Dodgers Receive Encouraging Update Regarding Tanner Scott's Injury
The Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen is having its depth tested, but the team received a positive update regarding all-Star closer Tanner Scott.
www.newsweek.comHere are the latest publicly reported notes on Tanner Scott:
- There were reports in mid-2025 that Dodgers closer Tanner Scott left a game with a left forearm discomfort and would undergo an MRI to assess the injury. Early updates suggested elbow inflammation but no structural damage, giving a cautiously optimistic outlook for a potential return. These updates indicated he was receiving further imaging to determine next steps, including rest or rehab if needed.[1][2]
- By September 2025, NBC Sports summarized that Scott rejoined the Dodgers bullpen and was expected to contribute again, with his prior workload and save total noted, implying he was healthy enough to be back in action.[3]
- Later coverage through ESPN and other outlets continued to track his status, including playoff-related notes, though specific-issue updates varied by week as the Dodgers navigated bullpen usage and roster decisions.[6]
