This follows a rough first year with the NL West club.
Scott signed a four-year, $72 million contract with the Dodgers before the beginning of the 2025 season.
Injuries to Edwin Diaz have kept the former All-Star in the closer's role for most of the year. Thus far, Scott has 19 saves.
Scott is posting numbers that no other reliever in the Majors can match.
Scott has a 32% strikeout rate and a 5.5% walk rate as of Monday morning.

In 2025, he struck out 25.2% of the batters he faced and finished with a 7.6% walk rate in 57 innings.

Scott has just two blown saves in 2026. Last season, he blew 10 of his 33 save opportunities.
This has been a major bounce-back season for the 32-year-old, and the Dodgers are likely thankful for his turnaround amid Diaz's injuries.
