Miami Marlins closer Tanner Scott picked up his second save of the season in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Giants. Scott came in to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by three. He got the first out on a flyout, allowed back-to-back walks, and got the final two outs on a strikeout and a pop-out. Things haven't gone smoothly for the 29-year-old, as he is 0-3 and has converted two of three save opportunities with a 4.15 ERA, an 8.31 K/9 rate, and a huge 12.46 BB/9 rate. Scott ended the 2023 season to earn the closer's role to start 2024, but walks have been an issue throughout his career. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out to see if he can get them back under control.

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Tanner Scott had another rough outing on Sunday, blowing the save and taking the loss in a 9-7 defeat at the hands of the Atlanta Braves. Scott allowed a crushing two-out, three-run homer to Marcell Ozuna in the ninth that flipped this game on its head. Scott has struggled severely so far this season and might be in danger of losing the closer role if he can't figure things out quickly. Fortunately for him, no one else in the Marlins pen looks worthy of the spot either, so he might be given a few more chances.

Miami Marlins closer Tanner Scott took the loss in a 9-7 extra-inning defeat against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Scott was tasked with the 10th inning of a tied game but allowed a hit, a walk, and committed an error. This led to two Pirates runs, which was enough to saddle Scott with the loss. The walks are a big concern for the 29-year-old, who has never had much command in his career, although he was able to control his pitches better last season. He has now walked three hitters in two innings so far this season, and if he continues down this path he could relinquish the closer role.

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Tanner Scott won his arbitration case over the Miami Marlins, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB Network. There was a $550,000 delta between the two sides, with Miami wanting to pay Scott $5.15 million, and the closer wanting $5.7 million. The 29-year-old will be a free agent after this season and is certainly worth the salary he will make given what he provided last year for Miami. He compiled a 2.31 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, and 104:24 K/BB over 78 innings to go along with 12 saves. He should open the year as the Marlins' closer and is therefore worth securing in upcoming fantasy drafts.

Miami Marlins left-handed reliever Tanner Scott was reinstated from the paternity list in time for Thursday's game against the New York Mets. The Marlins optioned left-hander Enmanuel De Jesus to the minors in a corresponding move. Scott only ended up missing the team's doubleheader on Wednesday and will now be back for potential save chances the rest of the week as the Marlins look to secure the final wild-card spot in the National League. The 29-year-old southpaw should return to primary closing duties for the Fish. In his second year with the team, Scott has a 2.38 ERA (2.21 FIP), 1.02 WHIP, 10 saves, 24 walks and a career-high 101 strikeouts in 75 2/3 relief innings. He has 30 saves in the last two years in Miami.

The Miami Marlins placed relief pitcher Tanner Scott on the paternity list on Tuesday and reinstated right-hander Huascar Brazoban (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. It's a tough break for the Marlins as they compete for the final wild-card spot in the National League in the final week of the regular season, and they'll now be without their primary closer for at least the next three days. Miami's contest against the New York Mets was postponed on Tuesday, so the Fish will have a doubleheader on Wednesday. If any save situations arise for the Marlins in the next couple days, Andrew Nardi, A.J. Puk and David Robertson are all candidates to be called upon to close out extremely important games.

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Tanner Scott was asked to hold a one-run lead versus the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday. The left-hander had struggled in each of his last two outings heading into this game. Luckily, Scott was able to get back on track and throw a perfect ninth inning in the victory over the Brewers. He just recently gained fantasy value as a closer, but has been a valuable reliever all season long. Scott holds a 2.41 ERA with 98 strikeouts in 71 appearances so far.

Miami Marlins closer Tanner Scott blew his fourth save of the season but earned his ninth win in Tuesday's 4-3 game against the Mets. Scott came in to pitch the top of the ninth up by two. He allowed a double and a single before getting the first and second outs on groundouts. He then allowed a game-tying, two-RBI double before getting the final out on another groundout. The Marlins were able to walk it off in the bottom half of the inning, making Scott the pitcher of record. While he has pitched well since taking over as the team's closer, Scott has allowed runs in back-to-back performances. Still, fantasy managers should consider giving him a bit of a leash for the rest of the season given his strong overall performance.

Miami Marlins closer Tanner Scott fell to 8-5 in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Mets. Scott came in to pitch the top of the ninth inning with the game tied 1-1. He allowed a leadoff, go-ahead home run before getting the first out on a strikeout, allowing a single, having another runner reach on an error, and getting the final two outs on a pop-out and a strikeout. The Marlins weren't able to equalize in the bottom half, making Scott the losing pitcher of record. Despite this, Scott has been strong since taking over the closer's role and has nine saves with a 2.23 ERA and 11.89 K/9 rate on the season. With the Marlins in the thick of the playoff hunt, Scott should provide plenty of fantasy value down the stretch.

Miami Marlins left-handed reliever Tanner Scott picked up a massive five-out save on Sunday, closing the door on the Philadelphia Phillies in a 5-4 win. Scott was brought in with one out in the eighth and runners at second and third. He proceeded to strike out the next two batters and then worked around a hit batter and a walk in the ninth to get a huge win for the fish. The 29-year-old has been excellent all season, pitching to a 2.24 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 92 strikeouts in 68 IP, and certainly deserves this shot at the closer role. He now has the Marlins' last five saves and should continue to be a must-roster reliever down the stretch.

