Walker Buehler's Performance Woes and Optimism After the Injury
Walker Buehler's Recent Start
In his latest outing against the Seattle Mariners, Walker Buehler struggled, giving up seven hits, three earned runs, and three walks, with only one strikeout in 4.0 innings. Despite Buehler's challenges on the mound, the Los Angeles Dodgers secured a 6-3 victory. This win was largely thanks to an impressive performance from the Dodgers' bullpen, which allowed just one hit and no earned runs after Buehler left the game.
Struggles Since His Return
After spending nearly two months on the injured list due to a hip injury, Buehler made his comeback but hasn’t found his rhythm. The two-time All-Star has struggled significantly since undergoing a second Tommy John surgery earlier this season. This has led him to give up at least three earned runs in eight of his ten starts.
- Current Record: 1-4
- ERA: 6.09
- Innings Pitched: Less than 5.0 in more than half of his starts
Above all, Buehler expresses a sense of optimism. He mentioned feeling like he can actually perform as he adjusts back into the game. His next start is likely against the Baltimore Orioles.
