Dodgers Pitcher Tanner Scott Takes Leave for Personal Reasons Amid NLDS

Los Angeles Dodgers’ Tanner Scott Absent Due to Personal Reasons

Tanner Scott’s Unexpected Absence from NLDS Game 3

The Los Angeles Dodgers faced an unexpected hurdle as manager Dave Roberts announced Tanner Scott’s absence from Game 3 of the National League Division Series due to personal reasons. Scott, a key bullpen component, was not available at the ballpark for the game against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Despite Scott’s absence from the postseason plays so far, his pitching could have been crucial during Wednesday night’s match. With LA’s reliance on five pitchers, Scott might have been a strategic choice for the eighth inning, a pivotal moment when Clayton Kershaw conceded five runs, four of them earned.

Dodgers’ Bullpen Update for Upcoming Games

As the team prepares for Game 4, Scott’s availability remains uncertain. The Dodgers are unlikely to call upon Kershaw for Thursday’s game, yet the rest of the bullpen, except Scott pending further updates, seems ready for action. Tyler Glasnow, who debuted in relief during Game 1, is set to start.

Challenges in Scott’s Debut Season

Tanner Scott’s first season with the Dodgers has been challenging, reflected in his 4.74 ERA and a league-high 10 blown saves. Despite these hurdles, Scott remains a critical component of the Dodgers’ strategy, and his return to the lineup is eagerly anticipated.
