Buehler (4-1) picked up the win in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians, giving up three runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander delivered his second straight quality start and third in six outings this season on 87 pitches (60 strikes). Buehler has struck out more than four batters only twice in those six trips to the mound, however, and the pre-injury dominance he displayed earlier in his career with the Dodgers has yet to return. He'll take a 4.28 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB through 33.2 innings into his next start, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Twins.

Buehler (3-1) earned the win Monday against the White Sox, firing seven one-run innings while allowing four hits and three walks. He struck out nine.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler bagged his second quality start of the season, throwing an even 100 pitches, from which he induced 11 whiffs. The only blemish on the right-hander's day came in the first inning when Edgar Quero cracked a run-scoring single. After allowing nine runs across 9.1 innings over his first two starts, Buehler has performed much better of late. He's tossed 18.1 innings over his last three outings, pitching to a 1.96 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB. Buehler is currently slated to make his next start against the Guardians in Cleveland this weekend.

Buehler (2-1) earned the win against the Rays on Tuesday, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out three across five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler gave up a solo homer to Jonathan Aranda in the second inning and yielded a second run in the fourth frame, though the damage was limited thanks to a diving catch by Ceddanne Rafaela to end the inning. Buehler has begun his Red Sox tenure with a 5.23 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across 20.2 innings, and his 3.0 percent walk rate is tied with Pablo Lopez for seventh-best in the majors. Buehler is slated to face the White Sox at home next week, when he'll look to earn his third win of 2025.

Buehler didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Blue Jays after allowing one run on four hits and one walk in 6.1 innings. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler worked around two singles in each of the first two innings to toss six scoreless frames to begin his outing, but an inherited runner later scored after he was pulled from the game at 89 pitches in the seventh. The veteran right-hander still holds a rocky 5.74 ERA through three starts, but his 14:2 K:BB and 1.28 WHIP across 15.2 innings are a bit more encouraging. Up next for Buehler is a road matchup with the Rays, which is slated for early next week.

Buehler (1-1) earned the win against the Cardinals on Friday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk with four strikeouts over five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler benefited from eight runs of support, as he allowed five runs over his final three innings. He threw 54 of 83 pitches for strikes with 10 whiffs but was burned by two home runs. The 30-year-old has struggled early with an 8.68 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 7:1 K:BB over 9.1 innings with the Red Sox. He's slated to face the Blue Jays at home next week.

Buehler (0-1) came away with the loss against the Rangers on Saturday. He allowed four runs on seven hits while striking out three across 4.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler's Red Sox debut got off to a rough start when he gave up two runs in the first inning. He steadied himself over the next two frames before giving up a solo home run to Adolis Garcia in the fourth inning and allowed a fourth and final run in the fifth. Buehler left the mound having thrown 48 of 80 pitches for strikes and induced just two ground outs. He's tentatively slated to face the Cardinals at home next week.

Buehler (illness) tossed 85 pitches in five innings on the back fields Monday and is in line to start Saturday against the Rangers, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler was forced to wait a day to get his usual work in due to an illness, but he completed his throwing without issue Monday. Assuming all goes well over the next few days, he's slotted in to make his 2025 debut Saturday against a dangerous Texas lineup.

Buehler isn't starting Sunday's spring game against Minnesota due to an illness, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler was slated to make one final appearance this spring, but Cooper Criswell has been slotted in to start against the Twins instead. Buehler is slated to pitch on the back fields at Boston's spring training site Monday, so the veteran hurler doesn't appear to be dealing with a serious illness. The right-hander is expected to take his first turn through the rotation Saturday, March 29 against Texas.

Buehler allowed one run on three hits and one walk with three strikeouts in Friday's spring start against Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler made his second Grapefruit League start and both have been encouraging; he struck out four in two scoreless innings five days prior. After a rocky 2024 when he returned from Tommy John elbow surgery, Buehler had a strong postseason and has continued the trend to the start of spring training.

Buehler struck out four and allowed one hit and no walks across two innings during Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was excellent in his first start of spring training as he pounded the zone, throwing 19 of his 25 pitches for strikes. Buehler struggled in his return from Tommy John surgery last year and had a 5.38 ERA in 16 regular-season starts for the Dodgers, though he turned in a 3.60 ERA across 15 innings during the playoffs. The 30-year-old joined Boston on a one-year, $21.05 million deal for 2025 and is a good rebound candidate if he can stay healthy.
