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.

NEW: 15-day IL with left shoulder discomfort. Dreyer had been the Dodgers' primary lefty setup arm. Paul Gervase recalled to fill the bullpen slot. Shoulder issues in relievers are notoriously hard to predict — expect 4-8 weeks at minimum.

Pitcher List's priority SP add. Ryan is the next-up Dodgers SP with Snell out for elbow surgery. Triple-A line is 2.41 FIP / 23% K-BB, and his fastball velocity is up 2+ mph from prior years. Expected MLB recall within the week. Top-50 SP rest of season ceiling once he locks the rotation spot.

NEW: 15-day IL retroactive to May 12 with left elbow loose bodies. Surgery is now the expected path — pushing his return to August at the earliest, possibly September. Dodgers have rotation depth (Wrobleski, Yamamoto, Sheehan) so no rush. Drop in standard formats.

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.

Started @ Los Angeles Angels (0W-1L, 12.00 ERA)

STATUS UPDATE: Will not return when first eligible on May 22 — back spasms haven't responded as hoped. MRI was clean but the Dodgers are playing it cautious with October in mind. No new timeline; realistic return early June at the earliest.

STATUS UPDATE: Transferred from 15-day to 60-day IL after April 20 surgery to remove loose bodies from right elbow. Not expected back until the second half — realistic return is mid-to-late July. Wyatt Mills called up to fill 40-man spot.

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.

NEW: 15-day IL with a left foot bone spur. Stewart had been a high-leverage option in the Dodgers' bullpen. Bone spurs in the foot can drag on weeks and the Dodgers will likely manage this carefully. Paul Gervase recalled.

STATUS UPDATE: Transferred from 10-day to 60-day IL while continuing to recover from offseason ankle surgery. This is procedural — Edman wasn't going to be back before mid-summer anyway. The Dodgers needed the 40-man spot. Drop in 12-team redraft if you've been holding.

Started vs Atlanta Braves (0W-0L, -.-- ERA)

NEW: 15-day IL with low back spasms. Pitched only 1 IP Wednesday before being pulled with the back tightening up. MRI came back clean — no structural concern. The Dodgers are playing the long game with October in mind; expected to miss only one or two starts but no firm timeline given. Snell activated to fill the rotation spot tonight.

NEW: Exited Wednesday's start vs. Houston after 1 inning with lower back pain. Felt his back 'gave out' warming up for the 2nd. MRI scheduled when the team returns to LA. Roberts said no IL stint expected; Glasnow described it as a spasm. Was 2-0 with a 2.72 ERA before exiting.

OBP 0.266 → .327 (Δ +0.061)

Started @ Houston Astros (3W-0L, 2.56 ERA)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Started vs Miami Marlins (3W-0L, 2.45 ERA)

POSITIVE UPDATE: Betts (oblique, IL since April 5) could begin a minor-league rehab assignment as soon as the May 1-3 weekend. Realistic return around May 5-8. Dave Roberts remains hopeful for a return ahead of the standard 4-6 week oblique timeline.

POSITIVE UPDATE: Betts (oblique, IL since April 5) could begin a minor-league rehab assignment as soon as the May 1-3 weekend per MLB.com. That puts a realistic return around May 5-8 — roughly 4-5 weeks total. Dave Roberts has said the team is hopeful for a return ahead of the standard 4-6 week oblique timeline.

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.

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.
