Walker Buehler Getting Testing On His Shoulder, Won't Start Friday
Walker Buehler (shoulder) didn't bounce back well from his last start and is currently back in Boston getting testing done on his right shoulder. As of right now, the Red Sox are saying that Buehler is dealing with shoulder soreness, but he could be a candidate to land on the 15-day injured list, depending on what his tests reveal. The 30-year-old veteran gave up three earned runs on seven hits (one homer) while walking one and striking out three in six innings in a win against the Cleveland Guardians in his last outing on April 26. It's unclear if he'll need a stint on the IL, but at the very least he won't make his next scheduled start on Friday against the Minnesota Twins, with Brayan Bello now set to take the mound in the series opener. Through his first six starts in Boston, Buehler has gone 4-1 with a 4.28 ERA and 1.22 WHIP with 29 K's and nine walks in 33 2/3 innings pitched.
