Buehler allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings in Tuesday's loss to the Diamondbacks. He didn't factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
The only damage on his ledger came in the fifth inning when Buehler yielded a pair of runs on a single, walk and double, but he otherwise allowed just one runner to advance beyond first base the rest of the outing. The rookie has had a strong final push to the season, tossing four quality starts in five tries in the final month while maintaining a 1.95 ERA with 42 strikeouts over 32.1 innings in that span. The 24-year-old would line up to face the Giants in the regular season finale Sunday, though that could change depending on the Dodgers' playoff standing heading into that tilt.

Buehler allowed two unearned runs on three hits and a walk while striking out 12 over six innings in a no-decision Wednesday against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler allowed a pair of unearned runs to come around in the first after two hits, a walk and an error but he settled down from that point to toss a gem the rest of the way. The 12 punchouts were easily a personal-best -- topping the nine he threw last time out -- but the Dodgers didn't take the lead until he'd already departed so he had to settle for a no-decision. The 24-year-old boasts an impressive 2.74 ERA and 10.3 K/9 heading into Tuesday's start at Arizona, which could serve as his final start of the regular season.

Buehler (foot) said he expects to make his next start on schedule, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler said he suffered a muscle cramp in his foot during his start against the Diamondbacks on Sunday. X-rays came back negative and it sounds like the young right-hander won't be forced to miss a turn through the rotation as a result. Buehler will line up to face the Rockies at Coors Field on Saturday should he stay on turn.

Buehler will have X-rays on his left foot following Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler tossed a solid outing, allowing one run on two hits and three walks while fanning nine across 6.1 innings, although he didn't factor into the decision. It's unclear as to when Buehler suffered the injury, but he left the clubhouse after the game to have X-rays taken, per Gurnick. More information on Buehler's availability moving forward should emerge when the results of the scan come back.

Buehler allowed two runs on four hits and two walks across four innings Tuesday in a no-decision Tuesday against the Rangers. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler coasted aside from the third inning, when he allowed two runs on three hits and a walk before escaping the jam. Unfortunately, he labored a bit in that frame and departed after the fourth 84 pitches already under his belt. This short outing ends a stretch of dominance in which Buehler had allowed just one earned run in 20 combined innings over his previous three starts. He'll look to get back on track this weekend against the Diamondbacks.

Buehler (4-4) was saddled with the loss Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits while striking out seven over seven innings against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler coughed up a run in the third inning on a pair of two-out hits, but that was the only mark on his ledger in this one. Despite notching his first quality start since May, his offense couldn't pick him up, as the Dodger bats managed just two hits all game in the 1-0 defeat. The rookie has struggled some over the past two months, but he wraps up July with 17:2 K:BB over 16.2 innings in the month and will take a respectable 3.65 ERA and 1.06 WHIP into Sunday's start against the Astros.

The Dodgers officially recalled Buehler from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Dave Roberts heavily implied Sunday that Buehler would rejoin the rotation this week and confirmed the rookie's appointment to the big club Tuesday before the transaction made it official. Buehler, who carries a 3.45 ERA and 1.08 WHIP over 57.1 innings into the start, should make for a solid lineup option in most formats nearly every time he takes the mound. However, it's uncertain if he'll stick in the rotation the rest of the season with the Dodgers already having five other healthy, high-performing starters on hand.

Buehler will start Wednesday against the Phillies, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Buehler will be called up to make his first start of the second half. The 23-year-old may have his workload limited in the second half, but he'll be an effective fantasy starter when he pitches.

The Dodgers are expected to recall Buehler from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler, who was optioned to Triple-A after his last start prior to the All-Star break, tossed a five-inning simulated game Friday while waiting for the Dodgers to decide his next step. It appears the Dodgers intend to break Buehler into a six-man rotation, at least for the upcoming week. The Dodgers could look to restrict Buehler's pitch counts during his starts with the big club an effort to keep him fresh through a potential playoff run, but he should perform well enough on a per-inning basis to warrant a roster spot in nearly every fantasy format. Before being demoted to Triple-A, Buehler accrued a 3.45, 1.08 WHIP and 59 strikeouts over 57.1 innings across 11 outings (10 starts).

Buehler threw a five-inning simulated game with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, but it is still unclear when he will rejoin the major-league rotation, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler was sent to the minors over the All-Star break after making a successful return from a rib injury July 13. The 23-year-old's health and performance in the majors (3.45 ERA and 4.5 K/BB ratio) are unquestioned, and the demotion to the minors was due to a crowded rotation and the Dodgers wanting to keep the talented rookie's usage in check. It is unclear when exactly Buehler will rejoin the majors, but there is little doubt that he will eventually get that opportunity at some point in the second half.
