LOS ANGELES (AP) — Reliever Tanner Scott has been removed from the Los Angeles Dodgers' roster for the remainder of the NL Division Series because of illness.
Scott was replaced by fellow left-handed reliever Justin Wrobleski.
Scott has not pitched in the playoffs and would be ineligible for the NL Championship Series if the Dodgers advance, but he could be restored for the World Series.
Manager Dave Roberts said before Game 4 on Thursday that Scott had a minor procedure on his lower body the previous night.
“I don’t know a whole lot about it, to be quite honest with you,” Roberts said, “but I do know that he’s recovering well.”
Roberts said Scott's health first came to light during Tuesday night's workout at Dodger Stadium. However, the team didn't know the extent of the situation,
