Walker Buehler injury puts Red Sox in a bind Dodgers fans know all too well
Walker Buehler is hurt, and the Red Sox once again face a talent deficit in the rotation
The Boston Red Sox are finally approaching stable ground. 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.
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 returned from injury on Wednesday. Brayan Bello made his long-awaited return recently. Things are looking up.
And yet, the baseball gods appear determined to put as many obstacles in the way of Alex Cora’s team as possible. After an impressive six innings of work against the Cleveland Guardians this past Saturday, Walker Buehler “didn’t bounce back well from his start,” per MassLive’s Christopher Smith. He has been sent back to Boston for further testing.
