It was another start to forget for Walker Buehler on Friday night, something the Dodgers have unfortunately become accustomed to lately. The hard-throwing righty came out and got roughed up for 3 earned runs over 4 innings of work in a bad loss to the Giants. But that wasn’t the worst part.
Buehler exited the game after 4 innings and just 70 pitches. The Dodgers would later announce that he left the game early with discomfort in his throwing elbow. The pain/issue first came in the 3rd inning after he threw a breaking ball, as pointed out by Buehler himself.
