Walker Buehler

Walker Buehler had a rocky outing on Monday, allowing three earned runs on six hits while striking out four over four innings in a 6-3 win against the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's victory, Buehler's personal performance was less than stellar, marked by a high number of hits after just 77 pitches. That being said, this was Buehler's season debut and first MLB start since June 10, 2022, after he missed almost two years following Tommy John surgery. Buehler should round into form as he gets reacclimated.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Walker Buehler will make his season debut on Monday against the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact

Buehler has been sidelined since undergoing Tommy John surgery back in August, 2022. He posted a 4.15 ERA with 21 strikeouts across 21 2/3 innings over six rehab starts. He'll likely be eased back into action with his pitch count for the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

Manager Dave Roberts stated over the weekend that Buehler would need another rehab start to show improved command. Fantasy managers should expect Buehler to join the Dodgers soon if he can improve on his last rehab start.

Walker Buehler will need at least one more rehab start before joining the Dodgers, per manager Dave Roberts.

Fantasy Impact

The team is looking for better command and consistency from Buehler, who walked four batters in his last rehab start. If Buehler is able to improve in his next outing, it is possible the team has him rejoin the rotation.
