Drew Pomeranz - Latches on with DodgersThe Dodgers signed Pomeranz to a minor-league contract Friday.

ImpactPomeranz was in camp with the Angels this spring before being released prior to Opening Day. The veteran left-hander last pitched in the majors in 2021, having dealt with elbow problems the last couple years. Pomeranz has been excellent in relief when healthy, so he makes plenty of sense on a no-risk, minor-league pact.

Victor Scott - Logs steal in debutScott went 0-for-3 with a stolen base in Thursday's 7-1 loss to the Dodgers.

ImpactScott got aboard on an error in the fifth inning and immediately showcased the speed that has had him on the fast-track to the majors. He'll still need to show his bat is up to the challenge now that the games count. Scott hit .317 in spring training, but the regular season is a different beast. He'll get an extended audition while Tommy Edman (wrist) and Dylan Carlson (shoulder) are out. Scott shouldn't be too far away from a full-time major-league gig, but it wouldn't be surprising if he needs time at Triple-A since he has skipped over that level of the minors due to the Cardinals' injury problems.
