Jun 27 2025Scott picked up the save, working a scoreless ninth while allowing two hits, walking one and striking out one during Friday's 5-4 win over the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott made it 18 saves on the season, but things got dicey on the way there. The left-hander loaded the bases with one out, but induced a game-ending double play to clinch the win. The 30-year-old has converted eight straight save opportunities, but has allowed five hits, walked two and only stuck out two over his last four appearances spanning 4.1 innings.
Jun 26 2025Scott walked one and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott has six saves and two holds over his last eight appearances, a span in which he's allowed two runs (one earned) over 8.1 innings. The walk he issued Thursday was just the fifth he's permitted all season, but he was able to erase the mistake with a game-ending double play. Scott is at a 3.55 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 41 strikeouts over 38 innings while adding 17 saves, seven holds and five blown saves in a high-leverage role.
Jun 25 2025Scott picked up the save Tuesday against Colorado, allowing two hits over 1.1 scoreless innings. He did not record a walk or a strikeout. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott was forced into the game before the ninth inning after the Dodgers' advantage was trimmed to three with runners on first and second with two outs in the eighth. Scott allowed a two-RBI double to the first batter he faced, but he managed to hang on to grab his 16th save. He's converted each of his last six save chances and has allowed one earned run in his last 10 appearances (10.1 innings).
Jun 20 2025Scott allowed a run on one hit over one inning to earn the save in Friday's 6-5 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott had to face the top of the Nationals' order and gave up a solo home run to CJ Abrams, but he was able to preserve the lead after that. This was the first earned run Scott had given up since June 2 versus the Mets, and it was the first time he's allowed a baserunner since June 9 in San Diego. The left-handed reliever is up to 15 saves this year while adding seven holds and five blown saves. He's maintained a 3.79 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 40:4 K:BB over 35.2 innings as the head of the Dodgers' closing committee.
Jun 17 2025Scott struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott was called upon in the ninth inning to face the heart of the Padres' order. He closed out the game with 13 pitches (nine strikes) while pitching for the third day in a row. This was his fourth straight perfect inning, a span in which he's racked up six strikeouts, two saves and two holds. Scott has a 3.63 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 40:4 K:BB, 14 saves and seven holds across 34.2 innings this season. He remains the Dodgers' top high-leverage reliever, though that has occasionally cost him some chances at saves since the team has plenty of trustworthy late-inning arms. Scott likely won't pitch Wednesday given his recent workload, so look for Kirby Yates or Alex Vesia to be closing options should a save situation arise in that game.
Jun 15 2025Scott struck out three batters in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott was tasked with protecting a one-run lead while facing the heart of the Giants' order. He got the job done on 13 pitches (10 strikes), earning his third save in seven outings in June. Scott has allowed three runs (one earned) over seven innings this month. He's now at a 3.86 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 38:4 K:BB while adding 13 saves and six holds over 32.2 innings. The Dodgers' bullpen situation remains a bit fluid, but Scott is firmly in the high-leverage mix as he continues to be deployed in critical spots regardless of inning.
Jun 12 2025Scott pitched a perfect eighth inning, striking out one batter and earning a hold in Wednesday's win over San Diego. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Dodgers manager Dave Roberts elected to call upon Scott to face the middle of the Padres' order with Los Angeles holding a 4-2 lead in the eighth. Scott looked great in firing 11 of 15 pitches for strikes and retiring Jackson Merrill, Gavin Sheets and Xander Bogaerts in order. Roberts indicated in early June that the team has "no dedicated closer," and that was emphasized Wednesday, as Scott notched a hold while fellow lefty Alex Vesia struck out the side in a perfect ninth frame to notch a save. Still, Scott leads the club with 12 saves -- including three of the past five -- and remains the best choice for fantasy managers among the Dodgers' bullpen options.
Jun 9 2025Scott allowed an unearned run on one hit and struck out one over one inning to earn the save in Monday's 8-7 extra-inning win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott allowed an RBI double to Jackson Merrill in the 10th inning, but he was able to strand the young Padre at second base to end the back-and-forth contest. This was Scott's second save in his last three outings, which comes after manager Dave Roberts indicated the Dodgers are using a committee-based approach to closing duties. That was necessitated by Scott's bumpy stretch from May 20 to June 2, when he allowed 12 runs (10 earned) over six innings while converting just one of four save chances. Nonetheless, he remains in the late-inning mix. He's at a 4.11 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 35:4 K:BB while adding 12 saves and five holds over 30.2 innings this season. The Dodgers are 40-27 following Monday's win, so there are plenty of saves to go around -- they are one of nine teams in the majors so far to accumulate 20 saves as a team.
Jun 6 2025Scott surrendered a hit but recorded two strikeouts in the ninth inning to pick up the save during Thursday's 6-5 win over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After his closer status was put into question following a rocky outing Monday, Scott has posted back-to-back shutout appearances. Right back in a save situation Friday, he needed 21 pitches to finish off his 11th save, but he posted two more strikeouts to make it 31 on the season, a K/9 rate of 10.1. The 30-year-old southpaw is now 11-for-16 on save opportunities for the season.
Jun 3 2025Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said following the team's extra-inning loss to the Mets on Monday that Los Angeles currently has "no dedicated closer," Michael J. Duarte of NBC LA reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though it wasn't a save situation, Scott struggled again Monday, giving up two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk in the 10th inning to take the loss. Over the lefty's past seven outings, he's given up 12 runs (10 earned) across six frames while taking two losses and blowing three of four save chances. It's unclear how Roberts will manage ninth-inning opportunities moving forward, and while Scott may continue to notch save chances in certain matchups, more looks could go the way of Alex Vesia (who has the team's most recent save, which took place Friday versus the Yankees) and Kirby Yates (hamstring), who is on the IL but appears to be nearing a return. Michael Kopech (shoulder) racked up six regular-season saves with Los Angeles after joining the team in late July last year and could also be an option for ninth-inning work down the line; however, he hasn't yet pitched for the Dodgers this year and has an 8.53 ERA through eight minor-league rehab appearances, so he probably will be eased into high-leverage work after being activated off the IL.
May 28 2025Scott (0-1) took the loss and blew the save Wednesday as the Dodgers were downed 7-4 by the Guardians, surrendering four runs on three hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Called in to protect a 4-2 lead with two outs in the seventh inning, Scott got the final out of that frame but fell apart in the eighth, putting the first three batters aboard before serving up a game-tying single to Nolan Jones before being replaced by Alex Vesia, who promptly served up a three-run homer to Angel Martinez. While he wasn't used in a save situation, it's the third time in his last five appearances that Scott has been charged with a blown save, a stretch in which he's coughed up nine earned runs in 4.2 innings. He now carries a 4.62 ERA on the season despite a 1.11 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB in 25.1 innings, and with five blown saves against 10 successful conversions, his job at closer could be in jeopardy, especially once the likes of Kirby Yates (hamstring) and Michael Kopech (shoulder) have come off the IL.
May 24 2025Scott coughed up three runs on three hits and a walk while recording just one out Friday, blowing his fourth save of the season in an eventual 7-5 extra-innings win over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brought in to protect a 5-2 lead in the ninth inning, Scott put two runners aboard ahead of a one-out triple by Jeff McNeil, who then came home on a Tyrone Taylor single. Scott has blown two of his last three save chances, but he'd gone eight appearances without allowing a run prior to that. The southpaw sports a 3.42 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 25:2 K:BB through 23.2 innings on the season with 10 saves and four holds in 24 games, and his spot in the Dodgers' bullpen hierarchy doesn't seem to be in immediate jeopardy, especially with Kirby Yates (hamstring), Michael Kopech (shoulder) and Evan Phillips (elbow) all currently on the injured list.
May 22 2025Scott earned a save against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, striking out two batters in a perfect ninth inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott blew a save opportunity while giving up three runs (two earned) over 1.2 frames Tuesday, but he was right back on the mound one day later despite having thrown 28 pitches in that outing. This time the southpaw got the job done, throwing 12 of 14 pitches for strikes and fanning two batters en route to an impressive 1-2-3 frame. Seven different Dodgers relievers have a save this season, but Scott is the clear leader of the pack with 10 saves (no other Dodgers pitcher has more than two). As such, he should be viewed as one of fantasy's most desirable relievers despite the fact that he'll occasionally be used in high-leverage situations before the ninth inning.
May 20 2025Scott allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits and struck out two over 1.2 innings, taking a blown save in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott was called on to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning but surrendered a one-out solo shot to Gabriel Moreno. Despite that hiccup, Scott stayed in to begin the 10th and promptly allowed a two-run blast to Corbin Carroll. Luckily for Scott, the Dodgers were able to rally in their half of the 10th to help him avoid the loss. This ended his 7.2-inning scoreless streak. He's now 9-for-12 in save chances while adding four holds with a 2.42 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 23:1 K:BB over 22.1 innings this season. Scott has been the Dodgers' primary closer for much of the season, but manager Dave Roberts doesn't hesitate to utilize the southpaw earlier to protect a lead.
May 9 2025Scott struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 14-11 win over the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Since Scott's April 22 blown save versus the Cubs, he logged 4.2 scoreless innings with a 6:1 K:BB, but he earned just two holds in that span. The Dodgers turned to Kirby Yates and Evan Phillips (elbow) for one save each during that stretch, and Matt Sauer earned a four-inning save as well. Scott is more of a stopper than a closer currently, as it looks like the Dodgers are prepared to deploy him whenever necessary to protect a lead. He's still the leading candidate for saves with nine of them in 11 chances while adding four holds, a 1.93 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 19:1 K:BB across 18.2 innings.
