2024 Fantasy Outlook
Scott finally put all the pieces together in 2023. The southpaw established career-highs across multiple categories, including 74 games played (2nd in the NL), 78.0 innings (6th among relievers), 9 wins (T-3rd) and 104 strikeouts (3rd). Perhaps most notably, he significantly improved his control, cutting his walk rate (7.8%) in half while producing a career-best 0.99 WHIP. He went from having a bottom five WHIP among relief pitchers in 2022, to 14th in the category. Scott's strikeout upside was already elite, but he improved with a personal best 33.9% K% and 17.8% SwStr%. His 26.1% K-BB% with 5th-highest among qualified relievers, while his 4.90 WPA was the highest. He also recorded double-digit saves (12) for the 2nd straight year. The biggest question mark is whether or not Scott can sustain this level of success? Strikeouts are a lock, but will the ratios plummet? It's a risk that might be worth taking, even with Scott yielding a much higher ADP in 2024 drafts. Read Past Outlooks
Nails down save No. 20
Scott worked a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his 20th save of the season in a 7-5 win over the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
The southpaw fired 10 of 15 pitches for strikes as he collected his second save since being traded to the Padres. Robert Suarez was unavailable after pitching each of the prior two days, but he's also been tagged for a run in four of his last eight appearances. If Suarez's struggles continue, Scott could get the call in the ninth more frequently over the final weeks of the season as San Diego looks to lock down a playoff spot.

Brad Johnson examines which pitchers might be worth a look during the season's final month, starting with the Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who is expected to return from an extended absence.
The trade deadline shook up rosters around the league and provided plenty of pickup opportunities, including probable Angels closer Ben Joyce.
Several big-name relievers changed teams at the deadline, with closers like Tanner Scott and Carlos Estevez heading into unclear situations with their new teams.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2019
Scott was traded to Miami a few days before Opening Day and it didn't take long for him to emerge as the Marlins' top lefty. He struck out 90 over 62.2 innings for a 31.1% strikeout rate that was 25th among relief pitchers. However, Scott still had trouble locating his slider and 97 mph fastball. His 15.9% walk rate was worst among qualified relievers, while his 1.61 WHIP was bottom five for the category. Despite these persistent issues, Scott managed to record a career-high 20 saves for the Marlins, serving as the team's closer for a three-month stretch during the summer. Dylan Floro took over for the final month, though, and seems like the logical favorite to close to begin 2023. Scott may still get the occasional chance, but he continues to allow far too many baserunners to get another extended look as closer -- unless new manager, Skip Schumaker, values his strikeouts above all else.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Top NL reliever for July
Scott was named the National League Reliever of the Month for July on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The left-hander is now on the Padres, but all nine of his appearances in July came while he was still with the Marlins. Scott didn't allow a run and had a 15:4 K:BB across 9.2 innings, which extended his scoreless streak to 17 appearances. That run came to an end during his debut for San Diego, as he allowed a solo homer Saturday versus Colorado. Robert Suarez picked up the save in that context, and it appears he'll stick as the Friars' closer despite the acquisition of Scott.
