After a bumpy start to the campaign, Boston is slowly putting the pieces together. Rafael Devers is back on track. Trevor Story has experienced a minor renaissance in the heart of the lineup. Alex Bregman, Wilyer Abreu and Kristian Campbell are all performing at an All-Star level.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Meanwhile, Boston has its centerpiece ace in Garrett Crochet, whose recent contract extension ensures that he will spend the best years of his career in a Red Sox uniform. Lucas Giolito\u00a0returned from injury\u00a0on Wednesday. Brayan Bello made his long-awaited return recently. Things are looking up.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">And yet, the baseball gods appear determined to put as many obstacles in the way of Alex Cora&#8217;s team as possible. After an impressive six innings of work against the\u00a0Cleveland Guardians\u00a0this past Saturday, Walker Buehler &#8220;didn\u2019t bounce back well from his start,&#8221; per MassLive&#8217;s Christopher Smith. He has been sent back to Boston for further testing.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"min-h-[550px]\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=eyJ0ZndfdGltZWxpbmVfbGlzdCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOltdLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2ZvbGxvd2VyX2NvdW50X3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9iYWNrZW5kIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19yZWZzcmNfc2Vzc2lvbiI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZm9zbnJfc29mdF9pbnRlcnZlbnRpb25zX2VuYWJsZWQiOnsiYnVja2V0Ijoib24iLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X21peGVkX21lZGlhXzE1ODk3Ijp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRyZWF0bWVudCIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3Nob3dfYmlyZHdhdGNoX3Bpdm90c19lbmFibGVkIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19kdXBsaWNhdGVfc2NyaWJlc190b19zZXR0aW5ncyI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdXNlX3Byb2ZpbGVfaW1hZ2Vfc2hhcGVfZW5hYmxlZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdmlkZW9faGxzX2R5bmFtaWNfbWFuaWZlc3RzXzE1MDgyIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRydWVfYml0cmF0ZSIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfbGVnYWN5X3RpbWVsaW5lX3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9mcm9udGVuZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9fQ%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1918056413554729072&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Ffansided.com%2Fwalker-buehler-injury-puts-red-sox-in-a-bind-dodgers-fans-know-all-too-well&amp;sessionId=d5279b41f64b8c0b1546f655dc4dbd96b8428df0&amp;siteScreenName=fansided&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-uw-rm-iframe=\"gn\" data-tweet-id=\"1918056413554729072\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Buehler is evidently dealing with a\u00a0shoulder issue, which naturally raises alarm bells throughout New England. We have been waiting for weeks to see this Red Sox rotation operating at something close to full strength. Now, the wait may continue for an indefinite period of time.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Unfortunately for Boston fans, this is an all too common experience with Buehler \u2014 something\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0fans probably could&#8217;ve warned them about.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><main class=\"min-w-0 flex-1\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"viewablity-block\">\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Walker Buehler&#8217;s shoulder injury once again shines a spotlight on vulnerable Red Sox rotation<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">When he&#8217;s at his best, Buehler can go pitch-for-pitch with MLB&#8217;s very best. He was essential to the Dodgers&#8217; 2024 World Series run, returning from an injury-plagued regular season and finding his stride at the perfect moment. He was, fittingly, on the mound to close out L.A.&#8217;s Game 5, series-clinching victory over the Yankees with a two-strikeout save.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">He is now a two-time champ and a two-time All-Star. Buehler has logged 30-plus starts twice in eight MLB seasons; in both instances, he finished top-10 in NL Cy Young voting. The arc of his career thus far has been defined by durability concerns, however. Buehler has eclipsed 100-plus innings thrice. He is rarely healthy and fully functional for a complete 162-game cycle.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;&gt;iframe]:max-w-full flex justify-center my-f-1\" style=\"--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 \/ .5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; display: flex; justify-content: center; color: #000000; font-family: ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; border: 0px solid currentcolor;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"open-spotify\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/show\/0w8jYR5PJe325b6JvKPQgO?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"232\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-uw-rm-iframe=\"gn\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Buehler underwent Tommy John surgery midway through the 2022 season and missed all of 2023 as he recovered. Buehler has often needed a long runway to build up momentum and settle into a groove. When his season gets sidetracked by injuries, naturally, his production tends to plummet.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">It has not been the best start to Buehler&#8217;s post-Dodgers career, posting a 4.28 ERA and 1.22 WHIP through five starts with the Red Sox, but he is undeniably essential to what Boston is attempting to build. He inked a one-year, $21.5 million contract in the offseason, which was a pricey investment for the Red Sox \u2014 but one rooted in Buehler&#8217;s elite peaks and his tendency to level up in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">We don&#8217;t know the full extent of Buehler&#8217;s shoulder ailment yet, but it&#8217;s not a\u00a0great sign. Especially when Boston cannot afford another prolonged absence from a key starter. This was a short-term investment from GM Craig Breslow; Buehler&#8217;s probably not long for Boston after the Crochet extension. If what is potentially Buehler&#8217;s only go-around in a Red Sox uniform has already been sidetracked, Boston will be in a tough position trying to adequately replace him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Walker Buehler is hurt, and the Red Sox once again face a talent deficit in the rotation.
