Walker Buehler’s Shocking Comeback: Why the Padres Took a Gamble After His 2025 Meltdown
The deal marked a return to the NL West division where Buehler starred for the first seven seasons — not counting 2023, when he missed the entire campaign due to a second Tommy John surgery — with the Dodgers and won a pair of rings with them in 2020 and 2024.
Buehler, though, has mostly struggled since returning from the procedure, and in 2025, he didn’t even last the entire season with the Red Sox before getting demoted to their bullpen and then landing a minor-league deal with the Phillies ahead of the postseason.
