Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler is given extra rest before his next start as he works to regain form after Tommy John surgery.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are trying a new approach with Walker Buehler by giving him extra rest before his next start.
Before the team's 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday, manager Dave Roberts announced that he was switching Jack Flaherty and Buehler in the rotation for the upcoming series against the Baltimore Orioles.The Dodgers are flipping Jack Flaherty and Walker Buehler in the rotation. Flaherty goes Tuesday, then Buehler on Wednesday. Dave Roberts said they want to give Buehler an extra day.
When asked if he would accept being left out of the postseason rotation, Buehler acknowledged the possibility."There’s just not a whole lot to talk about, I have a six ERA... Free agency is for talking about when you have a two-five and you’re rolling through the league. I really don’t care.""it’s not going to be easy for me, and I’m not going to go down lightly. I feel like I can compete in the major leagues and in big games.
Buehler, who will become a free agent after this season, remains focused on making a significant impact with at least one more start before discussing his future.. “I have a six ERA. I’m trying to figure out how to get people out in the major leagues. Free agency is for talking about when you have a two-five and you’re rolling through the league. I really don’t care. To be honest, I’ve played here my whole career. I love playing here. We’ve won a World Series here.
