Walker Buehler Could Lose Rotation Spot, Move to Bullpen
Boston Red Sox right-hander Walker Buehler is in danger of losing his spot in the team's starting rotation and shifting to the bullpen, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. While Buehler is tentatively scheduled to make his next start on Monday in Baltimore, the Red Sox could instead use him in relief in this weekend's series against the New York Yankees. The Red Sox signed Buehler to a one-year, $21.05 million guarantee in free agency last offseason, but the former Los Angeles Dodger hasn't delivered as hoped. Buehler, 31, has recorded just seven quality starts in 22 tries and gone 7-7 with a 5.40 ERA, a 1.86 WHIP, and 82:54 K:BB in 110 innings. Richard Fitts and minor leaguers Payton Tolle and Connelly Early are among the candidates to take Buehler's starting job, Cotillo reports.
