Dodgers Reliever Tanner Scott Undergoes Surgery, Removed from NLDS Roster

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Tanner Scott has been removed from the NL Division Series roster after undergoing surgical removal of an abscess from an infection on his lower body on Wednesday night. Scott, who has not pitched in the playoffs, is ineligible for the NL Championship Series but could be restored for the World Series if the Dodgers advance. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed Scott is "recovering well" after his health issue came to light during Tuesday night's workout. Scott was replaced by Justin Wrobleski. The left-hander struggled in his first year with the Dodgers after signing a four-year, $72 million deal in January, posting a 1-4 record with a 4.74 ERA, 23 saves, and a career-worst 10 blown saves in the regular season. Despite fan criticism and Scott's own sentiment that "Baseball hates me right now," Roberts maintains patience, believing Scott will be available for the World Series.
