Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Tanner Scott will be activated off the injured list Friday, per manager Dave Roberts.
Scott will be available for Friday’s series opener against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. Additionally, Kirby Yates will be activated on Saturday, an indication the Dodgers bullpen will be getting two of its biggest stars back over the weekend.
Scott was placed on the IL July 22 with elbow inflammation, but initial imaging showed no ligament damage. Roberts initially said the left-hander’s stint would be short-term, and that remains the case as Scott returns a month later.
