Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Expected back this weekend
Rotowire
Scott (elbow) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of the Dodgers' upcoming weekend series against the Padres, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Scott threw one relief inning during a rehab outing with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, and manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Scott will "probably not" pitch again in the minors before rejoining the big-league club. Scott hasn't pitched with Los Angeles since July 21 and holds a 4.14 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 50:11 K:BB across 45.2 innings this season. He's notched 19 saves and should be back in the closer mix once reinstated.

Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Cleared for rehab assignment
Rotowire
Scott (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Scott is ready to test himself in a game environment after he cleared a major hurdle in his recovery from left elbow inflammation by throwing a simulated inning against live hitters Friday. Given that Scott has been on the injured list since July 22, he may need more than one rehab appearance before being activated, but his stint on the farm shouldn't be a lengthy one. Scott leads the Dodgers with 19 saves on the season and could step back in as the team's primary ninth-inning option upon his return, as no pitcher has run away with the closing job since the left-hander landed on the IL.

Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Faces hitters Friday
Rotowire
Scott (elbow) threw a 22-pitch simulated inning Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Scott has been throwing off a mound since Aug. 6, though Friday marks the first time he's done so against live hitters. The Dodgers may still look to get him a few tune-up outings in the minors before activating him from the injured list, but a late-August return is still on the table.
Scott (elbow) could be cleared to face live hitters at some point next week, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
The Dodgers have yet to reveal a timetable for Scott's activation, but if all goes according to plan, he could take another step forward within the next week. The southpaw was placed on the 15-day injured list July 22 due to left elbow inflammation and looks to be trending toward a late-August return.
Scott (elbow) completed a bullpen session Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Scott threw off a mound for the first time since he landed on the 15-day injured list two weeks ago due to left elbow inflammation. The Dodgers haven't revealed the next step for Scott, but he could be ready to face hitters soon and perhaps head out on a rehab assignment.
Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Scott (elbow) has begun a throwing progression, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
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.
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.
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.
