Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says his right-handed ace Walker Buehler could make final rehab start on Tuesday.
We're creeping toward finally seeing Walker Buehler back on a major league mound, folks. Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts appeared onBuehler has made five rehab starts, and while his last one was pretty, he pitched at a high altitude in Albuquerque. The results were secondary, though he did go four-plus innings. He was charged with five runs, three of them earned and struck out five batters.
In his five rehab starts, Buehler has been underwhelming, recording a 4.86 ERA, 1.68 WHIP, and a 16:9 K: BB over 16.2 innings. The 29-year-old wants to be on the mound again, but the Dodgers don't feel like he's quite ready. Nonetheless, if they change their mind, we could see the righty-handed ace return when LA returns home from their current nine-game road trip.
Buehler is currently on the 15-day IL as he recovers from Tommy John surgery. The two-time All-Star underwent surgery in June 2022, which caused him to miss the rest of that season and the entire 2023 campaign. It has been a long road for the kid from Lexington, Kentucky; however, the time is near, and it's only a matter of time before we see LA's former first-round pick don the Dodger Blue again. Will Shohei Ohtani Play Outfield for the Dodgers in 2024?
