The Boston Red Sox activated right-hander Walker Buehler from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday night's game against the visiting New York Mets.
Buehler had not pitched for the Red Sox since April 26 because of right shoulder issues. He was scratched from his next start and ensuing tests revealed he had bursitis in the shoulder.
Buehler, 30, pitched a three-inning simulated game Thursday and indicated he fared well and was ready to return.
Buehler has started six games during his first season with the Red Sox. He is 4-1 with a 4.
