Buehler (4-3) took the loss against Atlanta on Saturday, allowing five runs on 10 hits and two walks with six strikeouts over 5.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler was primarily hurt by two long balls in the fourth inning, including a two-run blast off the bat of Ronald Acuna. He managed just nine swinging strikes on 106 pitches, snapping a streak of six consecutive starts yielding three earned runs or fewer. The 30-year-old will bring a 4.44 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 42:15 K:BB over 46.2 innings into a tough road matchup with the Yankees next weekend.

Buehler (4-2) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler managed to make it through five innings after he was ejected in the third in his last start. The right-hander pitched well, allowing just a pair of runs, but the Red Sox failed to generate much offensively against Dean Kremer in an eventual 5-1 defeat. Buehler's ERA sits at 3.95 with a 1.20 WHIP and 36:13 K:BB across eight starts (41 innings) this season. He's currently in line for a road matchup in Atlanta in his next outing.

Buehler didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Mets, walking two batters and striking out four over 2.1 scoreless, no-hit innings before being ejected from the game for arguing balls and strikes.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was looking good in his first big-league outing since April 26, racking up 16 called or swinging strikes among his 52 pitches, but it was a call Buehler didn't get against Juan Soto that brought his night to an abrupt end. The important takeaway from the performance was that Buehler's shoulder seemed healthy. He sports a 4.00 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 33:11 K:BB through 36 innings on the season, and he'll look to keep his emotions in check in his next start, which lines up to come at home this weekend against the Orioles.

The Red Sox activated Buehler (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler last pitched April 26 but is back to start Tuesday's game against the Mets. On the season, Buehler is 4-1 with a 4.28 ERA and 29:9 K:BB across 33.2 innings. He'll face a tough test against a Mets team that is ninth in OPS against right-handed pitching this season.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Friday that Buehler (shoulder) is lined up to rejoin the rotation Tuesday against the Mets, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler threw a successful live batting practice session Thursday, and the Red Sox are waiting until Saturday to see how he recovers before they officially clear him to return. The right-hander has been out since early May with right shoulder inflammation but is poised to skip a rehab assignment and go right back into Boston's rotation.

Manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Buehler (shoulder) will likely return during the Red Sox's home series against the Mets that begins May 19, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler continues to rehab from right shoulder inflammation, which prompted his placement on the 15-day injured list May 2. With a timeline established for the 30-year-old's return, Hunter Dobbins -- who tossed six scoreless innings in a no-decision against the Royals on Friday -- will likely have one more start in the Red Sox's rotation next week. Buehler went 4-1 in six starts before landing on the IL, posting a 4.28 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB across 33.2 innings.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Thursday that Buehler (shoulder) remains limited to playing catch, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler's goal when he went on the 15-day injured list last Friday with minor bursitis in his right shoulder was to resume throwing off a mound by the end of this week and return when first eligible May 14. Those possibilities still appear to be on the table, but he will have to be cleared for mound work soon in order to have a chance to return next week against the Tigers.

Buehler said Sunday that he's dealing with minor bursitis in his right shoulder and is hopeful for a minimum-length stay on the 15-day injured list, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Boston placed Buehler on the injured list Friday, but he had been experiencing discomfort in his shoulder since his April 15 start against the Rays. Buehler proceeded to make his next two turns through the rotation and submitted quality starts on both occasions, but since the shoulder issue hadn't completely gone away, he didn't want to push through the injury and have it morph into a greater concern. After a recent MRI cleared Buehler of any structural damage to his shoulder, he's been cleared to resume playing catch this week, per MLB.com. If all goes well in his initial throwing sessions, he could be cleared for mound work by the end of the week and may be ready to come off the IL when he's first eligible May 14.

The Red Sox placed Buehler on the 15-day injured list Friday due to right shoulder inflammation, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler was working through a shoulder issue following his start against the Guardians this past Saturday, and the injury appears severe enough for him to warrant a move to the injured list. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that he expects Buehler's stint on the IL to be minimal, which would have the 30-year-old right-hander slated to make his return as soon as May 17 during a weekend series against Atlanta. Brayan Bello will take the mound for Boston on Friday and Hunter Dobbins is in line to be called up from Triple-Worcester ahead of his start Saturday.

Buehler (shoulder) did not bounce back well from his start Saturday and is back in Boston for testing while the team is in Toronto, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler is dealing with shoulder soreness as Boston is unsure if a trip to the injured list will be needed. The right-hander was expected to start Friday, but Brayan Bello is now set to take the mound instead, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. Saturday will now be open for a pitcher to be named later with Garret Crochet remaining set to pitch Sunday.
