Red Sox’s right-wing disappointing season Walker Buehler Continue on Tuesday. He completed only four innings while allowing four hits and was killed in family losses against the Orioles. This is the fourth time Buehler has at least free passes in the last five outings, and his average running average of 5.40 in the season.
Asked whether Buller would start his plan tonight on Monday, manager Alex Cora said the team “has not yet) talked about it” (via Tim Healey of the Boston Globe). Although Cora is not interested in discussing the situation publicly, Masslive’s Chris Cotillo reported that Sox is having an internal conversation about transferring Buehler to Bullpen. It wasn’t a problem for him to rest assured at some point in the series against the Yankees this weekend. Apparently, starting Monday, it will be a rematch against Baltimore.
Buehler’s effect is not as good as expected. Sox signed him as a year-on-year, 21.05mm free agent deal that matches the qualified offer price he did not receive from the Dodgers. Buehler was very poor in the 2024 regular season (5.38 ERA in 16 games), but shone with a positive buzz after the end of the World Series. This convinced Sox that he was a solid upside game, but Buehler’s figures this year were even worse than the 2024 regular season figures.
The right strikeout is 16.5% with just 7.7% of the court. The recent command disaster has increased his walking rate by 10% for the first time in his career (he pitched less than 10 innings outside of his 2017 debut). Boole brings the 6.12 ERA to the All-Star Game. Although he hit the 3.66 mark of repairable in the second half, his batsman has hit the batsman in the last six games.
Boston recalls former fifth starter Richard Fitts This afternoon from Triple-A Worcester. Cora said Fitts will start all 17 appearances between Major League Baseball and the upper-level minor, which he will offer in the bullpen. Fitz released an ERA at nearly 5.00 in the major leagues, with an average of only four innings per game. Sox gets him from spin Dustin May On the deadline. They can reverse the route and let him start Monday.
Boston can also use Buller and Fitz with relief Kyle Harrison or Cooper Chriswell Working as the fifth starter. Since Rafael Devers trade. His ERA is 3.69, but the batsman’s 12% of the batsman’s, while Worcester’s average is less than five innings per inning. Criswell scored 3.70 in 65 2/3 of 16 Triple A outings.
If Sox does pull Buehler away from the rotation, that will have an impact on his finances. He has reached 20 and 22 starts and has received a $1MM bonus. He will unlock another $500,000 at the start of 24, 26 and 28. When Sox refuses to jointly choose to acquire with 3mm, he will become a free agent for the next offseason.
