The Dodgers postponed a bullpen session for rookie pitcher Walker Buehler, who is recovering from a microfracture in his ribcage. Buehler was expected to throw off a mound Saturday, but did not. Manager Dave Roberts indicated it was possible Buehler could complete this assignment Sunday.

“Walker is just still a little sore with the ribs when he plays catch,” Roberts said. “Walker, it’s more day to day, and figure out when we can get him off the mound. Once we check that box, we’ll try to ramp him up.”

Buehler absorbed a line drive May 21.
