Astros Outright Tayler Scot Astros Outright Tayler Scot

TODAY : Scott has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A, according to Scotts . There isnt yet any indication if Scott will accept the a signment, or elect free agency. AUGUST 19 : The Astros have designated right-hander for a signment, per . Righty has been recalled as the corresponding move. Houstons 40-man roster count drops to 39. Scott was only just selected to Houstons roster yesterday and has now been quickly bumped off. Thats 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 Jesus Tinoco Jersey of the Tigers. They used six pitchers in Sundays game, not including outfielder coming in for some mop-up duty. Scott was added prior to last nights game, to give them a fresh arm. Starter allowed five runs in five innings last night, putting the Astros in a hole. They put in Scott at that point but he couldnt stop the bleeding. He allowed five more runs to score, recording five outs in the proce s. He threw 42 pitches and likely wasnt going to be available for a day or two, so the Astros have bumped him off the roster. Since hes out of options, he had to be removed from the 40-man and sent into DFA limbo. With the trade deadline having pa sed, Scott will be placed on waivers. He has cleared waivers a couple of times already this year, so its 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 wouldnt be a shock to see him back with the Astros on a fresh minor league deal a few days from now. Photo courtesy of Thomas Shea, Imagn Images Xavier Edwards Jersey
