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.

Buehler was optioned to the minors Saturday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move doesn't appear to be performance-related, as Buehler had a solid start Friday, giving up two runs in five innings against the Angels. The Dodgers can send him down for 10 days now, though, without having him miss a start, allowing them to have an extra arm (Zac Rosscup) in the bullpen. Expect Buehler to return soon after the break and return to the Dodgers' rotation.

Buehler threw five innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Friday, yielding two earned runs on five hits with five strikeouts and a walk in the Dodgers' eventual 3-2 victory.

EDGE Analysis

Buehler (ribs) didn't get the win, but it was still a successful return from the 10-day disabled list for the young right-hander. His previously sterling ERA of 2.63 has jumped to 3.45 thanks to a five-run blowup in his first attempt at returning when he came out of the bullpen, but he looks like he's healthy and ready to get back to his pre-injury form when he gets back to regular work after the All-Star break.

Buehler was reinstated from the 10-day DL ahead of Friday's start versus the Angels, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Buehler will take the hill for the series opener after spending the past 10 days on the shelf due to a right rib microfracture. In a corresponding move, Pat Venditte was sent down to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Buehler (ribs) is expected to start Friday's game against the Angels, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buehler completed a five-inning simulated game Sunday and will return to the Dodgers without an additional minor-league rehab start. It remains unclear whether the 23-year-old will face any sort of pitch limit, but the team is likely to be cautious as they approach the All-Star break. Buehler has a 2.63 ERA and 0.96 WHIP with a 54:11 K:BB in nine starts for the Dodgers this season.
