Over the weekend, Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler underwent an MRI on his sore ribcage. He had made three starts since absorbing a line drive May 21, and his symptoms had worsened. The examination revealed why: a microfracture on the right side of his ribs, which forced him onto the 10-day disabled list before Tuesday’s game against Texas.
The other injured pitchers are slowly making progress back from their injuries. Kenta Maeda (hip strain) is scheduled to start Wednesday, pitching for the first time since his hip started bothering him May 29.
Kershaw (back strain) threw a bullpen session Tuesday.