Apr 20 2025Scott allowed one hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott put away the Rangers for his second save of the series and finished off a five-inning scoreless relief effort by the Dodgers bullpen. He's now worked seven straight scoreless innings and is tied for second in baseball with eight saves.
Apr 18 2025Scott allowed two hits in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 3-0 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott made things a little interesting by putting two runners on base with one out, but he induced a double-play grounder from Josh Jung to end the threat. Scott is up to seven saves in eight opportunities, and he's added two holds. The 30-year-old southpaw has a 2.45 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 10:0 K:BB over 11 innings this season. He's not overwhelming with velocity, but he is one of the Dodgers' most trusted relievers, so he should remain in the high-leverage mix as long as he's getting the job done.
Apr 16 2025Scott earned a save against the Rockies on Wednesday, allowing one hit and striking out three batters in a scoreless inning of work. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott was tasked with protecting a one-run lead in the ninth inning. The lefty allowed a two-out single but otherwise overwhelmed Colorado, recording all three of his outs on punchouts. Scott needed just 10 pitches to record those trio of strikeouts, and he notched an impressive six whiffs on those offerings. He is tied for the third in the league with six saves on the season and has posted a standout 10:0 K:BB over 10 innings.
Apr 14 2025Scott earned a save against the Rockies on Monday, allowing two hits and striking out one batter over one scoreless inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It wasn't the easiest save for Scott, as he allowed two of the first three batters he faced to reach base while trying to protect a two-run ninth-inning lead. However, the left-hander recovered to retire the final two batters of the frame, resulting in his fifth save. Scott has emerged as the Dodgers' top option for ninth-inning work, as he's converted five of six save opportunities so far while posting a 3.00 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 7:0 K:BB over nine innings.
Apr 12 2025Scott worked a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his fourth save of the season in a 3-0 win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw fired 12 of 16 pitches for strikes as he delivered his fourth straight scoreless appearance to begin the month of April. Scott has some bumpy performances in March, but he appears to be settling in as the Dodgers' primary closing option, although there have been plenty of chances to go around. Blake Treinen, who worked the eighth inning Friday, also has two saves, and Alex Vesia picked one up when the Dodgers opened their campaign in Tokyo.
Apr 5 2025Scott earned the save in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Phillies, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott needed only three pitches to lock down his third save of the season. After giving up a leadoff single on his first offering, he quickly bounced back with a double play and a lineout to end the game. The southpaw owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 4:0 K:BB across six innings, having received four of the Dodgers' six save opportunities so far in 2025.
Apr 1 2025Scott didn't allow a baserunner or strike out a batter in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Tuesday versus Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Facing the heart of the Atlanta lineup with a 3-1 advantage, Scott entered in the ninth inning Tuesday and induced three groundball outs on just 10 pitches. The clean performance ended a stretch of three straight appearances in which the left-hander allowed a run. Scott remains the favorite for save chances in Los Angeles and now leads the club with two, but Blake Treinen and Alex Vesia also have one apiece.
Mar 29 2025Scott was charged with a blown save in Friday's 8-5 extra-inning win over the Tigers, giving up a run on three hits in an inning of work. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Called in to protect a 3-2 lead in the top of the ninth inning, Scott gave up an RBI single to Manuel Margot with two outs to tie the score, and then nearly served up a game-winning double to Riley Greene, only for Margot to stumble coming around third and get thrown out at the plate on a play that required video review. Scott has been handed two of the Dodgers' first four save chances of the season, with Blake Treinen getting Thursday's opportunity after Alex Vesia closed out Game 2 of the Tokyo Series.
Mar 18 2025Scott struck out one and didn't allow a baserunner in a scoreless ninth inning to record the save versus the Cubs in Tokyo on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After signing a four-year, $72 million contract with the Dodgers during the offseason, it's fitting that Scott received and converted the first save opportunity of 2025. The left-hander worked quickly against the heart of Chicago's lineup, throwing eight of 10 pitches for strikes. Scott is expected to be Los Angeles' lead option for the ninth inning, but he could still have some saves vultured since manager Dave Roberts also has Kirby Yates, Blake Treinen and, eventually, Michael Kopech (elbow) at his disposal.
Feb 9 2025Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Scott will see the bulk of the save chances to begin the season, Jim Bowden of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: GM Brandon Gomes said after Scott signed in January that the left-hander won't be Los Angeles' set closer, but it appears Roberts still envisions Scott as the lead option for the ninth inning. Despite Scott's four-year, $72 million contract, it could be a fluid situation throughout the season with the Dodgers also having Kirby Yates, Michael Kopech (forearm) and Blake Treinen in the high-leverage mix.
Jan 23 2025Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said Thursday that while he anticipates Scott receiving plenty of save chances, he will not be the team's set closer, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott might very well be the favorite to nab the most saves for the Dodgers after inking a four-year, $72 million contract, but the team plans to play matchups in the late innings rather than have a dedicated closer. In addition to Scott, Kirby Yates, Blake Treinen and Michael Kopech (forearm) also figure to be in the mix for save opportunities.
Jan 19 2025Scott agreed to a four-year, $72 million contract with the Dodgers on Sunday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Shortly after landing coveted Japanese starter Roki Sasaki, Los Angeles has now also secured the top closer on the market. Scott recorded 22 saves and 11 holds between the Marlins and Padres during the 2024 regular season and finished with a 1.75 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 84:26 K:BB across 72 innings. The left-hander should open 2025 as the favorite for saves on the best team in baseball, but righty Michael Kopech could also be in the mix.
Sep 22 2024Scott picked up the save in a win over the White Sox on Saturday, allowing one hit and one walk over a scoreless 1.2 innings while striking out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott took the mound in the eighth inning with the bases loaded and one out. He got Dominic Fletcher to ground into a double play to end the threat, then returned for the top of the ninth with a four-run lead. In that frame, Scott got the first two batters to go down on strikes before allowing a single to Chuckie Robinson and then a walk to Miguel Vargas. However, the right-handed reliever managed to get the last batter to go down swinging for the final out, notching his 22nd save of the campaign and only his second this month. It also marked Scott's fourth outing this season in which he posted at least three strikeouts, and he now carries a robust 17:5 K:BB in September. Robert Suarez remains San Diego's preferred recipient of save opportunities, but manager Mike Shildt didn't deploy him Saturday after the right-hander blew a save and threw 27 pitches Friday.
Sep 19 2024Scott picked up a save against Houston on Wednesday by retiring both batters he faced, including one by strikeout. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Dylan Cease gave San Diego 8.1 scoreless frames, and Scott was brought in to finish off the Astros with a pair of runners on base in the ninth. The reliever struck out Yordan Alvarez, then got Alex Bregman to fly out to end the game. The save was Scott's 21st of the season but his first since Aug. 27, as most of his saves came while he was with Miami prior to the trade deadline. Robert Suarez, who pitched the previous three days, remains the most likely Padres reliever to handle save chances for the club.
Aug 28 2024Scott worked a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his 20th save of the season in a 7-5 win over the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw fired 10 of 15 pitches for strikes as he collected his second save since being traded to the Padres. Robert Suarez was unavailable after pitching each of the prior two days, but he's also been tagged for a run in four of his last eight appearances. If Suarez's struggles continue, Scott could get the call in the ninth more frequently over the final weeks of the season as San Diego looks to lock down a playoff spot.
Aug 11 2024Scott gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless 10th inning Saturday to record his 19th save of the season in a 9-8 win over the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Facing the club that sent him west at the trade deadline, Scott needed only 12 pitches (eight strikes) to dispatch his former teammates in the 10th after Robert Suarez had worked a perfect ninth. It was Scott's first save in a Padres uniform, and he also has a win and two holds in five appearances for San Diego with a 3.86 ERA and 5:3 K:BB in 4.2 innings. While Suarez remains entrenched as the closer, Scott has quickly found a home in the high-leverage crew.
Aug 8 2024Scott (7-5) was credited with the win against Pittsburgh on Wednesday despite allowing two runs (one earned) on no hits and three walks in one-third of an inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott entered with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning and got Oneil Cruz to ground out to preserve a 6-6 tie and send the game to an extra frame. After San Diego took a three-run lead in the top of the 10th, Scott returned but couldn't find the plate, walking three straight batters to force home a run. Adrian Morejon then took over and allowed an inherited runner to score on a wild pitch before finding a way out of the jam, notching his first save and handing Scott the victory. Despite the win, the outing was an uncharacteristically poor one for Scott, who threw only six of 18 pitches for strikes. He's given up three runs (two earned) over three appearances consisting of 2.2 frames since joining San Diego at the trade deadline but still has an impressive 1.49 ERA on the campaign.
Jul 30 2024The Padres acquired Scott and Bryan Hoeing from the Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for Robby Snelling, Adam Mazur, Graham Pauley and Jay Beshears, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott has been viewed as the best reliever that was expected to be traded at the deadline and will help give the Padres a stellar back end of the bullpen along with Robert Suarez and Jason Adam. It's not clear yet how manager Mike Shildt plans to handle the closer role.
Jul 24 2024Scott earned a save against the Orioles on Wednesday, issuing one walk and striking out one batter over one scoreless inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott entered in the top of the ninth and issued a leadoff walk, but that was wiped out when the next batter he faced grounded into a double play. The left-handed closer then got Ramon Urias to strike out to finish off the victory. The save was the second in as many days for Scott, and he extended his streak of scoreless outings to 16. Over that stretch, Scott has gone 10-for-10 in save opportunities while posting a 20:6 K:BB across 16.2 frames.
