Walker Buehler Nearing Spring Debut
6 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler, who revealed that his arm "didn't feel right" when he reported to spring training, threw two innings of batting practice on Wednesday and expects to make his spring debut in four or five days. “Hangover stuff from last year,” said Buehler, who added that he had discomfort from the start of his offseason throwing program. “Kind of comes and goes. I wasn’t feeling good often enough. Nothing scary, nothing alarming. Just wasn’t right.” Buehler could be on the Opening Day roster but isn't expected to be stretched out in his first regular season start. Manager Dave Roberts said he's "not at all" concerned with Buehler's health. The young right-hander has a lot of upside and will be drafted as a second fantasy starter, but you might want to be cautious with him early in the season as he builds up strength in his arm.
