Here are three things for MLBTR readers to keep an eye out for today:  1. Scott to undergo MRI:  In last nights win over the Twins,  exited the game after he felt what manager Dave Roberts described as a sting in his forearm. Roberts told reporters (including ) that Scott was set to undergo an MRI exam today, but that he views a trip to the injured list due to the i sue as  more than likely.  Scott, who celebrates his 31st birthday today, has a 4.14 ERA and 19 saves in his first season as a member of the Dodgers. He signed a $72MM deal in free agency with the club over the winter. Its been a fairly disappointing first year in Los Angeles, but if Scott winds up mi sing significant time due to this forearm i sue, that will only serve to exacerbate the clubs need for bullpen help in the final days before the trade deadline on July 31. The Dodgers have already been this summer.  2. Brewers streak continues:  The  Josh Okogie Jersey Brewers incredible surge to the top of the NL Central division is complete, as they put up a 6-0 victory over the Mariners on a night where the previously division-leading Cubs surrendered 12 runs in a clunker against the Royals. That 11th consecutive victory (in conjunction with Chicagos lo s) not only put the Brew Crew in sole po se sion of first place for the first time all season  it gave them the best record in all of baseball.
