Walker Buehler A Candidate To Hit The Injured List
5 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers right-hander Walker Buehler (hip) said there have been talks about him getting some sort of "blow," perhaps a week but maybe up to a month, amid his struggles so far this season in his return from Tommy John surgery last year. Buehler also took a comebacker off his hip in his start at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night that manager Dave Roberts said they had some "concern" about. An injured-list stint is possible for Buehler, according to Roberts, but the team will evaluate him in the coming days. The 29-year-old allowed seven runs on seven hits while walking one and striking out just two in four innings for a no-decision in Colorado on Tuesday to raise his season ERA to 5.84 and his season WHIP to 1.51 on the year in his eight starts (37 innings). If he does make his next start, it will be a great matchup against the White Sox, but it's hard to recommend starting Buehler right now.
