Tanner Scott Placed on 15-Day IL with Elbow Inflammation

Dodgers closer Tanner Scott has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to left elbow inflammation, a significant blow to the team's bullpen. An MRI revealed no ligament damage, and Scott expressed confidence he can pitch again this season. In his absence, the Dodgers are expected to manage the ninth inning with a matchup-based committee, potentially featuring Kirby Yates and Alex Vesia. Additionally, Blake Treinen is on track to return from the injured list by the end of the month and could factor into the saves discussion.
