Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Nails down save No. 25
Scott earned the save Saturday against the Giants, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out two.
That gives Scott a save on back-to-back days for the Dodgers. Edwin Diaz is being eased back into the fray following his latest stint on the injured list, and it remains to be seen if Los Angeles will be ready to get its former closer back into high-leverage situations in the postseason. Scott appears to be the favorite for saves heading into the playoffs, sporting a 2.69 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 82:15 K:BB with 25 saves (29 opportunities) and 13 holds across 63.2 innings.

Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Clean inning for 24th save
Scott struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 2-0 win over the Giants.
Scott has locked in late in the campaign, pitching four consecutive scoreless innings with two saves and a hold over his last four appearances. The left-hander will likely enter the postseason as the Dodgers' closer after filling that role over multiple stints this season while Edwin Diaz battled injuries and ineffective pitching. Scott has earned 24 saves, 13 holds and four blown saves while pitching to a 2.73 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 80:15 K:BB through 62.2 innings.

Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Secures 23rd save
Scott picked up the save in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Giants. He allowed no hits and a walk while striking out one over a scoreless inning.
Entering with a two-run cushion, Scott worked through a two-out walk to secure his 23rd save in 27 opportunities this season. The southpaw has posted a 4.61 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB across 13.2 innings in his past 15 appearances, though much of that damage came in a three-run outing Sept. 13 against the Marlins. On the year, Scott owns a 2.77 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 78:15 K:BB over 61.2 frames.

Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Blows save, takes loss Sunday
Scott (1-6) blew a save and took the loss against the Marlins on Sunday, allowing three runs on three hits and no walks with one strikeout while recording one out.
Taylor entered with two outs in the eighth inning and struck out Griffin Conine, but he imploded in the ninth. The southpaw opened the frame by allowing three straight hits and was charged with what proved to be the game-winning run after Brock Stewart allowed a walk-off homer. The 32-year-old Scott has struggled of late, allowing earned runs in five of his past 11 games and blowing saves in two of his past four chances. On the season, he's 22-for-26 in save opportunities with a 2.91 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 73:13 K:BB across 58.2 innings.

Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Secures 22nd save
Scott struck out two and walked one over a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Reds.
Scott has made things interesting lately, but he was able to keep the Reds at bay in this one. He's given up four runs over his last six innings despite an 8:2 K:BB in that span. Scott is up to 22 saves, 12 holds and three blown saves while pitching to a 2.62 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 72:13 K:BB through 58.1 innings. Evan Phillips picked up a save Monday, but Scott still looks to have the edge for save chances in the Dodgers' bullpen.

Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Allows run but earns save
Scott allowed a run on three hits and struck out three in one inning to earn the save in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Nationals.
Scott's shaky pitching continues -- he's allowed five runs over his last 8.1 innings, though he's still converted five of six save chances in that span. He needed 17 pitches (14 strikes) to get the job done Saturday for his 21st save of the campaign. Scott has a 2.67 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 70:12 K:BB through 57.1 innings. He's pitched three of the last four days, so he may be rested Sunday even if a save chance is available.

Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Works eighth inning, suffers blown save
Scott took a blown save against St. Louis on Wednesday, when he allowed one run on one hit in one inning.
With the Dodgers clinging to a one-run lead in the eighth, manager Dave Roberts turned to Scott to face the heart of the Cardinals order. The lefty reliever gave up a leadoff double to Joshua Baez, and though Scott retired the following three batters, Baez came home to score the tying run on a sacrifice fly. The blown save was Scott's first since July 6 -- he had gone 8-for-8 on save chances while allowing only four runs over 18.1 frames spanning his past 20 appearances before Wednesday. Despite being deployed in the eighth inning against the Cardinals, Scott remains Los Angeles' top closing option in the absence of Edwin Diaz (neck), who is slated to initially work in lower leverage upon his eventual return.

Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Snags save No. 20
Scott struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his 20th save of the season in a 2-1 win over the Tigers.
The southpaw reliever had been stuck with a loss in his previous two appearances, but Scott bounced back with a dominant effort in which he fired eight of 13 pitches for strikes. He's converted four straight save chances since Edwin Diaz (neck) landed back on the IL, and with manager Dave Roberts having already announced that Diaz will initially be used in low-leverage situations once he returns, Scott's latest stint as the Dodgers' closer could extend well into September. On the season, Scott has produced a 2.45 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 67:12 K:BB through 55 innings.

Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Surrenders walk-off single
Scott (1-5) took the loss Wednesday against Atlanta, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning.
Scott entered the ninth inning of a tie game and retired the first two batters before Lane Thomas doubled to put the winning run in scoring position. Los Angeles elected to intentionally walk Austin Riley before Ha-Seong Kim ended the game with a walk-off RBI single. It marked Scott's second consecutive loss after he also surrendered the winning run Tuesday. Outside of those two appearances, he has allowed just two runs across 13.2 innings in the second half. Scott owns a 2.50 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 65:12 K:BB across 54 innings this season while recording 19 saves and 12 holds

Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Locks down 19th save
Scott struck out one in a clean ninth inning to earn the save Saturday against the Pirates.
Back in the closer role for the Dodgers with Edwin Diaz (neck) sidelined, Scott has successfully converted three straight save appearances since Tuesday. Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Diaz will handle a low-leverage role once he returns from the injured list, so it sounds like Scott has a real chance to retain the ninth-inning gig for the remainder of the regular season. The hard-throwing left-hander boasts a 2.24 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 64:11 K:BB over 52.1 innings, collecting 19 saves (21 attempts) and 12 holds.

Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Secures extra-inning save
Scott struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Rockies.
Scott picked up a save for the second day in a row, confirming that he'll be the primary closer for the Dodgers while Edwin Diaz (neck) is on the injured list. Scott was able to strand the automatic runner at second base in the 10th inning to earn his 18th save of the year. He's at a 2.28 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 63:11 K:BB while going 18-for-20 in save chances while adding 12 holds this year.

Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Grabs four-out save
Scott allowed one run on two hits and failed to record a strikeout or walk over 1.1 innings to earn the save in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Rockies.
Scott inherited a mess from Evan Phillips in the eighth inning but was able to get out of it. In the ninth, Scott gave up a run but maintained the lead to record his 17th save of the season. Edwin Diaz (neck) is back on the injured list after struggling mightily for a couple of weeks following his return from an elbow injury. Scott has had plenty of success in the closer role this year, and he's allowed just two runs over 11.2 innings since the All-Star break, collecting four saves and six holds in that span. If Scott continues to pitch well in the closer role, the job could be his even when Diaz is healthy again. Overall, Scott has a 2.32 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 62:11 K:BB across 50.1 innings this season as one of the Dodgers' most reliable relievers, regardless of role.

Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Moves back to setup role
Scott allowed one run on two hits and struck out one batter over one inning in a 4-2 win over Seattle on Wednesday.
Scott had recorded a save in 10 of his previous 15 outings while serving as Los Angeles' closer, but Edwin Diaz was activated off the IL on Wednesday and ended up registering a save with a one-run ninth inning. Scott instead handled the eighth and gave up a run on a pair of hits (a double and a single), though his outing could have been worse if not for a highlight-reel catch by Teoscar Hernandez in left field. Scott has been stellar overall this year with a 2.47 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 56:6 K:BB over 43.2 innings, and he could still get occasional save chances when Diaz is down or when matchups call for the Dodgers to go to a left-handed reliever; however, for the most part, it appears Scott will primarily work in a setup role moving forward.

Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Secures 16th save
Scott earned the save in Friday's 4-2 win over the Mets, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.
Scott was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning and retired the heart of the Mets' order to close the door. The southpaw has converted five of six save chances in July, holding opponents scoreless in seven of eight appearances this month. He owns a 2.34 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 54:5 K:BB across 42.1 innings this season to go along with six holds and 16 saves, though his time in the closer role is likely nearing its end with Edwin Diaz's (elbow) return looming.
