5:40 pm: The Red Sox has now formalized it. Buehler was on the IL with right shoulder bursitis, while Dobbins was recalled.
4:35 pm: Red Sox puts right hand Walker Buehler Manager Alex Cora announced (via MLB.com's Ian Browne link) on the 15-day injury list that has been injured due to inflammation in the right shoulder. The club hopes to have a minimum of right-handers, and they are scheduled to start tomorrow. Chris Cotillo of Masslive.com reported correctly earlier in the day Hunter Dobbins It is expected to start tomorrow. He made his debut in the major league debut last month and was sharp in both MLB starts.
Buehler signed a one-year, 21.05mm deal with the Red Sox during the offseason, matching the value of qualified quotes ignored by the Dodgers when they arrived at the open market. It's a relatively large bet, and it's a pitcher who lost his losses for most of the 2024 season (he was Tommy John's first year of surgery before being in Los Angeles' short but memorable post-season hero.
Buehler's tenure with the Red Sox has produced pedestrian results so far. He sat on the 4.28 ERA, strikeouts and walking ratios were better than 3-point shooting in 2024, but also a career-low average fastball of 93.5 mph. While his 20.7% strikeout rate and 6.4% walk rate did improve on last year’s results (18.6 k%, 8.1 bb%), that strikeout rate is far from his peak 29.2% cry rate when he was like a well-intentioned Ace and Cy Young contender.

Even with all the injuries, the Red Sox starter ranks 14th in the professional 3.91 ERA. Ideally, Buehler will rejoin the starter in a few weeks, but if he needs longer stays, Dobbins will look up to fill the task. The eighth round of 2021 was 2.61 ERA with 125 2/3 innings, with 2.61 ERA goals between Double-A and Triple-A. In the 11 major league frameworks this season, he hit 11 and a pair of walks in 3 hits (2.45 ERA) with 11 hits and a pair with 11 strikeouts. In Dobbins’ recent Triple-A start, he beat the Mets’ top branch four hits and two walks and made three punches in six innings.