Jul 23 2024Scott earned the save in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Orioles, striking out a pair in a scoreless ninth inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott's now turned in 15 straight scoreless appearances -- he's converted nine consecutive save chances, allowing just five hits while striking out 19 over his last 15.2 innings. The left-hander's lowered his ERA to a pristine 1.24 with a 0.98 WHIP and 50:25 K:BB across 43.2 innings this season. With the trade deadline fast approaching, Scott figures to be the top bullpen arm on the market.
Jul 21 2024Scott struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott extended his scoreless streak to 14 straight appearances as he mowed down the Mets in another stellar performance. The 2024 All-Star has not allowed a run since June 13 and is looking like one of the more attractive ninth-inning options available at the trade deadline. The 29-year-old has a 1.27 ERA and 1.01 WHIP with 48 strikeouts over 42.2 innings this season.
Jul 20 2024Scott struck out one in 1.1 perfect innings Friday to record his 15th save of the season in a 6-4 win over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty fired 14 of 18 pitches for strikes as he carved up the top of New York's order. Any save for Scott could be his last in a Marlins uniform as trade rumors swirl around the pending free agent, and he's only helped his market value with a 13-appearance scoreless streak that dates back to June 13 -- a stretch in which he's converted all seven of his save chances while giving up only four hits with a 15:5 K:BB in 13.2 innings.
Jul 14 2024Scott allowed two walks over 1.1 scoreless innings and earned a save against the Reds on Sunday. He struck out two batters. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott faced a two-on, two-out situation in the ninth inning but struck out Edwin Rios to close out the 3-2 win. He's riding a 12.1-inning scoreless streak while converting six straight save chances. He's now 14 for 16 in save opportunities with a stellar 1.34 ERA through 39 appearances.
Jul 6 2024Scott struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott is on a 10-inning scoreless streak, during which he's maintained an 11:3 K:BB with five saves and a win. The closer continues to excel for the Marlins, though the team's poor performance has limited him to 13 saves this year. He's posted a 1.42 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 42:23 K:BB through 38 innings, though he's made progress to cut back on walks during his recent strong stretch.
Jun 29 2024Scott struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his 12th save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw delivered his eighth straight scoreless appearance on 12 pitches (eight strikes), and Scott has racked up four saves in four trips to the mound over the last week. The 29-year-old closer has put his shaky start to 2024 firmly behind him, and he sports a 1.50 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 38:23 K:BB through 36 innings while converting 12 of 14 save chances.
Jun 27 2024Scott earned a save against the Phillies on Thursday, striking out one batter in a perfect ninth inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott made quick work of Philadelphia in the ninth frame, retiring the side in order on nine pitches. The lefty closer has not given up a run in any of his past seven outings, tallying a win and three saves despite a mediocre 5:3 K:BB over seven innings during that span. Scott is 11-for-13 in save chances on the season and has an excellent 1.54 ERA across 35 frames.
Jun 25 2024Scott earned the save in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against Kansas City, pitching a scoreless inning while allowing one hit. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott worked around a single yielded to Salvador Perez and subsequent pinch-run stolen base by Dairon Blanco to secure double-digit saves for the third consecutive season. The left-handed closer has been especially stingy since May 1, producing a 0.84 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 23:10 K:BB across 21.1 innings. Scott has blown only two saves in 2024 and is firmly cemented as the closer in Miami.
Jun 23 2024Scott allowed two hits and a walk in a scoreless inning Sunday, striking out one and earning a save over the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott loaded the bases with two outs but managed to finish off the 6-4 win unscathed. He tossed 16 of 22 pitches for strikes and notched his first save since Jun 11. He blew his last save chance June 13 but has since turned in five straight scoreless innings. Scott has nine saves with a 1.64 ERA and a 35:23 K:BB through 33 innings.
Jun 14 2024Scott (5-5) took the loss and blew a save against the Mets on Thursday, allowing two runs on one hit and one walk while striking out one batter over one-third of an inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott was 8-for-9 in save chances coming into Thursday and hadn't blown a save since mid-April. In fact, he had rattled off 19 straight outings without allowing an earned run, racking up five wins and seven saves during that stretch. However, the southpaw couldn't protect a one-run, ninth-inning lead versus New York, issuing a leadoff walk to Francisco Lindor before serving up a walk-off two-run blast to J.D. Martinez two batters later. Despite the implosion Thursday, Scott has pitched well enough this season to not currently be in danger of losing his closing role, but that success could also make him a prime candidate to be dealt by the rebuilding Marlins.
Jun 12 2024Scott struck out three over two perfect innings Tuesday to record his eighth save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty fired 22 of 31 pitches for strikes in perhaps his most impressive performance of the season. Scott hasn't allowed a run since the beginning of May and seems to have solved the control issues that plagued him early in the year -- over his 13-appearance scoreless streak he has a 0.73 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB through 15 innings, recording four wins, four saves and a hold.
Jun 7 2024Scott (5-4) struck out two batters over 1.2 perfect frames and earned a win over the Guardians on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott entered a tie game in the eighth inning and forced a double play to escape the first-and-third jam he inherited. He then struck out two in the ninth inning before Miami walked it off in the bottom of the frame. After some early season struggles, Scott has now gone 18 straight innings without allowing an earned run. His season ERA has fallen to 1.40 with a 27:19 K:BB through 25.2 innings.
May 27 2024Scott picked up the save Sunday in a 3-1 win over the Diamondbacks, throwing a perfect ninth while striking out a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott faced no trouble from the Diamondback hitters Sunday. He sent them down in order on 15 pitches and struck out Eugenio Suarez to end the game. Scott has not allowed an earned run since April 14 and finished May with three wins, three saves and a hold in nine appearances. He's up to seven saves on the year now and carries a 1.64 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 23:18 K:BB in 22 innings.
May 22 2024Scott earned the save Wednesday against Milwaukee, allowing one hit and no walks across a scoreless inning with one strikeout. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott is now 6-for-7 on save chances this season and has added four tallies in the win column. The 29-year-old has been charged with at least one earned run in just two of his 21 appearances, owning a 1.71 ERA with a 22:18 K:BB across 21.0 innings.
May 20 2024Scott (4-4) earned the win Monday against the Brewers, allowing no hits and one walk in one shutout inning. He struck out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott gathered his fourth win by shutting down Milwaukee in the top of the tenth and benefitting from a walk-off Josh Bell single in the bottom of the inning. The Marlins lefty has tossed seven consecutive scoreless outings, notching three wins, one save and one hold with a 9:5 K:BB over 7.1 innings. Despite owning a 8.1 BB/9, Scott sports a 1.80 ERA in 20 innings overall.
May 15 2024Scott earned the save in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Tigers, allowing two hits while striking out one in a scoreless inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Tigers made things interesting with a pair of two-out singles off Scott in the ninth inning before the left-hander struck out Riley Greene, who represented the winning run, closing out Miami's shutout victory. Scott hasn't allowed an earned run in his last 10.1 innings, striking out 12 in that span. He's 5-for-6 in save opportunities with a 2.00 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 19:17 K:BB across 18 innings this season.
May 1 2024Scott (1-4) earned the win Tuesday over Colorado, allowing an unearned run on a hit and a walk in one inning. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott allowed the free runner to score in the top of the 10th inning on a two-out Ryan McMahon double before ultimately striking out Hunter Goodman to end the frame. The Marlins would then score twice in the bottom half, completing the comeback victory and giving Scott his first win this year. The left-hander hasn't allowed an earned run in his last six appearances -- he's 4-for-5 in save chances this year with a 2.84 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 12:13 K:BB across 12.2 innings.
Apr 22 2024Scott struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Sunday to record his fourth save of the season in a win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw reined in his control issues for at least one appearance, firing eight of 11 pitches for strikes as he carved up the top of the Cubs' order. Scott's 3.38 ERA through 10.2 innings masks his struggles -- he has a 10:12 K:BB and an 0-3 record, although he's converted four of five save chances. With most of the rest of the Marlins' bullpen also off to shaky starts to the season, Scott is being given every opportunity to turn things around, and as yet a change at closer for Miami doesn't seem to be in the works.
Apr 20 2024Scott earned the save with a scoreless ninth inning during Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs. He struck out one and allowed two hits and no walks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bryan De La Cruz's two-run homer in the top of the ninth gave Miami a 3-2 lead, and Scott closed out the bottom of the frame to finish off the comeback despite giving up singles to the first two batters he faced. The Marlins closer has struggled with his command early in the season, as Saturday's outing was just his third time in nine appearances without issuing a walk. Scott is 3-for-4 in save opportunities and has a 3.72 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and 9:12 K:BB across 9.2 innings.
Apr 16 2024Scott earned the save Tuesday against the Giants, working around a pair of walks while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott didn't make things easy on himself, issuing a pair of one-out walks before striking out Thairo Estrada and inducing a game-ending pop out from Wilmer Flores to grab his second save of the year. It was ultimately a nice bound-back outing from Scott after the left-hander allowed three runs while blowing a save against Atlanta in his last appearance Sunday. Overall, Scott is 0-3 with a 4.15 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and an alarming 25.6-percent walk rate through his first 8.2 innings this year. While the left-hander remains the top closing option in Miami, Scott hasn't seen many save chances with the Marlins struggling out of the gate.
Apr 15 2024Scott (0-3) took the loss Sunday and blew his first save of the season, giving up three runs on two hits and a walk in the ninth inning against Atlanta. He struck out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Called upon to protect a 7-6 lead, Scott instead served up a massive three-run homer to center field by Marcell Ozuna. It's been a brutal start to the season for the left-handed closer, and he's saddled with a 4.70 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and ghastly 7:10 K:BB through 7.2 innings. Scott's job security might be hanging by a thread, and potentially the only thing keeping him in the ninth right now for the Marlins is that no one else in the bullpen has pitched particularly well either.
