Buchanan ready for return to Phillies' rotation
4/25/15: David Buchanan strikes out Jonny Gomes in the top of the 2nd inningSAN FRANCISCO -- On Saturday, Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher David Buchanan is scheduled to make his first Major League start since April 30, when he surrendered seven runs in 4 1/3 innings to the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Phillies then optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley two days later.
"Once you get sent down, you can't wait to get back," Buchanan said. "I've been doing everything I can to get back."
Buchanan suffered a gruesome ankle injury in an attempt to field a ground ball May 17.
