Dodgers Pitching Coach Reveals What Tanner Scott Needs to Improve Amid Struggles

The Los Angeles Dodgers are no strangers to pitching injuries this season, but something just as frustrating as an All-Star being moved to the injured list, is an All-Star underperforming.

When Tanner Scott inked a four-year, $72 million contract this offseason, it was largely due to his 1.75 ERA over 72 innings last season. So far in 2025, the recently formidable bullpen arm isn’t as recognizable, sporting a 4.56 ERA with five blown saves in 27 appearances.

Scott still has a team-leading 10 saves, as well as 28 strikeouts to just three walks on the year, but Dodgers pitching coach Mark Prior spoke honestly about his closer.
