Eligibility
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.

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.
Walker Buehler (elbow/hand) will make his next rehab start on Thursday, per Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts.
Fantasy Impact
