The right-hander had hoped to return from his second Tommy John surgery before the end of this season and even pitched two innings in Triple-A on Sunday.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Walker Buehler’s approach to returning from a second Tommy John surgery was similar to his approach when facing hitters – aggressive with high expectations of himself.
“My goal since last year has been to return to a Major League mound this season,” Buehler said in a statement released by the Dodgers. “After many conversations with my doctor, the Dodgers’ front office, training staff and my family, we concluded that waiting until next season is the right course of action.
Buehler will not make any more rehab appearances for OKC and will report for spring training next year with the expectation of being at full strength for the start of the 2024 season.
