    With Díaz out 3 months, Scott is the frontrunner for the Dodgers' closer role. Elite left-handed reliever with swing-and-miss stuff. Add immediately in all formats — this is the biggest saves opportunity of the month.

    10-game scoreless streak with elite peripherals (0.48 WHIP, 38.9% K-BB%). The Dodgers' 9th is unquestionably his. Top-10 RP rest of season.

  • May 16, 2026·Issue #028·locked

    0.574 WHIP with 14 K vs. 2 BB across 15.2 IP since April 4. Scott is now the unquestioned Dodgers closer even when Edwin Díaz returns. Top-8 RP rest of season.

  • May 11, 2026·Issue #023·watch

    Díaz transferred to 60-day IL Sunday — Scott is the Dodgers' primary closer through at least mid-July. Alex Vesia still gets the occasional high-leverage look. The role is secure; just temper save-count expectations because LA's offense often blows games open.

  • May 3, 2026·Issue #015·committee

    Roberts continues to mix Scott with Vesia and Treinen — and continues to use Scott in losing high-leverage spots, which kills his fantasy value. Sell if you can; the talent is real but the role isn't producing.

  • May 2, 2026·Issue #014·committee

    Roberts is still mixing and matching with Vesia and Treinen. Closer Monkey notes Scott was deployed in losing high-leverage spots again — fantasy value remains low until Roberts commits. Sell if you can find a believer.

  • Apr 30, 2026·Issue #012·committee

    Roberts continues to burn Scott in non-save high-leverage spots, killing his fantasy value despite real talent. Vesia and Treinen rotate in 9th-inning roles with no clear hierarchy. Sell if you can find a believer; otherwise just stomach the volatility.

  • Apr 29, 2026·Issue #011·committee

    Still no clear hierarchy between Scott, Alex Vesia, and Blake Treinen, despite Scott's prior dominance. Roto Riteup flagged the situation as one to avoid — none of the three are reliable for saves week to week. Don't pay closer prices for any of them.

  • Apr 27, 2026·Issue #009·committee

    Gave up the go-ahead HR Friday and confidence is shaky with Díaz out. Alex Vesia lurking as the next man up. Scott still has the most saves but the leash is shortening. Hold but have Vesia stashed.

  • Apr 26, 2026·Issue #008·committee

    Gave up the go-ahead homer to Swanson on Friday after Treinen blew the save in the 8th. The Dodgers' closer situation is a mess with Díaz out. Scott still has the most saves but confidence is shaky. Vesia lurking.

  • Apr 25, 2026·Issue #007·committee

    Díaz out ~3 months (elbow surgery). Scott getting bulk of chances; Vesia has 2 saves and a 0.00 ERA in 8.2 IP as the secondary option.

  • Apr 21, 2026·Issue #006·committee

    Frontrunner for Díaz's closer role. Elite LHP reliever. Add immediately — biggest saves opportunity of the month. Vesia and Treinen also in the mix.
