"Scott was replaced on the NL Division Series roster ahead of Game 4 due to an emergency abscess excision surgery on his lower body. According to MLB rules, a player must miss the next round of the postseason if they are removed from a roster mid-series due to injury. That made Scott unavailable for the NLCS, but he is now once again eligible to be on the roster for the World Series."
"Scott ended up being replaced by Justin Wrobleski, who has yet to pitch this postseason. The Dodgers also only relied on four relievers in the NLCS: Anthony Banda, Blake Treinen, Alex Vesia and Roki Sasaki. Scott did not pitch during the Wild Card Series or NLDS while he was active, either. Although he may have been used in NLDS Game 3, he was not at the ballpark that day due to his injury."
Tanner Scott was removed from the Dodgers’ NL Division Series roster before Game 4 after undergoing an emergency abscess excision surgery on his lower body. MLB rules require a player removed from a roster mid-series due to injury to miss the next postseason round, rendering Scott unavailable for the NLCS. He is now eligible to be added to the World Series roster. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Scott remains an option for the World Series. Scott did not pitch during the Wild Card Series or NLDS while active, has not pitched since Sept. 26, and struggled this season with a 4.74 ERA and 10 blown saves.
