Orioles Option Tanner Scott

By George Miller | June 30, 2019 at 4:36pm CDT

Following today’s game, the Orioles have optioned left-handed pitcher Tanner Scott to Triple-A, reports Roch Kubatko of MASN on Twitter. Presumably, the move opens a roster spot for the club to add a starter for tomorrow night’s game, though specifics are not yet known.

Scott, just 24 years old, has functioned in a bullpen role for the Orioles this season. In his young career, the southpaw has displayed flashy strikeout stuff, notching 96 K’s in just 66 1/3 innings of work, good for a 13.0 average per nine innings. That’s the carrying tool for a youngster who profiles as a pure relief arm with potential to grow into a high-leverage role for the O’s, though he’s yet to actualize that potential: despite the high strikeout numbers, Scott has managed just a 5.56 ERA in his career, which has spanned parts of three seasons.

Though the corresponding move has not been officially announced, Kubatko additionally suggests (via Twitter) that Tom Eshelman could be the one to get the call for tomorrow night’s series opener against the Rays. Notably, though, Eshelman is not on the Orioles’ 40-man roster, meaning that an additional move would be required to clear a spot for him on the 40-man.

    Wotherspoon DFA and Eshelman coming up. Or rogers goes to the 60 day. Maybe both.

    Rogers to the 60 day is more likely. The O’s aren’t going to cut loose an optionable bullpen arm unless it’s a last resort.

      I tend to agree though we’ve DFA’d wotherspoon once before and quite frankly I don’t believe anyone is going to claim him. There are some guys who were recently DFA’d that I wouldn’t be surprised to see Wotherspoon get DFA’d for.

        Specifically wisler from San Diego. If no one in the NL shoots a claim for this guy I can’t imagine we pass.

    Ummm, in 11.1 innings this season, Scott has 18 Ks and 11 walks. Why ignore those BBS? And His 5.56 ERA-like every reliever’s ERA-ignores inherited runners that score.
    He’s a tease.

    Sounds like a MIAMI guy! Jeter step up and grab him before he Chapman’s the league. Been hit on this guy for years. Once a hard throwing starter great relief potential. Mark my words, will be a stud!
