Walker Buehler Has Tommy John Surgery
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery on Tuesday, according to his Instagram account. Buehler was already slated to miss the rest of this season, and now he'll almost certainly miss all of the 2023 season as well. It will be his second Tommy John procedure, which typically takes a longer recovery period than the first surgery. It's big news for one of the best pitchers in baseball when he's healthy. The 28-year-old right-hander went 6-3 with a 4.02 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 58 strikeouts in 65 innings over his 12 starts for the Dodgers this year. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues should have already dropped him, and now he won't be an option in fantasy leagues in 2023.
