Boston Red Sox right-hander Walker Buehler has inflammation in his pitching shoulder and will be placed on the injured list.
Manager Alex Cora made the announcement Friday, after Buehler had returned to Boston to undergo tests on his arm. Cora told reporters that the team doesn't believe the injury is serious and that it expects Buehler to be back in action as soon as the 15-day IL stint ends.
Buehler had been scheduled to start against the Minnesota Twins on Friday. Brayan Bello was on the mound in his place.
