Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler has been out with a hip injury since June 19. After making three starts for Triple-A Oklahoma City, he appears close to a return to a Major League mound.
The Dodgers sent Buehler on a rehab assignment on July 26, and his first two outings did not go well — eight runs allowed across 7.1 innings.
Thursday, Buehler made his third start with the Dodgers’ Triple-A affiliate. The right-hander delivered the best of his three performances since his rehab assignment began.
Last month, it was reported that Buehler chose to work through this injury away from the Dodgers organization.