Apr 10 2024Scott earned the save Wednesday, allowing one hit and three walks with a strikeout over 1.2 scoreless innings against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott has battled command and control issues, and he's also been disadvantaged by the Marlins' poor start, but he now has the team's first save in Game 13 of the year. So far, Scott has taken a pair of losses and issued nine walks through 5.2 innings this season. Scott walked back-to-back batters in the ninth inning Wednesday and loaded the bases with two outs, but he got Aaron Judge to fly out to preserve the 5-2 win.
Apr 2 2024Scott (0-2) took the loss Monday against the Angels, giving up a run on three walks in one inning without striking out a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The control issues that beset Scott during spring training haven't gone away to begin the regular season. The southpaw entered a 4-4 tie in the top of the eighth inning and immediately walked the first three batters he faced, tossing only 14 of 27 pitches for strikes. Through his first three appearances of 2024, Scott has stumbled to a 5:6 K:BB in 3.0 innings -- when the 0-5 Marlins eventually do start building late leads to protect, he may have a very short leash as the closer. Anthony Bender, who has a 5:1 K:BB through his first 2.2 innings this season, might be the top candidate to replace him in the ninth inning at the moment given Andrew Nardi's early 20.25 ERA.
Apr 1 2024Scott (0-1) took the loss Sunday against the Pirates, allowing two unearned runs on one hit and one walk in one inning. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taking the mound in the top of the 10th inning with Oneil Cruz as the phantom runner, Scott committed an error on Alika Williams' sacrifice bunt attempt to lead off the frame, and things went off the rails from there. The southpaw walked in Pittsburgh's second run but did eventually strike out the side and threw 20 of his 27 pitches for strikes -- an encouraging sign after he had some difficulty finding the plate consistently this spring and issued two free passes in his first 2024 appearance. Scott is still the presumed closer for the Marlins, although the team hasn't created a save chance yet, but if his control issues persist, manager Skip Schumaker may not wait long to remove him from the role. Five different players recorded at least three saves for Miami in 2023.
Mar 29 2024Scott struck out two and walked two in a scoreless ninth inning Thursday, as the Marlins fell 6-5 to the Pirates in 12 innings on Opening Day. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old left-hander had trouble finding the plate for most of the spring and those issues carried forward into the regular season, as Scott threw only 11 of 26 pitches for strikes in his first appearance of 2024. He remains Miami's closer for now, and potential replacement Andrew Nardi did give up two runs including a homer in the seventh inning Thursday, but Scott will need to sharpen his control if he's going to hang onto the job.
Mar 21 2024Scott didn't allow a run over two-thirds of an inning during Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets without recording a walk or a strikeout. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw had a terrible start to his spring, issuing seven free passes over his first four Grapefruit League appearances and lasting just 1.2 innings, but Scott seems to have turned a corner with his control. Over his last three games, he has a 1:0 K:BB in 2.2 innings while throwing 17 of 23 pitches for strikes. After posting career-best ratios in 2023 (2.31 ERA, 0.99 WHIP) and converting 10 of 12 save chances after taking over the closer role in late August, Scott is still the favorite to handle ninth-inning duties for Miami this season.
Mar 5 2024Scott failed to record an out and walked four batters, getting charged with three runs in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Marlins closer tossed only nine of 25 pitches for strikes before leaving the mound. It's too early to be worried about Scott, especially after he delivered career-best numbers in 2023, but he has walked a disturbing five of the 10 batters he's faced to begin the spring. If the control issues are a warning sign of a bigger issue, it's not clear who might step into the ninth inning for Miami.
Feb 17 2024Scott will make $5.7 million in 2024 after winning his arbitration case against the Marlins on Saturday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After struggling in his first season with the Marlins, Scott had a fantastic 2023, posting a 2.31 ERA and 0.99 WHIP alongside a 104:24 K:BB across 78 innings. Scott's performance earned him an extra $550,000 compared to what the Marlins offered, and he will enter 2024 as the frontrunner for Miami's closer job.
Oct 1 2023Scott picked up the save Saturday against Pittsburgh, striking out three over 1.1 innings while not allowing any hits or walks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott entered the contest with two outs and two runners on in the bottom of the eighth and was able to get the final out to hold Miami's 6-3 lead. He returned in the ninth and struck out the side to nail down his 12th save of the season as the Marlins clinched their first playoff berth since 2020 with the win. Scott has now converted his last three save opportunities and has struck out the side in two of his last three appearances.
Sep 29 2023Scott picked up the save in Friday's 4-3 victory over the Pirates. He retired all three batters faced without recording a strikeout. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott needed only nine pitches to retire three Pirates bats in order for his 11th save. The lefty reliever has excelled in the Marlins closer role throughout September. Scott owns a 1.80 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 17:1 K:BB with eight saves over 15 innings this month.
Sep 28 2023Scott was activated from the paternity list ahead of Thursday's game against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott missed Wednesday's doubleheader at Citi Field while welcoming a new addition to his growing family, but he is back in time for Thursday's series finale. The 29-year-old left-hander had been serving as the Marlins' primary closer prior to his brief absence and boasts an overall 2.38 ERA with 101 strikeouts through 75.2 innings this season.
Sep 26 2023The Marlins placed Scott on the paternity list Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Marlins will be without their primary closer for up to three days as Scott spends time with his expanding family. Huascar Brazoban (hamstring) was reinstated from the injured list to take Scott's roster spot.
Sep 24 2023Scott struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his 10th save of the season in a 5-4 win over the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty fired nine of 12 pitches for strikes while breezing through Milwaukee's 8-9-1 hitters. Scott has been mostly outstanding since taking over the closer role in late August, converting eight of 10 save chances over his last 13 appearances while posting a 1.72 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 15:1 K:BB through 15.2 innings.
Sep 19 2023Scott (9-5) blew the save, but picked up the win anyway Tuesday against the Mets. He allowed two runs on three hits over one inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old was unable to preserve Miami's two-run, ninth-inning lead Tuesday, surrendering three hits and two runs to blow the save opportunity. Luckily, Jake Burger notched a walk-off base hit in the bottom of the inning, earning Scott the vulture victory. After seven consecutive scoreless outings, the southpaw has allowed runs in each of his last two appearances. Scott is now 9-for-13 in his save chances this season, with a 2.44 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and a 96:24 K:BB across 73.2 innings.
Sep 13 2023Scott did not allow a hit or a walk and struck out one in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: An error put a runner on base, but Scott easily pitched around that to earn his eighth save of the season. He's converted five straight save chances since a blown save Sept. 1 versus the Nationals. He's also gone 18.2 innings without allowing an earned run, though he gave up two unearned runs in that aforementioned blown save. The 29-year-old has a 2.21 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 93:24 K:BB through 69.1 innings on the year. Given Scott's good performance, he should close the year as Miami's primary closer.
Sep 11 2023Scott picked up the save Sunday against the Phillies. He allowed one walk while striking out three over 1.2 scoreless innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott came on in relief of Andrew Nardi with one out in the eighth inning. With the tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position, Scott struck out Edmundo Sosa and Kyle Schwarber to preserve a 5-4 lead before working around a walk and a hit-by-pitch in the ninth to earn his seventh save. The 29-year-old Scott has emerged as an elite closing option for Miami of late -- he hasn't allowed an earned run in his last 17.2 innings, striking out 21 while issuing just three walks in that span. He lowered his ERA to 2.24 on the season with a 1.04 WHIP and 92:24 K:BB across 68.1 innings.
Sep 8 2023Scott picked up the save Friday against Philadelphia. He allowed zero hits and zero walks while striking out one over a perfect inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was Scott's fourth save in five opportunities since taking over the closer's role from David Robertson in late August. Scott has now gone 16 consecutive innings spanning 14 appearances without allowing an earned run. Scott has quietly been one of the best relievers in baseball this season, holding a 2.30 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 89 strikeouts with seven wins, 24 holds and six saves over 66.2 innings.
Sep 6 2023Scott picked up the save Tuesday against the Dodgers. He allowed a hit while striking out two over a scoreless inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott seems to have firmly established himself as the new closer in Miami, seeing the club's last four save opportunities since David Robertson was removed from the role. Scott struck out a pair of Dodgers on Tuesday, working around a one-out single to secure his fifth save in a 6-3 win. The left-hander has now gone 13 appearances (15 innings) without giving up an earned run, lowering his ERA to 2.33 with a 1.07 WHIP and 88:23 K:BB across 65.2 innings this season.
Sep 3 2023Scott picked up the save Sunday against the Nationals. He allowed one hit while striking out one over a scoreless inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott's now gone 11 appearances (13 innings) without allowing an earned run. The left-hander has gotten the last three save opportunities in Miami since David Robertson was removed from the closing role. Overall, Scott's 4-for-7 in save chances with a 2.37 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 86:23 K:BB across 64.2 innings this season.
Sep 2 2023Scott (7-4) blew the save but picked up the win in Friday's 8-5 extra-innings victory over the Nationals, giving up two unearned runs on two hits over two frames. He struck out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw couldn't stop the phantom runner from scoring in both the 10th and 11th innings, but a four-run eruption by the Marlins in the top of the 11th gave Scott plenty of cushion. He still hasn't been tagged for an earned run since July 31, posting a 0.00 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB through 13 innings over the last month, and at least for the moment, Scott appears to be the answer for Miami at closer.
