""It popped up probably, Game 1 [of the NLDS], I started feeling something," Scott said. "And then the off-day [between Games 2 and 3 of that series], I noticed something was really off. By the time we got back from Philly, it was just like, 'Hey, we need to get this taken care of.'""
""[The abscess was] bad timing, but healthy now, so just keep going. That's about it," Scott said. "I feel a lot better now, I'm throwing, threw a couple bullpens, see where it takes me.""
The Toronto Blue Jays will face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. Reliever Tanner Scott developed a lower-body abscess during the NLDS, first noticeable around Game 1 and worsened by the off-day between Games 2 and 3, requiring a procedure and leading to replacement on the NLDS roster by Justin Wrobleski before Game 4. Scott did not appear in the Wild Card games, has resumed throwing and completed multiple bullpens, and reports being healthy. Scott signed a four-year, $72 million deal after a prior 1.75 ERA season but posted a 4.74 ERA across 61 outings, led the league with 10 blown saves, and struggled in September with a 6.48 ERA and two blown saves, creating doubts about his reliability in high-leverage situations.
