Astros Outright Tayler Scott

By Darragh McDonald | August 23, 2025 at 9:35am CDT

TODAY: Scott has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A, according to Scott’s MLB.com profile page.  There isn’t yet any indication if Scott will accept the assignment, or elect free agency.

AUGUST 19: The Astros have designated right-hander Tayler Scott for assignment, per Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle. Righty Logan VanWey has been recalled as the corresponding move. Houston’s 40-man roster count drops to 39.

Scott was only just selected to Houston’s roster yesterday and has now been quickly bumped off. That’s a reflection of the club getting trounced two games in a row. On Sunday, they lost 12-0 to the Orioles. Yesterday, it was a 10-0 defeat at the hand of the Tigers.

They used six pitchers in Sunday’s game, not including outfielder Chas McCormick coming in for some mop-up duty. Scott was added prior to last night’s game, to give them a fresh arm. Starter Spencer Arrighetti allowed five runs in five innings last night, putting the Astros in a hole. They put in Scott at that point but he couldn’t stop the bleeding. He allowed five more runs to score, recording five outs in the process.

He threw 42 pitches and likely wasn’t going to be available for a day or two, so the Astros have bumped him off the roster. Since he’s out of options, he had to be removed from the 40-man and sent into DFA limbo.

With the trade deadline having passed, Scott will be placed on waivers. He has cleared waivers a couple of times already this year, so it’s fair to expect that he will do so again. He was able to post a 2.23 earned run average last year but that has ballooned to 7.90 here in 2025. The other times he cleared waivers, he elected free agency and signed minor league deals, one with the Diamondbacks and one with the Astros. It wouldn’t be a shock to see him back with the Astros on a fresh minor league deal a few days from now.

    I’d DFA him too- he has an arm growing out of his back facing the wrong direction for Chrissakes.

    Yeah, it’s not a good look when the manager has to pull his mop-up guy.

    Oh my goodness. We need to find another high leverage righty, because Scott and Dubin are (were) getting lit up

    What an awkward picture. Looks like his arm is coming out of his side.