Aug 28 2023Scott earned his third save of the season Sunday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning to beat the Nationals 2-1. He allowed two hits and did not walk or strike out a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reports earlier in the day Sunday surfaced that trade deadline acquisition David Robertson was being removed from the closer role, leaving Scott as the likely candidate to take over as the team's new closer. Despite pitching Saturday as well, Scott's name was called to handle things in the ninth. He allowed two singles but got Jacob Young to ground into a double play to end the game. Scott has now posted nine straight scoreless outings dating back to Aug. 2 and is having a fantastic year with a 2.55 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 83:23 K:BB in 60 innings.
Aug 27 2023Scott appears to be the most likely candidate to step in as the Marlins' preferred closing option with Miami opting to remove David Robertson from the ninth-inning role, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Marlins haven't confirmed as much, but Robertson looks to be on the outs as Miami's closer after he blew his second save in three chances in Saturday's loss to the Nationals. Robertson has blown three of seven save opportunities overall for the Marlins since he was acquired from the Mets in late July, while Scott has been far more reliable over the past month in his high-leverage spots. He has yet to allow a run in eight appearances in August and has struck out 12 while nabbing two wins and three holds and scattering four hits and two walks over 8.1 innings.
Jul 31 2023Scott (calf) tossed a 1-2-3 eighth inning en route to earning his 21st hold of the season in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott was hampered a mild right calf strain in his previous appearance Friday, but he needed just one day off to move past the issue before being made available out of the bullpen for the series finale. He served as the primary setup man in front of the newly acquired David Robertson, who tossed a perfect ninth inning to secure his first save with the Marlins.
Jul 28 2023Scott left Friday's game against the Tigers with a mild right calf strain, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw pitched two-thirds of an inning, giving up a run on two hits and a walk (JT Chargois allowed the inherited runner to score after Scott exited the game). Miami is downplaying the severity of the injury, but even a mild strain could threaten to push him to the injured list. Scott will need to show at least marginal improvement in the coming days.
Jul 21 2023Scott will remain in a high-leverage role for the Marlins after manager Skip Schumaker gave a vote of confidence to A.J. Puk as the team's closer Friday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw relievers have been trending in opposite directions lately, as Puk has given up seven runs with two losses and two blown saves over his last five appearances, while Scott has a 0.00 ERA and 13:2 K:BB through seven innings in July. Nonetheless, Schumaker will stick with Puk in the ninth inning for now, but if his struggles continue, Scott appears to be the next man up for save chances.
Jun 5 2023Scott (4-1) picked up the win in Sunday's victory over the A's, walking one batter in a scoreless eighth inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw kept the game tied at 5-5 in the top of the eighth, and got rewarded when the Marlins took the lead in the bottom of the frame. Scott has reeled off 11 straight scoreless appearances, shaving nearly two runs off his ERA in the process, and on the season he sports a 3.21 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 39:15 K:BB through 28 innings. He also has nine holds and two saves in addition to his wins, and with A.J. Puk (elbow) closing in on his return, Scott figures to remain in a setup role.
May 1 2023Scott (2-1) earned the win in Sunday's 4-3 victory over the Cubs. He allowed no runs on two hits over one inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott worked around a pair of singles in the top of the eighth inning, coaxing a double-play ball from Nelson Velazquez to end the frame. Scott had a productive series against the Cubs, recording a win and a save over two scoreless innings. His ERA still sits at a subpar 5.25 with a 1.17 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB through 12 innings. The 28-year-old lefty was expected to share closing duties with A.J. Puk and Dylan Floro coming into the season, but he's fallen to a distant third on the depth chart. There's little reason to roster Scott at this point, outside of deeper holds leagues.
Mar 29 2023Marlins manager Skip Schumaker mentioned Scott, A.J. Puk and Dylan Floro as being "in the mix" for closing situations to begin the season, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Both Scott and Floro have a similar amount of closing experience at the MLB level, while Puk, the No. 6 overall pick in the 2016 First-Year Player Draft, may profile as the most talented arm in the bullpen if he can enjoy the sustained run of health that has thus far eluded him in his professional career. The fact that Schumaker is a first-year manager makes it even more difficult to predict whether he'll end up setting on one of the aforementioned three pitchers or someone else to see the bulk of the save chances, or if he'll take a loose committee approach to the ninth inning for the balance of the campaign. Scott brings immense strikeout upside to the table and is fine to take a dart throw on late in drafts or pick up off the waiver wire with the hope that he falls into save chances, but his career-long control issues -- his 15.9 percent walk rate last season was the worst among all relievers who pitched at least 50 innings -- make it hard to envision him locking down the closing gig for the entirety of the campaign.
Mar 13 2023Scott (biceps) struck out one over a perfect inning of relief in Friday's 7-2 win over the Nationals in Grapefruit League play. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old southpaw made his spring debut over the weekend after a bout with left biceps discomfort prompted the Marlins to slow down his throwing progression earlier in camp. Scott looked plenty healthy in his outing against Washington, retiring the side with ease while generating two groundballs in addition to punching out a batter. Assuming he avoids any setbacks heading into Opening Day, Scott should be part of the Marlins' late-inning picture and could even find himself in the mix for saves, given that manager Skip Schumaker has yet to name a designated closer.
Mar 7 2023Scott (biceps) threw live batting practice Tuesday in Marlins camp, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: If he arrives back in camp Wednesday without any renewed discomfort, Scott should be cleared to make his Grapefruit League debut this Friday. He's been eased along so far at spring training because of minor discomfort in his left biceps, but it's looking like the 28-year-old high-leverage reliever is on track for Opening Day.
Mar 3 2023Scott (biceps) resumed throwing off a mound Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott has been slowed by some discomfort in his left biceps but has apparently made some nice progress of late. Assuming that progress continues, he should be ready for game action soon and could get in enough work to be ready for Opening Day. Scott is expected to be part of the Marlins' closer-by-committee approach in 2023.
Feb 28 2023Scott has been experiencing minor biceps discomfort, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott is scheduled to test the issue with a round of catch Tuesday in Marlins camp. For now, it doesn't seem to be anything overly concerning. The 28-year-old left-hander is in line to handle at least some share of the save opportunities in Miami this season, assuming his health cooperates.
Feb 23 2023Marlins manager Skip Schumaker indicated Wednesday he doesn't plan on using a traditional closer and will instead play matchups with Scott and the team's other high-leverage options, Jordan McPherson of The Miami Herald reports. "Our best guys are going to be against their best hitters," Schumaker said. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The veteran lefty led the Marlins with 20 saves last season, but control issues cost Scott the closing job down the stretch and allowed Dylan Floro to reclaim the ninth-inning role. Those two, along with newcomers Matt Barnes and A.J. Puk, figure to be in the mix for late-inning work, with Steven Okert (triceps) and JT Chargois potentially options as well. Given the sheer number of viable arms at the manager's disposal, there may not end up being one consistent save source on the Marlins this season, but plenty of fantasy value in formats that count holds as well.
Jan 13 2023Scott agreed to a $2.825 million contract with the Marlins on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old led the Marlins with 20 saves last season, but he struggled during the second half while Dylan Floro finished the campaign as the primary closer. Scott finished with a 4.31 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 90:46 K:BB across 62.2 innings and is likely to open 2023 in a setup role.
Oct 2 2022Scott picked up the save Sunday in Milwaukee, striking out two and walking one in a scoreless 12th inning in a 4-3 extra-innings victory. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott allowed a one-out walk before retiring the last two batters to earn his 20th save of the season. Dylan Floro blew a save in the ninth, resulting in Scott being given the chance to convert his first save since Aug. 23. It's been a difficult second half for the 28-year-old as he has a 5.09 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 33:19 K:BB in 23 innings across 24 outings. Floro will likely be called upon first in any remaining save opportunities.
Aug 27 2022Scott gave up two runs on two hits and two walks over two-thirds of an inning Friday to blow his sixth save of the season in a 10-6 extra-inning loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the call to protect a 4-3 lead in the top of the ninth inning, Scott instead handed the lead over to Los Angeles, and he was only saved from his sixth loss of the year when Peyton Burdick homered to tie things back up in the bottom of the frame. Scott is 7-for-9 on save chances since the All-Star break, but that comes with a 5.93 ERA, 2.05 WHIP and volatile 15:11 K:BB through 13.2 innings.
Aug 23 2022Scott allowed a hit and allowed two inherited runners to score in two-thirds of an inning, securing the save in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cole Sulser began the ninth inning with a five-run lead, but he recorded only one out. Scott had some trouble cleaning up the mess but ultimately closed it out for his 19th save of the season. The 28-year-old southpaw is now 19-for-24 in save chances this season while logging a 4.26 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 70:35 K:BB through 50.2 innings. He's been charged with three runs in eight innings across eight appearances in August.
Aug 22 2022Scott allowed one hit and struck out one batter over one inning Monday to earn a save over the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Edward Cabrera tossed another scoreless outing for Miami, and he turned the ball over to Scott with the Marlins leading by three runs in the ninth. The closer gave up a one-out single to Sean Murphy but didn't really face much stress in registering the save. Scott is prone to the occasional blowup, but he's been pretty good of late, succeeding on six of his past seven save chances and striking out 12 batters over 9.1 innings during that stretch. However, he's also walked seven hitters during that period, highlighting the most significant flaw in his game this season.
Aug 15 2022Scott allowed one hit and a walk in a scoreless inning and earned a save over the Padres on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: One day after being tagged with three runs in a loss, Scott was thrust right back into a save situation Monday. He found himself in a two-out jam but escaped with his 17th save of the year. Over his last four outings, Scott has given up seven hits and five walks across just 4.1 frames but he's converted three out of those four save chances.
