Buehler (elbow) will begin a throwing program within the next two weeks, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buehler underwent Tommy John surgery in August, but he's yet to be officially ruled out for the upcoming season. He'd have to be on the faster end of the typical timeline to do so, and he's unlikely to throw more than a handful of innings, but it will give him something to work toward throughout the year as he continues his recovery.

Buehler (elbow) could return late in the 2023 season, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buehler was placed on the 60-day injured list Thursday, though manager Dave Roberts relayed some optimism that he'll take the mound late in the season. If Buehler were to return, it would likely come as a reliever or in starts with a low pitch-count limit. While that wouldn't be enough to make him fantasy relevant in most formats, it would provide some reassurance regarding the health of his arm heading into 2024.

Buehler (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list by the Dodgers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Buehler is likely to miss the entire 2023 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery on his right elbow last August. He should be 100 percent recovered come the beginning of spring training in 2024.

Buehler (elbow) and the Dodgers agreed on a one-year, $8.025 million contract Friday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buehler and the team will avoid the arbitration headache after they were able to finalize a deal Friday. The right-hander underwent Tommy John surgery in August and may not pitch in 2023 as a result. Prior to injuring his elbow, Buehler produced an uncharacteristic 4.02 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with 58 strikeouts over 65 innings in 12 starts last season.

Buehler (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery and flexor tendon repair surgery on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Buehler had Tommy John surgery the year he was drafted (2015), so this is his second go-round with the procedure. Given the timing of the surgery and the fact that he has a lot riding on his recovery going smoothly, it's possible he won't pitch in games until the 2024 season.

Buehler will undergo season-ending elbow surgery Aug. 23.

EDGE Analysis

Buehler sustained a Grade 2 flexor strain in his right elbow June 10 and spent the last two months recovering. Although the Dodgers hoped that the right-hander would be able to return sometime in September, he'll ultimately be forced to miss the remainder of the season. The exact nature of the procedure, which will be performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, isn't yet known, so it's unclear whether Buehler will be ready to pitch in time for spring training in 2023.

Buehler (elbow) played catch Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Buehler made 20 throws during the session, his first action since sustaining a Grade 2 flexor strain in his right elbow June 10. The right-hander is still a long way from a potential return, but Monday's action is the first step toward joining the Dodgers' rotation at some point later this season.

Buehler (elbow) will play light catch on Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The activity will mark Buehler's first since being placed on the injured list June 11. He remains optimistic that he'll be able to return to the Dodgers' rotation in mid-to-late September, though he isn't set for another MRI until 12 weeks post-injury -- which would be in early September. Any appearance he makes during the regular season would likely only be to build up his workload for a potential postseason run.

The Dodgers remain optimistic that Buehler (elbow) will return as a starter in September, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Dave Roberts noted that Buehler has made progress and is "cautiously optimistic" that he can return as a starter this season. There is no more specific timetable, and Buehler has yet to undergo any followup imaging on his elbow.

Buehler (elbow) was moved to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move comes as no surprise, as Buehler seems to be tracking toward a return in September at best as he works his way back from both a flexor strain and surgery to remove a bone spur in his right elbow. He isn't expected to pick up a baseball for at least another month. His spot on the 40-man roster will be filled by Trayce Thompson, whose contract was selected Tuesday.
