Top Walker Buehler News

  • Dodgers' Walker Buehler: Fires four sim innings

    Buehler (elbow) threw four simulated innings before Monday's exhibition against the Angels, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

    Buehler won't be ready for Opening Day, but he continues to move in a promising direction. Manager Dave Roberts noted that the right-hander is "close" to being sent out on a rehab assignment, though he'll need to bounce back well from Monday's outing and toss a side session later in the week before a decision is made on when that might be. "He's been through the rehab process, facing his own hitters, the simulated games quite a bit over the last year," said Roberts. "I think he's sort of over it." The team should know more about the next steps for Buehler once he throws his next bullpen.

  • Dodgers' Walker Buehler: Placed on injured list

    The Dodgers placed Buehler (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

    Buehler has spent the spring recovering from his August 2022 Tommy John procedure, and he will require a bit more time before he rejoins the Dodgers' rotation. Buehler was able to touch 97 mph with his fastball during a live batting practice session Tuesday -- an encouraging sign that his rehab process is going well. That being said, Buehler is likely still a month or two away from making his season debut.

  • Dodgers' Walker Buehler: Fastball up to 97 mph

    Buehler (elbow) threw three innings of live batting practice recently and his fastball was up to 97 mph, per the Just Baseball Show podcast.

    This news was directly from Buehler on the podcast, with the pitcher also stating that he hasn't had much problem with the "up-down" this go around, so it sounds like he is progressing with his throwing program. Buehler wouldn't be able to throw a full season in the majors this year regardless of how ready he is now, so the Dodgers are slow playing him out of the gates. He is expected to open the year on the injured list and he could join the rotation sometime in the first couple months of the season.

  • Dodgers' Walker Buehler: May appear in spring games

    Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Buehler (elbow) won't begin the regular season with the Dodgers, but the team hopes for Buehler to start a Cactus League game, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Buehler will miss the first few weeks of the season as he continues to work his way back from a Tommy John procedure he underwent in August 2022. Heading into camp, Buehler hadn't been expected to appear in any spring training games, but the Dodgers' optimism toward getting him in a Cactus League contest may be a sign that the 29-year-old righty is ahead of schedule in his rehab process. Once Buehler is able to return to Los Angeles' rotation, he will undoubtedly be operating under an innings restriction.

  • Dodgers' Walker Buehler: Sitting 94-to-95 mph in live BP

    Buehler (elbow) said he was sitting in the 94-to-95 mph range during live batting practice Tuesday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Buehler felt good in the session in what was his first time facing hitters this spring. He expects to require another 3-to-4 live BP sessions before progressing to games. Buehler is not expected to appear in any Cactus League contests and will stay back at extended spring training at the start of the season.
