The LA Dodgers have been missing the services of reliever Tanner Scott throughout this postseason so far. He last pitched on Sept. 26 against the Seattle Mariners, and since then, he has been dealing with a lower-body abscess procedure.

In the latest update, Scott, who is signed to a four-year, $72 million contract, revealed that he has resumed throwing bullpen sessions and said:

“I feel a lot better now. There was a few days that I definitely felt miserable. But I feel a lot better now. Throwing, threw a couple bullpens. We’ll see where it takes me.”

Dodgers manager shares update on Tanner Scott's World Series roster inclusion

With the latest development, questions arose about whether Tanner Scott will be available during the World Series. According to manager Dave Roberts, Scott is eligible for the World Series roster.

“I wouldn’t close that door,” Roberts said. “I think obviously the way that the rules are structured, he won’t be available for the CS. But I still feel that the World Series, if we’re fortunate enough to get there, earn our way there, then he’ll be available.”

Scott is one of the best relievers in MLB, but after coming to LA in 2025, he has fallen short of expectations. In 2025, he made 61 pitching appearances, posting a 4.74 ERA with a WHIP of 1.26 across 57.0 innings.

It remains to be seen if he is healthy enough to make the Dodgers' World Series roster.
