Tayler Scott Designated For Assignment By Houston Astros

Scott's departure leaves a spot open in the Astros' bullpen. He has pitched in 17 games this season, totaling 16 2/3 innings with an ERA of 5.40. His WHIP stands at 1.68, and he has recorded 16 strikeouts against 12 walks.

The Astros may look to other relievers to fill the gap left by Scott. His recent performance includes an ERA of 1.5 over his last three games, though his WHIP was high at 3.03. Scott did not play in the last few games against the Royals, Reds, Brewers, and White Sox.
