Walker Buehler Won't Be Ready For Opening Day
11 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler (elbow) is currently on a "slow program" and won't be on the Opening Day roster, manager Dave Roberts said Saturday. As Eric Stephen of SB Nation notes, it's currently unclear whether Buehler will participate in extended spring training or a different method of rehab. Outside of one Triple-A appearance last season, Buehler hasn't pitched since 2022. The Dodgers have a very strong rotation and are in no rush to get Buehler back, but they would certainly benefit from the return of a young hurler who has eclipsed 5.0 fWAR twice since 2019.
