Tanner Scott Expected to Take Over Closer Role with Díaz Out
RUMORDave Roberts told reporters that Tanner Scott will probably slide into the closer role with Edwin Díaz unavailable. “Probably” is doing some lifting there — Roberts left himself some wiggle room — but Scott is the obvious choice given his stuff and experience (and this one bears watching as the bullpen picture shakes out). We don’t have details yet on what’s keeping Díaz out, but the shift to Scott makes sense. I like the fit if it sticks, per the Los Angeles Times.
