Why Tanner Scott didn't pitch instead of Kirby Yates in walk-off loss to Rangers
Briefly

The Los Angeles Dodgers focused on strengthening their bullpen in the offseason, highlighted by the signing of Tanner Scott and the retention of Blake Treinen. Scott, a sought-after left-handed pitcher, secured a four-year, $72 million contract. Although he started the season as the closer, he faced challenges with reduced velocity and fewer strikeouts. Treinen's injury adds to the bullpen's challenges, while Scott has remained effective in converting saves but has shown slight performance concerns that could impact his reliability moving forward.
The Dodgers successfully signed Tanner Scott to a four-year, $72 million contract, strengthening their bullpen despite initial doubts about their interest in the relief pitcher.
Scott has converted seven saves this season. However, concerns arise as his velocity decreases and he generates fewer swings and misses than last year's performance.
