""I don't know that. There could be a big spot in the seventh that I feel could be the game. I do feel comfortable with a handful of guys, really, that I feel can close out games for us. Right now, I'm not going to name a closer.""
""I would say probably Tanner Scott, if I had to guess. Probably Tanner. And that could change. I honestly don't know. Tanner could pitch in the seventh tonight, and Blake could get the save. So honestly, it's kind of day-to-day for me. It really is.""
""It does change [how the bullpen is used] in a big way. I think being able to deploy guys in their right lanes or pockets, I think has been helpful. But with that, I do think Alex has been throwing the baseball really well, Tanner has been throwing the baseball really well, and outside of [Sunday] Blake has been throwing the baseball really well.""
""But it does kind of not allow us to work from the backend, which is certainly a luxury.""
Edwin Díaz has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to loose bodies in his right elbow, necessitating surgery. This injury affects the Dodgers' bullpen, but the team possesses a strong group of relievers, including Tanner Scott and Blake Treinen. Manager Dave Roberts indicated that Scott is likely to take on the closer role, although he may also be used in high-leverage situations. The injury complicates bullpen management, limiting the team's ability to utilize relievers optimally.
