coming off perhaps his best season in 2024 between the Marlins and Padres and should be very much in the mix to be the primary closer for the Dodgers.

The Cubs reportedly remain one of the top suitors for free agent reliever Tanner Scott.

Fantasy Impact

Scott would have a chance to take over the closer role if he signs with the Cubs. He posted a 1.75 ERA with 22 saves last season with the Marlins and Padres.
