Scruggs was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the 50th round of the 2005 Major League Baseball Draft out of Poway High School in Poway, California, but did not sign and attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) to play college baseball for the UNLV Rebels. During his three years at UNLV he hit .328/.427/.652 with 34 home runs and 112 runs batted in. After his junior year, Scruggs was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 19th round of the 2008 Draft and signed with the Cardinals.

Scruggs called up to the majors for the first time on September 4, 2014. He made his major league debut that day, but his major league action in 2014 was brief. He started the next season at Memphis. After batting .274 with five home runs and 16 RBI in 17 games in April, he was named the Cardinals' organizations Player of the Month. The Cardinals recalled him from Memphis on June 19, 2015. Four days later against the Miami Marlins, he provided three hits and two RBI, including a game-tying double, in an eventual 4–3 win. Another three-hit, two-RBI effort followed on June 27 in an 8–1 win over the Chicago Cubs.
