Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Max Scherzer will not make his scheduled start in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series on Saturday night.
Scherzer's replacement for the Dodgers' road game at Truist Park is Walker Buehler, who will face the Atlanta Braves and right-hander Ian Anderson. Atlanta leads the series 3-2 and will advance to the World Series with a win.
Buehler taking the ball requires him starting on short rest for the second time in his career, after previously doing so in Game 4 of the NL Division Series against the San Francisco Giants.
