Buehler threw a bullpen session Wednesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buehler isn't dealing with any sort of injury, but the Dodgers are taking things slow with the young right-hander in camp after he saw his innings jump from 98 to 177 (including the playoffs) last year. He's expected to face hitters for the first time this spring in a few days, and if everything goes as planned during his live batting practice session, Buehler could be cleared to make his Cactus League debut shortly thereafter.

Buehler continues to build up slowly in camp but is expected to be ready to go by Opening Day, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers appear to be treating Buehler very cautiously after his innings jumped from 98 to 177 (including the postseason) last year. With little reason to waste his likely still-limited innings on preseason games, Buehler still has two bullpen sessions and a live batting practice session to go before he gets into game action. The team's approach could foretell careful management throughout the season, but the fact that Buehler remains uninjured is still a positive.

Buehler will throw his first bullpen of the spring Wednesday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buehler isn't carrying any known injury, but the Dodgers elected to delay his start to spring by a few days in order to manage his workload. Whether that's in an attempt to avoid any mid-season workload management of if it's simply the first part of a season-long plan to keep his innings down remains to be seen.

Buehler is being held back early in spring training but is expected to be up to speed by Opening Day, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

No specific reason was given for the decision to bring Buehler along slowly, so this appears to be a case of general workload management for the young righty. The 24-year-old threw 177 innings across all levels (including the playoffs) last season after throwing just 98 the year prior.

Following Monday's outing, he's given up just two earned runs over his previous four starts and recorded 29 punchouts (26.2 innings).

Buehler will start Monday's game against the Rockies, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers will turn to the young righty with the division on the line Monday after opting to move him off his originally scheduled start. Buehler has made five starts against the Rockies this season, notching a 2.61 ERA with 33 strikeouts over 31.0 innings.

Buehler will not start Sunday's game against the Giants, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Veteran left-hander Rich Hill will instead take the mound as the Dodgers enter the final day of the regular season tied for first place with the Rockies in the NL West. The Nationals' decision to bump Max Scherzer from starting against the Rockies on Sunday appears to have caused to change from the Dodgers. Buehler is the likely option to start Monday's potential tie-breaking Game 163 or Tuesday's wild-card matchup should the Dodgers be unable to secure an outright division title Sunday.
