The Los Angeles Dodgers selected the contract of right-handed reliever Daniel Hudson and optioned Walker Buehler to High-A Rancho Cucamonga as a corresponding move.
Buehler is not expected to be away from the team for long, however, as he will likely be called back up as the 26th man to start one of the games during Saturday’s doubleheader against the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park.
In his first career Major League start on Monday night, Buehler tossed five shutout innings against the Miami Marlins, striking out five. He made quite the impression on Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and teammate Kiké Hernandez.
