Tayler Scott

The Astros placed Tayler Scott on the 15-day IL with thoracic spine sprain.

Fantasy Impact

It is unclear if Scott will be able to return for the postseason. Seth Martinez was recalled as the corresponding move.

Tayler Scott delivered a flawless performance, striking out four without allowing a hit or walk over three innings in Monday's loss to the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the Astros falling 5-3, Scott's outing was a silver lining, showcasing his ability to handle extended relief appearances effectively. His season ERA now impressively stands at 1.37, complemented by a 0.95 WHIP, which should keep him on the radar for fantasy managers in need of reliable bullpen arms. Given his consistent performance and ability to suppress hits, Scott remains a viable fantasy option, especially in formats that reward holds and low ratios, despite his lack of save opportunities.
