Tanner Scott was not on the Los Angeles Dodgers’ roster for the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers, however, it wasn’t due to performance.
Scott was replaced on the NL Division Series roster ahead of Game 4 due to an emergency abscess excision surgery on his lower body. According to MLB rules, a player must miss the next round of the postseason if they are removed from a roster mid-series due to injury.
That made Scott unavailable for the NLCS, but he is now once again eligible to be on the roster for the World Series.
