When will Walker Buhler come back? Everything you need to know about the return of the Red Sox Star

For almost a week, the Boston Red Sox had no Walker Buehler, one of the acclaimed offseason acquisitions. He was placed on the list injured with scapulitis. This is an injury that often leads to long bench stints.

Luckily, the pitcher avoided the worst diagnosis as he didn’t need surgery and didn’t need to stop pitching. Buehler is already expected to return to action next week.

“Walker Buhler is back next week, and at this point I don’t think there’s any doubt that Hunter Dobbins should stay in the rotation beyond Houck,” MLB insider Gordon Edes tweeted Monday.

Hunter Dobbins was brought in to take Buhler’s spot in the rotation. Dobbins pitches well while he’s out and Edes believes he should be in the rotation forever.

If the dobbins are kept, the bureauer must replace someone else. Edes believes it should be Tanner Houck, who has an 8.04 ERA and -0.4 Bwar. He struggled after last season’s career year (3.9 FWAR).

Red Sox manager Alex Kora said Bueller is keeping pace with May 19-21 to get back one day against the New York Mets, with the return date consistent with Edes’ report.

The future of the Red Sox Star is not guaranteed

Rafael Devers and Boston Red Sox have a tense relationship. The former All-Star was unhappy with the team moving him from 3 base to full-time DH.

The arrival of Alex Bregman forced the matter, and the injury to Triston Casas urged Boston to ask if Devers was a single base. He refused and was irritated by Saga.

According to Sports Illustrated’s Ken Rosenthal, Devers’ future is in the air despite signing an extension in 2023.

“The idea of ​​trade at some point isn’t too far away, even if evacuees borrowed more than $250 million, including postponement,” Rosenthal wrote Tuesday. “To his quality batsman, the deal may soon look like a bargain, at least compared to Juan Soto’s $765 million and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s $500 million.”

Rosenthal added that Bregman’s opt-out after this year is not an issue as the Red Sox use Marcelomeyer on the third and are not elite defenders, allowing them to maintain Deverse as DH.
