TAYLER SCOTT NEWS

Plays catch Tuesday Scott (back) played catch in the outfield at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Scott just landed on the 15-day injured list over the weekend with a thoracic spine strain, so it's a good sign that he's already throwing again. He will not be eligible to return before the end of the regular season, but the Astros are hoping to have him available as an option at some point during the playoffs.

SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Shelved with spine injury The Astros placed Scott on the 15-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to Sept. 18, due to a thoracic spine strain.

Impact Scott has been uncharacteristically bad during September, logging a 6.35 ERA and a 4:5 K:BB across 5.2 innings. However, the poor performance could be attributed to the spine injury. Scott won't be eligible for activation until Oct. 3, ending his regular season, but he could return for the playoffs. Seth Martinez was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move.

Starting Monday in bullpen game Scott will serve as the Astros' opening pitcher for Monday's game against the Pirates, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Scott will be making his first start in the majors since the 2023, when he opened one game apiece as a member of the Red Sox and Athletics. He'll likely pitch only one or two innings in what will be a bullpen game for the Astros after the team scratched scheduled starter Jake Bloss and dealt him to the Blue Jays shortly before first pitch. Across 45 outings this season, Scott has a 1.45 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 50:23 K:BB across 49.2 innings.

Sent to minors The Athletics optioned Scott to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Impact Scott was sent to the minors to make room on the 26-man active roster for Hogan Harris, who was recalled from Las Vegas and is expected to serve as a bulk reliever for Tuesday's game against the Royals. After getting called up from Las Vegas a week ago, Scott made two appearances out of the Oakland bullpen, tossing 2.2 scoreless frames.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled Tuesday Scott was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander was sent to Triple-A on Aug. 5 but will rejoin the major-league club with Angel Felipe (elbow) heading to the injured list. Scott has a 6.60 ERA over 15 big-league innings this season between stints with the Red Sox, Dodgers and A's.

AUGUST 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A Scott was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.

Impact Scott was claimed off waivers by Oakland shortly after the All-Star break and gave up three earned runs over 5.1 frames during his time with the big club. The right-hander could rejoin the A's later on when they need bullpen depth.

AUGUST 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Serving as opener Tuesday Scott will start Tuesday's game against the Giants as Oakland's opener.

Impact After being claimed off waivers from Boston on Wednesday, Scott will make his second start of the season in his third appearance with the Athletics. The 31-year-old righty holds a 6.94 ERA and 1.97 WHIP through 11.2 frames this season and will likely pitch an inning or two before turning things over to Ken Waldichuk.

JULY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Claimed by Oakland Scott was claimed off waivers by the Athletics on Wednesday.

Impact Scott had been designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Sunday and has quickly found a new home. It's the third team the 31-year-old has been on this season, as he's posted a 7.45 ERA in 10 relief appearances for the Dodgers and Red Sox.

Bumped from 40-man roster Scott was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Sunday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact The journeyman right-hander finds himself in DFA limbo again after four outings with the Red Sox, including appearances in both of the team's first two games following the All-Star break. He had previously been designated for assignment by the Dodgers in June. Scott has allowed eight runs on 12 hits and eight walks in 9.2 innings in total this season.

JULY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opening Sunday's game Scott will serve as the opener for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Scott was recalled by the Red Sox on Tuesday and pitched an inning the same day. He hasn't taken the mound since, but he should only be expected to work an inning in Sunday's appearance. Chris Murphy will cover the bulk of the innings.

Returns to lineup Scott was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Red Sox acquire right-handed reliever Tayler Scott The Boston Red Sox acquired right-handed reliever Tayler Scott from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday for cash considerations

JUNE 22, 2023 • DEADSPIN.COM

Sent to Boston The Dodgers traded Scott to the Red Sox on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Scott was DFA'd by the Dodgers on Saturday after accumulating a 9.00 ERA through six innings, and he will now move across the country to join the Red Sox. Boston has a plethora of pitchers on the injured list, so it's possible he joins the major-league bullpen right away. Otherwise, he will head to Triple-A, where he holds a 1.37 ERA and 1.20 WHIP alongside 25 strikeouts through 19.2 frames.

JUNE 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Designated for assignment The Dodgers designated Scott for assignment Saturday.

Impact Scott has allowed six earned runs through six innings since being promoted to the majors June 3, and he has now officially lost his spot on the Dodgers' roster. Scott has a nice Triple-A statline (1.37 ERA and 1.20 WHIP) which helps his chances of getting claimed by another organization. Bryan Hudson was selected from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move and will take Scott's place in the Dodgers' bullpen.