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Tanner Scott converted his fifth save of the season in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Dodgers. Scott came in to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by three. He got the first out on a strikeout, allowed a single, got the second out on a pop-out, and ended the game with another strikeout. The 29-year-old appears to have replaced David Robertson as the team's closer and has pitched well this season with a 2.33 ERA and a 12.06 K/9 rate. Given his strikeout upside and the fact that he spent time closing last season, Scott appears to be a must-roster fantasy reliever down the stretch.

Miami Marlins left-handed pitcher Tanner Scott threw a scoreless ninth inning to pick up his fourth save on Sunday in a 6-4 win over the Washington Nationals. Scott allowed just a hit while striking out one. It appears that the Marlins have settled on the lefty as their go-to guy in the ninth, with Scott getting all three of their save opportunities since the team decided to move David Robertson out of the role. The 29-year-old has a strong 2.37 ERA and 1.07 WHIP to go with 86 strikeouts in 64 IP. He should be rostered in all leagues where saves matter.

Miami Marlins reliever Tanner Scott (calf) left Friday's game against Detroit. The 29-year-old lasted less than an inning, allowing two hits and a run before exiting with a calf strain. Scott, who is 4-3 with 19 holds and two saves in 2023, will likely undergo testing. However, a potential stint on the injured list will only impact a small group of fantasy managers.

Miami Marlins reliever Tanner Scott allowed one hit while striking out two across a scoreless inning to earn his second save in Saturday's 7-6 win over the Chicago Cubs. He entered the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead. The 28-year-old allowed a single to Seiya Suzuki but bounced back by striking out the next two hitters he faced to earn his second save of the year. A.J. Puk is Miami's primary closer but had pitched in back-to-back days, so the Marlins turned to Scott for the team's save chance on Saturday. Scott owns a 5.73 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 12 strikeouts over 11 innings in 2023, and he mainly holds value in leagues that reward saves and holds.

Miami Marlins relief pitchers Tanner Scott, Dylan Floro and A.J. Puk are "in the mix" for closing situations this year, according to manager Skip Schumaker. Floro is expected to be the favorite for saves in Miami after picking up 25 saves for the team over the last two seasons. Scott and Puk are left-handers, and Scott had a career-high 20 saves for the Fish in 2022. Both southpaws have intriguing strikeout upside and are worth speculating on for saves/holds in the back of Miami's bullpen in deeper fantasy leagues. This will probably be a frustrating situation to follow in fantasy, especially with Schumaker being a first-time manager at the big-league level in 2023. Puk was dominant in spring training but has the least closing experience of the trio.

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Tanner Scott (biceps) is throwing live batting practice on Tuesday. If he comes out of the session well, Scott will make his Grapefruit League debut on Friday. The 28-year-old left-hander has been slightly behind the other pitchers in camp due to left biceps discomfort, but as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks, he should be ready for Opening Day. The Marlins will roll into the regular season with a closer committee, so Scott could have some save opportunities alongside Dylan Floro, Matt Barnes and potentially A.J. Puk. Scott struck out 90 hitters in 62 2/3 innings, but he also had a bloated 15.9 percent walk rate. He had a career-high 20 saves in 2022. If you can live with the walks, Scott will be useful for K's and holds.

Miami Marlins relief pitchers A.J. Puk (groin) and Tanner Scott (biceps) have resumed throwing off a mound in camp on Friday. Puk is dealing with left adductor tightness in spring training after being acquired in a trade from the Oakland Athletics, while Scott is dealing with a left biceps injury. The Marlins aren't naming a set closer as they head into the 2023 campaign, so both Puk and Scott could be in play for save opportunities for the Fish this year in the early portion if they can get healthy before Opening Day. They both have plenty of time to avoid the injured list to begin the year.

The Miami Marlins and relief pitcher Tanner Scott avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.825 million deal on Friday. Scott had a career-high 20 saves in his first season in Miami in 2022, but he also had a 4.31 ERA (3.67 FIP), 1.61 WHIP, 31.1 percent strikeout rate and didn't finish the regular season as the team's primary closer. Because of the way things ended last year in Miami's bullpen, Dylan Floro, not Scott, is expected to open the 2023 season as the team's primary closing option. It's bad news for Scott's fantasy appeal in drafts this spring. The 28-year-old reliever had one career save entering 2022 and has a 4.61 career ERA (3.91 FIP), 1.56 WHIP and 29.9 percent strikeout rate in six major-league seasons.

Miami Marlins closer Tanner Scott picked up his 18th save of the season in Monday's 3-0 win over the Athletics. Scott came in to pitch the ninth inning with a three-run lead. He got the first out on a groundout, allowed a single, got the second out on a force out at second, and got the final out on a strikeout. Scott has not pitched all that well this season but has maintained his closer role and has converted all but five save opportunities with a 4.32 ERA, 12.60 K/9 rate, and 6.30 BB/9 rate. The numbers aren't the prettiest, but fantasy managers can probably live with them given Scott's job security.

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Tanner Scott earned his 17th save of the season in Monday's 3-0 win over the Padres. Scott came in to close things out with a three-run lead. He got the first two outs on a groundout and a flyout, allowed a walk and a single, but then got the final out on a lineout. Scott hasn't been particularly effective this season but has converted 17 of 22 save opportunities and appears to be the team's preferred option to close games out for now. As such, Scott is worth a roster spot in at least roto leagues for managers who can stomach his 4.50 ERA and 6.56 BB/9 rate.
