Player Outlook
Tayler Scott signed a minor-league contract with Houston last offseason and parlayed a strong spring into a spot in the Astros' Opening Day bullpen. The 32-year-old journeyman tweaked his arsenal to throw more four-seam fastballs (92.7 mph on average) and fewer sliders and sinkers; the latter two combining for 80-plus percent of his pitch mix over the previous two seasons. This drastic change - cutting the usage of both his slider and sinker by 25-plus percent - produced much better results. Scott's 25.2 percent strikeout rate wasn't remarkable, but still a career-best and above league average. Unfortunately, his walk rate ballooned to 12.4 percent, suggesting his 1.17 WHIP from 2024 likely won't be sustainable. There's room for Scott to improve, but he's likely to be used in low-leverage spots by manager Joe Espada in 2025.

  • Astros' Tayler Scott: Plays catch Tuesday

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

  • Astros' Tayler Scott: Shelved with spine injury

    Rotowire
    The Astros placed Scott on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a thoracic spine strain. Scott has been uncharacteristically bad during September, logging a 6.35 ERA and 4:5 K:BB across 5.2 innings. However, the poor performance can be attributed at least in some part to the spine injury. Scott won't be eligible to return during the regular season, but he could return for the playoffs. Seth Martinez was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move.

  • Astros' Tayler Scott: Starting Monday in bullpen game

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

  • Astros' Tayler Scott: Joins big-league roster

    Rotowire
    The Astros selected Scott's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. Scott had a strong spring to win a spot in the Astros' Opening Day bullpen. He figures to be used in low-leverage spots by manager Joe Espada.

  • Astros' Tayler Scott: Inks MiLB pact with Houston

    Rotowire
    Scott signed a minor-league contract with the Astros on Dec. 12. Scott owns a rough 9.00 ERA in 46 major-league innings, but his minor-league numbers have always been good. The 31-year-old right-hander could get a look in the Houston bullpen at some point in 2024.

  • Athletics' Tayler Scott: Dropped from 40-man roster

    Rotowire
    The Athletics outrighted Scott to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday. Scott was moved off the 40-man roster after he compiled a 5.60 ERA, 1.87 WHIP and 17:10 K:BB in 17.2 innings over 18 appearances in the big leagues across stops with the Red Sox, Dodgers and Athletics. If Scott doesn't choose to pursue his options in free agency, he'll likely join the Athletics for spring training as a non-roster invitee with the hope of winning a spot in the Opening Day bullpen.

  • Athletics' Tayler Scott: Sent to minors

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

  • Athletics' Tayler Scott: Recalled Tuesday

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

  • Athletics' Tayler Scott: Sent to Triple-A

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

  • Athletics' Tayler Scott: Serving as opener Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Scott will serve as Oakland's opening pitcher in Tuesday's game against the Giants. After being claimed off waivers from Boston last week, Scott made his first two appearances with Oakland out of the bullpen. The 31-year-old will now get the chance to make his first start as a member of the Athletics, though he's unlikely to pitch more than an inning or two before giving way to Ken Waldichuk, who is expected to serve as a bulk reliever.

  • Dodgers' Tayler Scott: Designated for assignment

    Rotowire
    The Dodgers designated Scott for assignment Saturday. Scott allowed six earned runs over six innings after 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 stat line (1.37 ERA, 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.

  • Dodgers' Tayler Scott: Recalled from Triple-A

    Rotowire
    Scott was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports. The 31-year-old was just sent down Tuesday, but he's quickly back with the big club to replace the injured Noah Syndergaard (blister). Scott should operate in middle relief.

  • Dodgers' Tayler Scott: Optioned back to Triple-A

    Rotowire
    The Dodgers optioned Scott to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Nick Robertson will join the Dodgers' bullpen in a corresponding roster move. Scott has made only one appearance this season at the major-league level.

  • Dodgers' Tayler Scott: Recalled from OKC

    Rotowire
    Scott was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City by the Dodgers on Saturday. Scott will take the place of Phil Bickford on the roster with Bickford hitting the injured list with tightness in his back. In 19 appearances with Oklahoma City, Scott has pitched well with a 1.37 ERA and 25:10 K:BB across 19.2 frames. He'll be an option in the mid-to-late innings for the Dodgers while with the club.

  • Dodgers' Tayler Scott: Optioned to OKC

    Rotowire
    The Dodgers optioned Scott to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Scott avoided being optioned Tuesday in correspondence to Bobby Miller's promotion, but he will now be sent back to the minors to clear a spot for Clayton Kershaw to return from the bereavement list. The 30-year-old reliever holds an impressive 1.08 ERA and 1.23 WHIP through 16.2 innings in Triple-A but has yet to pitch in the majors this year.

  • Dodgers' Tayler Scott: Option to Triple-A rescinded

    Rotowire
    Scott's option Tuesday to Triple-A Oklahoma City has been rescinded, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. Scott was going to be the corresponding 26-man roster casualty for Bobby Miller's promotion, but Tyler Cyr (shoulder) will instead head to the 15-day IL as the corresponding move. Scott should be available out of the Dodgers' bullpen Tuesday night against Atlanta.

  • Dodgers' Tayler Scott: Added to roster

    Rotowire
    The Dodgers selected Scott's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports. Scott had posted a 1.08 ERA and 20:10 K:BB over 16.2 innings with Oklahoma City. He'll give the Dodgers a fresh arm in the bullpen.

  • Dodgers' Tayler Scott: Inks MiLB deal

    Rotowire
    Scott signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Saturday. The deal likely includes an invitation to major-league spring training as a non-roster invitee. Scott spent most of 2022 in the Padres organization at Triple-A El Paso and had a 3.76 ERA across 40.2 innings, though he also made eight appearances in the big leagues and allowed nine earned runs in 12 frames.

  • Tayler Scott: Hits open market

    Rotowire
    Scott refused an outright assignment to Triple-A Lehigh Valley and elected free agency Friday. Scott was claimed off waivers by the Phillies in September but lost his spot on the 40-man roster last week. The 30-year-old appeared in eight big-league games last season and allowed nine earned runs with a 13:6 K:BB across 12 innings.

  • Phillies' Tayler Scott: Designated for assignment

    Rotowire
    Scott was designated for assignment by the Phillies, the team announced Friday. A 40-man roster move was needed to clear a spot for Taijuan Walker, and Scott is the casualty. The right-hander was a waiver claim by the Phillies back in September. He holds a career 11.12 ERA over 21 appearances at the major-league level.
