Walker Buehler’s Mysterious IL Stint Rocks Red Sox—What Is Alex Cora Really Hiding?
The right-hander underwent Tommy John surgery in 2022, the second such procedure of his career. Buehler returned last season, making 16 starts for the Dodgers with a 5.68 ERA in 75 1/3 innings. However, he was especially effective during the team’s World Series title run, registering a 3.68 ERA in four appearances (three starts), with 13 strikeouts in 15 innings.

Boston began the season with Brayan Bello and Lucas Giolito on the IL, but both have recently returned. Bello (2-0, 3.67 ERA) started Friday’s game in Buehler’s place. Taking Bello’s spot for Saturday will be Hunter Dobbins, just recalled from Triple-A Worcester. He compiled a 2.45 ERA with 11 strikeouts in 11 innings and a 2-0 record in two starts for Boston.
