Walker Buehler’s injury was bad, his first start off the DL was worse, and yesterday’s demotion to the minor leagues was the result of the two. Buehler was optioned to Single-A Rancho Cucamonga where the team hopes he can stretch himself back out as a starter in a low-stress environment. Buehler will make a few starts at Single-A before rejoining the rotation and in a way, the move benefits the team just as much as it does Buehler and his health. Buehler’s absence should allow for the team to really sort out who belongs in the rotation and who does not as well as prep for what could be a big trade deadline.
