Dodgers' Tanner Scott battles mental and mechanical issues, seeking redemption after a tough 2025 season.

Tanner Scott, the Dodgers' left-handed reliever, is working to overcome a challenging 2025 season marked by a 4.74 ERA and 10 blown saves, which led to public frustration and a controversial comment about baseball "hating" him. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts acknowledged Scott's mental struggles but expressed confidence in his adjustments, including refining his slider and fastball command, with improved velocity expected. Scott attributes his issues to command and pitch effectiveness, not the closer role. Meanwhile, Blake Snell remains sidelined without mound work, and reliever Edgardo Henriquez has struggled in spring training, allowing seven runs in two appearances.
