""Tanner Scott looked fantastic," Roberts said. "It's one day, but the stuff, the delivery was as good as I've seen from him and that includes all of last year." "...He had a lot of stuff going on internally, with his body, that we addressed at the end of the season, so I think that might have bled into some cleaning up of some mechanics, but the ball was coming out differently than I remember it.""
"He had a 4.74 ERA through 61 appearances last season, converting just 23 of his 33 save opportunities in 2025. He had only blown six saves in his previous two seasons, and had never blown more than seven in a single year. Scott missed out on the postseason entirely, spending the Wild Card series off the roster and undergoing a procedure during the NLDS which kept him out for the remainder of the postseason."
Tanner Scott displayed markedly improved stuff and delivery on the Dodgers' first day of spring training. Scott signed a four-year, $72 million deal before the 2025 season but struggled in 2025 with a 4.74 ERA across 61 appearances and converted just 23 of 33 save opportunities. Physical and mechanical issues were addressed at the end of the season, and a subsequent procedure during the NLDS kept him out of the postseason after being left off the Wild Card roster. The Dodgers added Edwin Díaz as closer, positioning Scott for matchup-centric or multi-inning relief duties in 2026.
