The Dodgers lost a very big name on Monday afternoon. Just hours before the first pitch in Milwaukee, the team announced that Walker Buehler would need to undergo surgery on his elbow that would end his 2022 season. They were expecting him to be back for the postseason run, possibly rejoining the starting rotation.
Instead, the Dodgers will need to go with the guys that they already have. Buehler is set to undergo surgery in Los Angeles next week, then the team will know more about the underlying issue. In a recent update from Dave Roberts, he said that the team is unsure what the issue is for the moment.