Aug 14 2022Scott (4-5) allowed three runs on three hits and three walks in one inning Sunday against Atlanta. He blew the save opportunity and took the loss. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott blew the save on the very first pitch he threw, serving up a game-tying shot to Michael Harris to begin the ninth. The 28-year-old southpaw then gave up two more runs and took his fifth loss of the year. It was his first blown save sine July 13 and the first time he gave up more than two runs in an outing since June 15. Scott is now sporting a 67:34 K:BB and a 4.60 ERA through 47 innings.
Aug 11 2022Scott allowed two hits and a walk while striking out three across 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the save Thursday against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott entered the game with two outs in the eighth inning and struck out a batter with runners on first and second to end the frame. He proceeded to allow the first three batters he faced to reach base in the ninth inning but escaped the jam with a pair of punchouts and a groundout to tally his 16th save of the season. Scott has been shaky of late -- he's allowed at least one earned run in four of his last nine appearances -- but the Marlins have given little indication they are looking to move on from him as their closer.
Aug 7 2022Scott earned the save Sunday, striking out two and allowing one hit in the ninth inning of a 3-0 win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Facing the top of Chicago's lineup, Scott allowed a leadoff single before retiring the next three batters, including punching out Seiya Suzuki and Patrick Wisdom. It was his 15th save in 19 chances this season. Since taking over the closer role at the beginning of June, Scott has a 3.42 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 37:18 K:BB in 26.1 innings.
Jul 29 2022Scott picked up the save in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Reds. He allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out two over one inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott came on in the ninth inning with a two-run lead and retired the first two hitters he faced before issuing back-to-back walks to Jonathan India and Brandon Drury. Following a mound visit, the lefty surrendered a two-strike, RBI single to Tommy Pham, but he escaped the jam by striking out Joey Votto. The 27-year-old reliever has made 45 appearances (42.2 innings) this season and sports a 4.43 ERA with a 61:30 K:BB and 14 saves in 18 chances.
Jul 27 2022Scott struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his 13th save of the season in a 2-1 win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw faced Cincinnati's 9-1-2 hitters and needed only 11 pitches (seven strikes) to lock down the save. Scott had stumbled through July, posting a 4.26 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 12:11 K:BB through 12.2 innings and blowing three of his nine save chances, but for now he still appears to be manager Don Mattingly's top choice for the closer role.
Jul 13 2022Scott suffered a blown save Wednesday after he pitched one inning, giving up one run on a hit and two walks while striking out one in the Marlins' 5-4 extra-inning victory over the Pirates. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott entered the game in the top of the ninth inning with a 2-1 lead, but he walked the first two batters he faced before Michael Chavis roped a game-tying RBI double. Scott was able to limit the damage to just one run and retired the next three batters he faced including a strikeout by Ben Gamel. The blown save was his fourth of the campaign and third in his last six opportunities. Scott now owns a 4.17 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with 55 strikeouts over 36.2 innings and he has converted 12 out of 16 save chances this season.
Jul 10 2022Scott walked one batter over a scoreless inning Sunday, striking out two and earning a save over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott bounced back quickly after he blew a save and was tagged with a loss against the Mets on Saturday. He threw 11 of 19 pitches for strikes, and the lone blemish on his final line came in the form of a two-out walk to Mark Canha. Scott has now converted 12 of 15 save chances on the year, though two of those blown opportunities have come in his last five outings. He's sporting a 4.04 ERA with a 54:22 K:BB through 35.2 frames.
Jul 9 2022Scott (4-3) took the loss and blew the save against the Mets on Saturday, allowing two unearned runs on one hit while striking out two batters over two-thirds of an inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The game went into extra innings, and Miami took a one-run lead in the top of the 10th. Scott then entered to try to keep New York off the scoreboard in the bottom of the frame, and he struck out the first two batters he faced. However, Thomas Nido subsequently tied the score with a double, and Scott committed a throwing error on the following play to give the Mets a walkoff win. The blown save was the third of the season for Scott -- all of which have come since June 15. Since the start of June, the southpaw has posted a 2.76 ERA and 25:9 K:BB over 16.1 innings, so he should still have some trust built up with manager Don Mattingly despite allowing runs in three of his last four outings.
Jul 6 2022Scott recorded his 10th save of the season in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Angels, giving up a run on one hit and two walks while striking out one in the ninth inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw blew the combined shutout after Sandy Alcantara delivered another eight dazzling innings, but after he served up a bases-loaded sacrifice fly to Taylor Ward with one out, Scott got Jared Walsh to fly out to end the game. He's been tagged for runs in back-to-back appearances, but Scott still seems to have a fairly secure hold on the closer role for Miami, posting a 3.07 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB through 14.2 innings since the beginning of June while converting nine of 11 save chances and collecting four wins.
Jul 3 2022Scott (4-2) allowed a run on a hit and a walk while striking out one in one inning to earn the win over the Nationals on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott pitched in a third consecutive game Sunday and was unable to preserve the Marlins' one-run lead in the bottom of the ninth inning. However, he picked up his fourth win of the season since Miami won the game in the 10th inning. Although Scott was unable to earn the save Sunday, he's earned decent job security as the Marlins' closer over the first half of the season.
Jul 2 2022Scott struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his eighth save of the season in a 6-3 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The veteran lefty continues to get the job done as the Marlins' closer. Since the beginning of June, Scott has been scored upon only twice in 12 appearances, posting a 2.31 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB through 11.2 innings over that stretch while converting seven of eight save chances.
Jun 26 2022Scott (3-2) allowed no hits and a walk while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the win over the Mets on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw has served as the Marlins' primary closer while Anthony Bender (back) has been sidelined, but Scott was called upon to preserve a tie game in the top of the ninth inning Sunday. He succeeded and was rewarded with his third win of the season after Miami hit a walkoff homer in the bottom of the ninth. The 27-year-old has tossed four scoreless innings over his last four appearances, and he's earned a win and two saves during that time. Although Bender converted six of eight save chances prior to his absence, Scott should still be firmly in the mix for high-leverage work once Bender returns to action.
Jun 23 2022Scott allowed one hit but struck out three across a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Thursday against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott allowed a one-out single but otherwise looked dominant to pick up his seventh save of the season. He has tallied each of Miami's last six saves and has allowed three earned runs -- all in one appearance -- across 8.2 innings as the closer. Scott's 16 walks across 28 total frames remain a concern, but his 45 strikeouts indicate he has the stuff to succeed in a ninth-inning role.
Jun 21 2022Scott earned a save after recording two strikeouts during the ninth inning of Tuesday's win over the Rockies. He walked one batter and didn't allow a hit. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-hander has now issued four walks over his past three appearances, but he had no other issues Tuesday while protecting a one-run lead. Scott has taken ahold of the closer role in June and is 5-for-6 in save opportunities with a 3.12 ERA and 15:4 K:BB over 8.2 innings, though his 4.67 ERA for the campaign diminishes his longer-term prospects.
Jun 16 2022Scott (2-2) took the loss and blew his first save of the season Wednesday as the Marlins were downed 3-1 by the Phillies, giving up three runs on two hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning. Both outs came on strikeouts. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Called in to close out a combined shutout, Scott instead put two runners aboard before serving up a walkoff homer to backup catcher Garrett Stubbs. Scott hadn't allowed an earned run in June prior to Wednesday's stumble, but his 5.04 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 39:13 K:BB through 25 innings on the season make it tough to count on him holding down the closer job in Miami for the long haul.
Jun 11 2022Scott struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his fourth save of the season in a 7-4 win over the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw now has three saves and two wins in his last five appearances, as Scott emerges as the Marlins' top bullpen option while Anthony Bender (back) is on the injured list. Scott's 4.24 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 11.9 percent walk rate through 23.1 innings on the season highlight his volatility, but his career-best 35.6 percent strikeout rate -- which includes a 9:0 K:BB over that five-game stretch -- has allowed him to power through.
Jun 9 2022Scott earned the save, striking out two in the ninth inning of a 7-4 win Thursday against Washington. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott retired the Nationals in order, striking out the first two batters before getting Juan Soto to line out to end the game. The lefty has two saves and two wins in his four June appearances. His three saves lead active Marlins and no other Marlin has recorded a save this month.
Jun 3 2022Scott struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Thursday to record his second save of the season in a win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw got his opportunity to close after Cole Sulser had blown his last two save chances, and Scott didn't disappoint. The 27-year-old has a career-high 33.3 percent strikeout rate through 19.1 innings, which is certainly closer-worthy, but he also sports a 13.8 percent walk rate along with a 5.12 ERA and 1.40 WHIP. Scott will need to string together a lot more clean appearances before he can be viewed as a safe high-leverage option, and a reliable fantasy asset.
May 14 2022Scott (0-1) took the loss Friday against the Brewers, failing to record an out while giving up one run on two hits. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Entering a 1-1 game in the top of the ninth inning, Scott promptly loaded the bases on two singles and a hit batsman before being replaced by Anthony Bender, who walked in the winning run. Scott's 38.6 percent strikeout rate to begin the season is elite, but it comes with a 12.3 percent walk rate, and his 4.38 ERA and 1.38 WHIP through 12.1 innings highlight how volatile he's been. Despite seeing high-leverage work, the 27-year-old southpaw has zero wins or holds and only one save (in two chances) in 15 appearances for the Marlins.
