Walker Buehler Strives for Comeback as Dodgers Eye October
Walker Buehler Faces Pressure as Dodgers Reinvent Rotation
The Dodgers find themselves in a challenging position with pitcher Walker Buehler at the center of their playoff hopes. Struggling with a 6.09 earned-run average, he has failed to deliver the expected performance. In his recent appearance, Buehler pitched four difficult innings, raising doubts about his effectiveness against weaker batting lineups. As the Dodgers grapple with injuries, Buehler must harness the potential that made him an All-Star if he hopes to be a key contributor this season.
Challenges Ahead for Buehler
