Buehler has had a rough 2025 campaign, his first away from Los Angeles, after signing a one-year deal worth $21.05 million. He posted a 5.38 ERA in 2024, but only logged 75.1 innings due to injury. Buehler missed all of the 2023 season due to Tommy John Surgery, and then went on the shelf with a hip injury in June.
