Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler will make the start on Friday night against the Philadelphia Phillies. Buehler is starting in place of left-hander Clayton Kershaw (back), who was placed on the injured list on Friday. The 27-year-old right-hander was previously scheduled to start on five days of rest on Saturday, but instead he'll be moved up a day. Although he currently has a career-low 21.8% strikeout rate, Buehler has been money otherwise for his fantasy managers, posting a 1.96 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in his first six starts over 36 2/3 innings. Buehler will remain a must-start in all fantasy leagues against the Phillies in LA on Friday evening.--Keith Hernandez
