"Coming off a season in which they heavily relied on their bullpen en route to winning the World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers looked to fortify that group by signing Kirby Yates and Tanner Scott. Scott joined the Dodgers on a four-year contract while Yates was only signed for the 2025 season. He was coming off an impressive year with the Texas Rangers and figured to be among the high-leverage options the Dodgers leaned on."
"Yates appeared in 50 games for the Dodgers, going 4-3 with three saves, a 5.23 ERA, 4.76 FIP and 1.33 WHIP. He spent three stints on the 15-day injured list, with two of those due to a right hamstring strain. When Yates signed with the Dodgers, he expressed excitement over being able to contribute on a World Series contender. However, injuries and inconsistent performance resulted in the veteran not being included on any of the Dodgers' postseason rosters."
The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Kirby Yates and Tanner Scott to reinforce a bullpen that anchored a World Series run. Scott joined on a four-year contract while Yates signed only for the 2025 season after a strong year with the Texas Rangers and was expected to provide high-leverage relief. Yates appeared in 50 games for the Dodgers, posting a 4-3 record with three saves, a 5.23 ERA, 4.76 FIP and 1.33 WHIP, and endured three stints on the injured list, including two for a right hamstring strain. Injuries and uneven performance kept Yates off postseason rosters, his final Dodgers appearance coming on Sept. 20. Yates reached free agency again and agreed to a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Angels pending a physical.
