Dodgers shut down Walker Buehler for 6-8 weeks with elbow strain

The Los Angeles Dodgers are going to be without Walker Buehler for some time.

The team's No. 1 starter entering the season will be shut down for 6-8 to weeks after an MRI revealed a strain in his elbow. No surgery is planned and Buehler is expected to return this season, but that obviously depends on how he recovers.

The Dodgers had already placed Buehler on the 15-day injured list ahead of Saturday's game.

Dave Roberts said Walker Buehler’s MRI revealed a strain in his elbow. No surgery planned — he will rest and rehab it.
