Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Scott (elbow) has begun a throwing progression, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scott still has several hurdles to clear before he can come off the injured list, but his return to throwing is a positive sign nonetheless. The 31-year-old reliever landed on the IL last Tuesday with elbow inflammation and remains without a clear return timeline, though he's still expected back in the Dodgers' bullpen before the end of the year.

Scott confirmed after Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Twins that an MRI on his left elbow did not show any structural damage, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scott was hurt during an appearance Monday and placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with left elbow inflammation. The Dodgers haven't provided a timetable for his return, but the reliever said Tuesday that he fully expects to be back at some point later this season. Scott will not be eligible to return until after the trade deadline, and with the Dodgers known to be shopping for relief help, it's possible Scott will see fewer save chances when he does make it back.

The Dodgers placed Scott on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with left elbow inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that the team is labeling Scott's injury as "inflammation" suggests the southpaw didn't suffer any structural damage during his outing Monday, but it will still cause him to remain out until at least early August. Alexis Diaz will come up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill the open spot in Los Angeles' bullpen, and closing duties will likely be handed to Kirby Yates or Alex Vesia going forward.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Scott will "most likely" land on the 15-day injured list after the southpaw felt a "sting" in his left forearm during his relief appearance in Monday's 5-2 win over the Twins, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Summoned from the bullpen with two outs in the top of the eighth inning, Scott induced a Harrison Bader lineout to preserve the Dodgers' four-run lead. He then retired one of the first three batters he faced in the top of the ninth before he was visited on the mound by a team trainer after he was in obvious discomfort when he threw a slider in the dirt in the first pitch of Ryan Jeffers' at-bat. Though an X-ray and manual testing on Scott yielded positive results, the 31-year-old southpaw is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday as the Dodgers look to determine the full extent of his injury. With a stint on the IL likely on tap for Scott, the Dodgers could turn to Kirby Yates -- who collected the save Monday -- and Alex Vesia as their preferred options to close out games. Expect Los Angeles to also seek upgrades to the back end of the bullpen leading up to the July 31 trade deadline, as Scott is just the latest in a long line of high-profile Dodgers relievers to go down with an injury.

Scott left Monday's game against the Twins due to an undisclosed injury, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The nature of Scott's injury is unclear at this time, though he was in obvious discomfort after firing his 22nd pitch of the night. He stated after the game that he felt a "sting" in his forearm, and the team will send him for an MRI on Tuesday, per Ardaya. Kirby Yates would likely be in line for save chances if Scott is looking at an IL stint.

Scott allowed two runs on two hits and a walk over one inning, taking a blown save in Sunday's 5-2 extra-innings win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Offense was at a premium in the first nine innings, but Scott allowed a game-tying, two-run home run to pinch hitter Luis Matos in the ninth. This was Scott's second blown save in three outings, and he's been tagged for five runs over five innings to begin July. He's now 19-for-26 in save chances while adding seven holds over 45 appearances this season. Scott's ERA is up to 4.09 with a 1.14 WHIP, but his impressive control (49:8 K:BB) should keep him firmly in the high-leverage mix as long as can bounce back following the All-Star break.

Scott earned a save against San Francisco on Saturday, striking out two batters in a perfect inning.

EDGE Analysis

Scott entered Saturday in the midst of a small rough patch, as he blew his previous save opportunity Wednesday versus Milwaukee and gave up three runs over two innings across his past two outings. He got back on track against the Giants to help the Dodgers snap a seven-game losing streak, fanning two of the three batters he faced in a 12-pitch ninth inning. Scott has had some struggles this season -- he's tied for the MLB lead with six blown saves -- but the lefty remains Los Angeles' primary closer and has collected 19 saves while posting a 3.77 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 49:7 K:BB over 43 innings.

Scott was charged with a blown save in Wednesday's 10-inning loss to Milwaukee. He allowed a run on three hits while striking out two over 1.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Scott entered the game with two outs in the eighth inning and induced a groundout from Christian Yelich to strand the potential tying run on second base. However, it was a different story for Scott in the ninth, where he'd allow a run on three singles to take his sixth blown save this season. The left-hander has struggled recently, allowing three runs on six hits in his last two appearances (two innings). Scott's ERA sits at 3.86 through 42 innings this year with a 1.12 WHIP and 47:7 K:BB.

Scott picked up the save, working a scoreless ninth while allowing two hits, walking one and striking out one during Friday's 5-4 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Scott made it 18 saves on the season, but things got dicey on the way there. The left-hander loaded the bases with one out, but induced a game-ending double play to clinch the win. The 30-year-old has converted eight straight save opportunities, but has allowed five hits, walked two and only stuck out two over his last four appearances spanning 4.1 innings.

Scott walked one and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Scott has six saves and two holds over his last eight appearances, a span in which he's allowed two runs (one earned) over 8.1 innings. The walk he issued Thursday was just the fifth he's permitted all season, but he was able to erase the mistake with a game-ending double play. Scott is at a 3.55 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 41 strikeouts over 38 innings while adding 17 saves, seven holds and five blown saves in a high-leverage role.