Apr 25 2022Scott gave up three runs on two hits while striking out one and getting just one out before being replaced in the ninth inning Sunday against Atlanta. He entered with a 5-1 lead, and Miami ended up winning 5-4. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott struck out Travis Demeritte for what would have been the first out of the ninth inning with the Marlins up four runs, but it was a wild pitch and Demeritte reached first base safely. That was followed by an Ozzie Albies double, a Matt Olson sacrifice fly and an Austin Riley two-run homer. Scott got a save Saturday in a clean ninth inning and was called on a second day in a row to protect a four-run lead. He created a save situation that Louis Head converted. The Marlins seem to have a committee in the ninth inning, though manager Don Mattingly would like one pitcher to emerge as the go-to option. Anthony Bender has faltered in the role, so any of Scott, Cole Sulser or Anthony Bass could get opportunities in the short term.
Apr 24 2022Scott struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his first save of the season in a 9-7 win over Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Anthony Bender hadn't pitched since Wednesday, but manager Don Mattingly didn't look his way after the Marlins took the lead in the top of the seventh inning, suggesting the closer role in Miami is wide open once again. Scott has pitched well to begin the season, posting a 12:2 K:BB through seven innings with a 2.57 ERA and 0.57 WHIP, but the southpaw could find himself in more of a high-leverage situational role rather than as the designated ninth-inning option once Dylan Floro (shoulder) comes off the IL.
Apr 3 2022Scott and Cole Sulser were traded from the Orioles to the Marlins on Sunday in exchange for Antonio Velez and Kevin Guerrero, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott got some work as a setup man for Baltimore in 2021, and he logged 16 holds with a 5.17 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 54 innings across 62 relief appearances. The southpaw should be in the mix for some late-inning work with the Marlins this year, but he'll likely have to improve his 14.7 percent walk rate to become a more reliable option.
Mar 22 2022Scott signed a one-year, $1.05 million contract with the Orioles on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott will just clear the seven-figure threshold in his first year of arbitration ability. He struck out 27.9 percent of opposing batters last season but also walked 14.7 percent, leading to a poor 5.17 ERA.
Mar 21 2022Scott (knee) is scheduled to appear in relief Tuesday in the Orioles' Grapefruit League game against the Pirates, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott will be making his second appearance of the spring after he worked around a pair of walks to turn in a scoreless frame in his Grapefruit League debut Friday versus the Blue Jays. His inclusion on the Orioles' pitching schedule Tuesday is an indication that he's at full health this spring after he missed the final three weeks of the 2021 campaign with a left knee sprain. Baltimore hasn't appointed a closer ahead of Opening Day, but Scott and Cole Sulser look like the top frontrunners for saves among the relievers currently on the roster.
Sep 14 2021Scott was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left knee sprain. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott last pitched Saturday, allowing six runs on six hits in just one-third of an inning against Toronto. He'll be eligible to come off the injured list Sept. 22 against Philadelphia, but per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com, manager Brandon Hyde said the southpaw's season is probably over. If he is indeed done for the year, Scott will conclude the campaign with a 5.17 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 70:37 K:BB across 54 innings.
Sep 5 2021Scott allowed a hit and a walk while striking out two in 1.2 innings to earn a hold in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw was called upon for the last two outs of the seventh inning, and he remained in the game for the eighth. The 27-year-old hasn't been sharp in 11.2 innings since returning from a knee injury, allowing six runs (five earned) with a 10:6 K:BB in that span. For the season, Scott owns a 3.93 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 69:37 K:BB across 52.2 innings while adding a 5-4 record, 16 holds and two blown saves. Scott will still likely serve in a high-leverage role for the rest of the season.
Aug 25 2021Scott (5-4) struck out one without allowing a run in two-thirds of an inning, earning the win Wednesday over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Baltimore's bats came to life in the eighth inning, rallying for five runs to put Scott in line for the win. This result snapped a 19-game losing streak for the team, which has made it difficult for many of its pitchers to produce noteworthy performances for fantasy managers. Since returning from a knee injury Aug. 11, Scott has allowed two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings. He has a 3.83 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 64:33 K:BB through 47 innings this year. The southpaw has added 14 holds, so he should continue to see high-leverage work down the stretch.
Aug 11 2021The Orioles activated Scott (knee) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Alexander Wells was dispatched to Triple-A Norfolk to clear space on the active roster for Scott, who has been sidelined since July 31 with a left knee sprain. Before his brief stint on the IL, Scott had served as a high-leverage reliever for Baltimore, accruing a 3.95 ERA and 1.49 WHIP while collecting 14 holds over 41 frames. Expect him to immediately re-emerge as a factor for the Orioles in the late innings.
Aug 10 2021Scott (knee) will return from the injured list soon after throwing a bullpen session Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty has been on the IL since Aug. 1 with a sprained left knee, but his throwing off a mound suggests the injury is mostly healed. Details about Scott's specific return date should become clear sometime this week.
Aug 6 2021Scott (knee) played catch Friday, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott landed on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a sprained left knee, and the Orioles will evaluate his progress following Friday's throwing session. Manager Brandon Hyde is hopeful that the southpaw will be able to rejoin the team by mid-to-late next week.
Aug 1 2021The Orioles placed Scott on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a sprained left knee, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Brandon Hyde suggested that Scott wouldn't be in store for a long-term stay on the IL, but the lefty's move to the shelf nonetheless deprives Baltimore of one of its most-trusted arms in the late innings. Through 48 appearances on the season, Scott has compiled a 3.95 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 59:31 K:BB in 41 innings while picking up 14 holds.
Jul 31 2021Scott was removed from Saturday's win over the Tigers with a knee injury, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old entered for the ninth inning with the Orioles leading 5-1, and he was pulled after issuing two walks and hitting a batter. He was charged with one earned run, but Cole Sulser stranded the other two baserunners. Scott should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated.
Jul 28 2021Scott (4-4) earned the win Wednesday versus Miami. He allowed no baserunners in two-thirds of an inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Dillon Tate allowed two batters to reach base before getting an out, but Scott ended the threat with a fielder's choice and a groundout. Baltimore rallied for a walkoff walk in the bottom of the ninth, which made Scott the winning pitcher. The 27-year-old has a 3.07 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 59:28 K:BB across 41 innings this year. He's collected 14 holds and could be in the mix for save chances going forward.
Jul 21 2021Scott (3-4) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk, striking out two in 0.2 innings and taking the loss in Wednesday's 5-4 defeat against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With a one-run lead, Scott loaded the bases before striking out Vidal Brujan and getting Austin Meadows in an 0-2 hole. Meadows lined a two-run, game-winning single to center field, though, pinning Scott with both a blown save and a loss. Entering Wednesday, the hard-throwing lefty had held opponents scoreless in 17 of his last 20 appearances and hadn't allowed multiple runs in a game since May 24. Despite his poor performance Wednesday, Scott still boasts a 3.08 ERA and 13.0 K/9 in 38 innings and has been a bright spot in a tough season for Baltimore's bullpen.
Jul 18 2021Scott has allowed three runs on seven hits and six walks across 10.1 innings in his last 10 appearances. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In that span, the left-hander has struck out 13 batters. While Scott continues to have a troubling 6.6 BB/9 for the year, he's done better recently at run prevention. He owns a 2.70 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 52:27 K:BB across 36.2 innings overall while earning 12 holds in 41 appearances.
Jul 1 2021Scott (3-3) pitched 1.2 perfect innings while striking out four as he got the win over the Astros on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott entered in the fifth with two men on and one out after Matt Harvey surrendered back-to-back walks before he was replaced on the mound. The 26-year-old Scott got out of trouble with ease and then struck out the side in the sixth in what was his best relief outing of the year. It was the first time he's gone over an inning of relief since April 7 and the first time he's recorded four strikeouts since June 29, 2019. This comes on the heels of one his worst performances of the year after he walked three and struck out one in one-third of an inning Monday against the Astros. Scott now owns a 2.93 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 48:26 K:BB over 30.2 innings.
Jun 18 2021Scott walked one and struck out two in a scoreless inning to earn a hold in Friday's 7-1 win over Toronto. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott has allowed just three hits and four walks across his last eight innings, and he's struck out 16 in that span. After a shaky start to the year, he's found success in limiting baserunners recently. He has a 2.73 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, 39:21 K:BB and 12 holds across 26.1 innings overall. Scott will likely remain in a high-leverage role, although Baltimore's poor performance as a team has limited those opportunities.
Jun 4 2021Scott struck out the side in the eighth inning of Friday's 3-1 win over Cleveland to earn a hold. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw efficiently needed just 10 pitches, six of which were swinging strikes. Scott has strung together five scoreless innings in his last six appearances. The reliever has a 3.09 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 34:19 K:BB with 11 holds and a 2-3 record through 23.1 innings. While he's not in the mix for closing duties, he continues to see high-leverage work.
May 24 2021Scott (2-3) allowed two runs on a hit and a walk with one strikeout in one-third of an inning versus Minnesota on Monday. He was charged with the loss. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott allowed two of the three batters he faced to reach base, and Cesar Valdez allowed both inherited runners to score. The second of those runs gave Minnesota the lead, leaving Scott with the loss. The 26-year-old has given up five runs (four earned) in his last two appearances. He has a 3.93 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 23:17 K:BB across 18.1 innings overall. The southpaw has added nine holds in 22 outings.
May 23 2021Scott gave up three runs (two earned) on four hits and struck out one in one inning of Saturday's 12-9 loss to Washington. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw worked the sixth inning, but he didn't find much success as Washington racked up three runs to extend its lead. Prior to Saturday, Scott had pitched 3.2 scoreless innings over his last six appearances. The 26-year-old has a solid 3.00 ERA, but his 1.61 WHIP and 22:16 K:BB remain causes of concern for his ability to continue keeping runs off the scoreboard.
