Dodgers reliever Tanner Scott removed from NLDS roster due to illness
Tanner Scott underwent surgery for a lower body abscess and will miss the NLDS and NLCS, replaced by Justin Wrobleski, Dodgers manager said he may return for the World Series.
- On Thursday, the Dodgers removed Tanner Scott from their National League Division Series roster and added Justin Wrobleski after MLB approved the injury substitution.
- During Tuesday's workout at Dodger Stadium, signs of Tanner Scott's lower-body abscess appeared, leading to a surgical procedure Wednesday night, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.
- After signing a four-year, $72 million contract, Tanner Scott posted a 4.74 ERA with an MLB-high 10 blown saves this year, drawing boos from fans.
- By rule, Tanner Scott is ineligible for the NLCS but could return for the World Series, and his absence thins the Dodgers bullpen that forced Clayton Kershaw into extra innings in Game 3.
- With a 7.04 postseason ERA, the Dodgers bullpen faces pressure as Justin Wrobleski, who limited lefties to a.194 average and posted a 4.32 ERA, joins before Game 4 this afternoon.
