Buehler gave up five runs (two earned) while striking out two over 2.2 innings Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, and he was seen picking at his blister on the bench after exiting. Manager Dave Roberts said he expects Buehler to make his next start but added "nothing is off the table," according to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times.

EDGE Analysis

Buehler said the blister, which landed him on the injured list earlier this season, is something that he and the team are trying to figure out how to deal with. He touched 100 mph with his second pitch of the start, but a blister is more likely to affect a pitcher's ability to throw and locate offspeed pitches. Buehler gave up a pair of home runs and issued zero walks while throwing 41 of 61 pitches for strikes. His next turn would be Monday in San Diego, but the Dodgers' top priority now will be getting him right for the playoffs, so they could push him back.

Buehler didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's game between the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks. He tossed five scoreless innings, allowing two hits and one walk while fanning six.

EDGE Analysis

Buehler has been pitching extremely well over his last two starts, allowing just one run across his last 11 innings. Buehler posted a 5.21 ERA in his first four starts, but he has improved that figure to a 3.60 mark after his last two strong outings following a stint on the injured list with a blister on his right hand.

Buehler (hand) was activated off the injured list as expected Wednesday ahead of his scheduled start against Arizona, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buehler will wind up missing just one turn in the rotation due to a blister. His 4.32 ERA through his first five starts is worse than his typical standard, though he's coming off an 11-strikeout, one-run outing against the Rockies his last time out. Scott Alexander was optioned in a corresponding move.

Bueler (hand) will be activated off the 10-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old was placed on the injured list last week with a blister on his right hand, but he won't end up spending much more than the 10-day minimum on the shelf. Buehler threw 30-plus pitches in a bullpen session over the weekend and shouldn't face significant limitations Wednesday, though he may not be cleared for his usual workout in his first start back. Clayton Kershaw's start was pushed to Thursday as a result of his return.

Buehler (hand) completed a 30-plus pitch bullpen session Saturday, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old landed on the injured list last week with a blister on his right hand, so the quick return to mound work is a good sign for his potential return. The Dodgers haven't indicated when Buehler is expected to be ready, but Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register speculates that the Dodgers could be targeting Thursday's series finale against the Diamondbacks for his return.

The Dodgers placed Buehler on the 10-day injured list Thursday after he developed a blister on his right hand.

EDGE Analysis

Buehler had been expected to take the hill for the second game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Giants, but he apparently came out of his most recent start Aug. 21 with the blister and was unable to overcome the issue despite having the last five days off to heal up. The IL move is retroactive to Aug. 23, so Buehler will be eligible for activation as soon as Sept. 2, and according to Ken Gurnick of MLB.com, the expectation is that he'll be able to rejoin the rotation next week after a brief stay on the shelf. Los Angeles called up right-hander Mitchell White to take Buehler's spot on the active roster, but it's unclear if White or someone else will receive the starting nod in the nightcap after Clayton Kershaw takes the hill for Game 1 on Thursday.

Buehler (1-0) earned the win Friday over the Rockies. He tossed six innings of one-run ball, allowing four hits and striking out 11.

EDGE Analysis

Buehler recorded double-digit strikeouts for the eighth time in his career -- he hadn't accomplished this feat since Sept. 10 last year when he fanned 11 in a 7-3 win at Baltimore. Buehler hasn't looked convincing this season, but he has allowed two or fewer runs in three of five starts while posting a 10.1 K/9 in 25 innings across his first five outings.

Buehler didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's contest between the Dodgers and the Angels. He allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and one walk while fanning five across 4.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Buehler has not been the same dominant pitcher he was in 2019, when he posted a 3.26 ERA in 30 starts. Buehler has pitched four straight no-decisions, is yet to reach the sixth inning in any of his outings, and has allowed at least two earned runs in every one of his four appearances. As a result, the 26-year-old righty owns a 5.21 ERA in 19 innings ahead of his next scheduled start against the Rockies at home Aug. 21.

Buehler allowed two runs on a hit and four walks while striking out six in a no-decision versus the Giants on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Buehler was strong in Sunday's contest, although he walked four of the six leadoff hitters he faced. The only hit he allowed was a two-RBI single to Mike Yastrzemski in the fifth inning. Sunday marked the first time Buehler pitched into the sixth this season. He has a 4.40 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 12 strikeouts in 14.1 innings. The right-hander is expected to face the Angels on the road Friday for his next start.

Buehler didn't factor into the decision in Monday's contest against the Padres. He allowed three runs on three hits -- all of them home runs -- and three walks while striking out three across five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Buehler has not been pitching well to start the year, as he has given up five runs while allowing four homers and four walks while striking out six in 8.2 innings across his first two starts. Buehler will try to bounce back in his next scheduled start -- it will be at home against the Giants on Aug. 9.