May 10 2021Scott (2-2) retired the only batter he faced via strikeout and earned the win Monday versus Boston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott struck out Rafael Devers to end the sixth inning after starter Jorge Lopez allowed a double to Xander Bogaerts. The 26-year-old Scott has allowed just one run over his last six innings. He has a solid 2.45 ERA, but a 1.43 WHIP and 17:14 K:BB suggest he's had a fair amount of luck. He's seen a mostly high-leverage work this season -- as long as he keeps runs off the board, that usage should continue.
Apr 29 2021Scott (1-2) pitched a scoreless 10th inning with one walks and two strikeouts to earn the extra-inning win over the Yankees on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott did his part in the top of the 10th inning, and Cedric Mullins produced a walkoff sacrifice fly for the win. The 26-year-old Scott has pitched well so far with a 2.53 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 13:11 K:BB across 10.2 innings. He's also racked up five holds in 11 appearances. While the southpaw isn't expected to see many save chances, he's likely to work in high-leverage scenarios.
Apr 26 2021Scott pitched two-thirds of an inning, allowing one run on three walks with one strikeout to earn a hold in Monday's 4-2 win over the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott was a bit sloppy in this outing, but Cesar Valdez relieved him and the latter was able to escape a bases-loaded jam to end the eighth inning. The 26-year-old Scott has a 3.12 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and five holds in 8.2 innings. He's also taken two losses and carries an 11:10 K:BB, so there could be some regression looming in the near future.
Apr 20 2021Scott allowed one hit and no runs in two-thirds of an inning for a hold in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott got the last two outs of the seventh inning. The 26-year-old southpaw has a 2.57 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB across seven innings this season. He's picked up four holds and two losses in seven appearances. Cesar Valdez has a decent grip on the closer job for now, but Scott remains part of the bridge to him in the late innings.
Apr 17 2021Scott pitched a scoreless inning and allowed one walk to earn a hold in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott pitched the eighth inning and successfully protected a two-run lead. The southpaw has a 2.84 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB across 6.1 innings so far this season. He's also taken a pair of losses and earned three holds in six appearances. Scott remains in the closer conversation, but he's yet to record a save.
Apr 15 2021Scott (0-2) took the loss in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Mariners. He allowed two runs on two hits and a walk with two strikeouts in one inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott relieved starter Matt Harvey in the fifth inning and got Kyle Seager to ground out to end the frame. In the sixth, Scott allowed a two-out, two-run double to J.P. Crawford that put the Mariners ahead 4-2. That was the final score, and Scott took his second loss in three days. The southpaw has a 3.38 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 9:3 K:BB across 5.1 innings this season. Despite the recent struggles, he'll likely continue to see high-leverage work in the near future.
Apr 13 2021Scott (0-1) allowed an unearned run on one hit and struck out two to take an extra-inning loss in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott allowed an RBI double to Kyle Seager in the eighth inning, and that was enough to hand the southpaw his first loss of the year. He's yet to give up an earned run in 2021, yielding just two hits and two walks with seven strikeouts across 4.1 innings this season. Scott also has two holds -- he's in the mix for saves and should see mostly high-leverage assignments.
Apr 2 2021Scott allowed two walks and struck out two in one inning to earn a hold in Friday's 3-0 win over the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Scott worked the eighth inning after John Means spun seven innings of one-hit ball. The 26-year-old Scott wasn't quite as efficient, but he kept runs off the board. The southpaw is expected to be in the mix for saves to start 2021 while Hunter Harvey (oblique) is sidelined. Cesar Valdez pitched a scoreless ninth inning Friday to earn the save, and Shawn Armstrong (paternity) is also likely challenge Scott for closing duties.
Mar 25 2021Scott is a candidate to see save opportunities to begin the season, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The absence of Hunter Harvey (oblique) until at least late May has opened the door for early-season saves in Baltimore. Manager Brandon Hyde has already stated that he won't name a closer, though Scott is seemingly a leading candidate for the role. As a lefty with 96.5 mph velocity, he certainly has the potential to succeed but will need to improve his control to perform at a consistently high level.
Aug 23 2020Scott allowed one run on two hits and no walks while striking out zero over one-third of an inning as he earned the save Sunday against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Orioles entered the ninth inning with a three-run lead, but Mychal Givens struggled to begin the inning. Scott was called on to get out of the jam, and he narrowly did so to earn the first save of his career. While the save is a nice surprise for fantasy managers, he's unlikely to receive save chances on a regular basis due to the Orioles' willingness to rotate pitchers to close out games.

Jun 15 2018Scott was called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.Scott will rejoin the Orioles' bullpen, where he's posted a 4.96 ERA and a 23:6 K:BB across 16.1 innings in 13 appearances this season. The left-hander will continue to bounce back and forth between Norfolk and Baltimore throughout the course of the 2018 campaign.
May 9 2018Scott was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.With Darren O'Day landing on the 10-day disabled list with a hyperextended elbow, Scott will take his place on the roster and in the Orioles' bullpen for the time being. In a pair of brief stints with the big club this season, Scott has produced a 5.79 ERA and 5:1 K:BB across 4.2 innings. He'll likely be used in lower-leverage spots during his time with the Orioles.
Apr 28 2018Scott was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.It's already the second time Scott has been been optioned back to Norfolk this season, and could be a relatively short stay once again. The 23-year-old has allowed three earned runs on six hits and one walk over 4.2 innings (three appearances) with five strikeouts for the Orioles this season.
Apr 20 2018Scott was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk prior to Friday's game against Cleveland.Scott will take the place of infielder Engelb Vielma, who was optioned back to Norfolk in a corresponding move. Earlier this month, Scott recorded five outs in a relief appearance against the Yankees while allowing one earned run off two hits and a walk. That was the lone major-league outing for Scott thus far in 2018, as he was then optioned to Norfolk for bullpen replenishments. Looking ahead, expect him to serve out of lower-leverage spots while he's with the big-league team.
Apr 9 2018Scott was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.The Orioles needed a fresh arm after their bullpen threw nearly 12 innings in Sunday's extra innings win over the Yankees, so Scott will head back to Norfolk while fellow pitching prospect Hunter Harvey joins the big club. Scott allowed one run on on hit and one walk while striking out one batter in 1.2 innings of work Sunday. The 23-year-old southpaw should be back with the big club at some point this season.
Apr 8 2018Scott was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.Scott will provide a fresh arm in the bullpen for Sunday's series finale against the Yankees after Jimmy Yacabonis was touched up for three runs in his lone inning of relief Saturday before getting sent back to Norfolk. Look for the left-handed Scott to work in long relief during his stint with the big club and see most of his opportunities in lower-leverage spots.
Apr 3 2018Scott may be used as a reliever at Triple-A Norfolk this season, Eduardo A. Encina of The Baltimore Sun reports.Scott had an impressive showing at Double-A Bowie last season, where he was used as a starter and threw for a 2.22 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 24 games. However, the Orioles want to have Scott join their bullpen later in the season, so the club is entertaining the idea of moving the 23-year-old back to his previous role as a reliever. Scott will look to improve his control with Norfolk, as he posted an unsightly 87:46 K:BB in 2017.
Jan 9 2018Scott will continue to be developed as a starting pitcher and will open the year at Triple-A Norfolk, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.The 23-year-old lefty has the stuff to be a dominant reliever (big fastball, power slider), but the Orioles have very few high-upside starting pitching prospects in their system, so they will shoot for the moon with Scott. He notched a 2.22 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 87 strikeouts in 69 innings at Double-A last season, but he was held to three innings per start. Developing a quality third pitch and sufficient command will be imperative for him to make it as a starter.
Sep 21 2017Scott made his MLB debut Wednesday against Boston, allowing a pair of runs on two hits and two walks while striking out one in an eventful eighth inning.In his first big-league game, the left-hander unveiled a 100 mph fastball, and a devastating slider that got Deven Marrero swinging and missing on three straight pitches. A broken bat single and a slow reaction by Scott to cover first base led to some avoidable damage. Manager Buck Showalter was pleased with the prospects overall outing, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports. "As advertised," Showalter said." About like I thought it would be. The slider has come a long way for him. ... His presentation was good. He didn't always show it. He's always been that type of guy. That's what's intriguing about him."
Sep 17 2017The Orioles selected Scott's contract from Double-A Bowie on Sunday.As planned, Scott is headed up to the big club for the first time in his career. Although he served as a starter with Bowie, where he logged a 2.22 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 24 games, it's expected that he'll work out of the bullpen during his first stint in the majors. In a corresponding move, Richard Rodriguez was designated for assignment.
Sep 17 2017Scott, who's expected to develop into a big-league closer, said being used in a limited starter's role this season at Double-A Bowie allowed him extended time to develop his offspeed pitches, Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com reports.Scott's fastball typically sits in the mid-to-upper 90s, but he has no problem clocking in at triple digits routinely. Instead of using him as a minor-league reliever, the Orioles opted to start the left-hander in three-inning stints, giving Scott five or six days of rest in between. "Well, with the short starts, you can never win, but it was good. I developed my offspeed more," Scott said. "It was a good experience and I'm glad they did it and I'll see what they want me to do now."
Sep 1 2017Scott was assigned to play in this year's Arizona Fall League, Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com reports.Scott will be making his third trip to the AFL. The lefty, who can hit triple digits on the radar gun, has been working in three-inning stints for Double-A Bowie on five days' rest throughout the season. He has a 2.28 ERA in 67 innings with 83 strikeouts and 44 walks.
