Buehler pitched into the fourth inning and retired the first seven hitters he faced.
Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler throws against the Pittsburgh Pirates during the first inning of a baseball game Monday, May 30, 2022, in Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES – Walker Buehler’s return to the mound is more than just an abstract concept now after the rehabbing right-hander pitched 3 1/3 innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.
Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday the goal is to build Buehler up to six innings and 90 pitches before he is back in the big leagues again. That would mean at least three more minor league outings. Buehler now will return to Los Angeles for his between-start work, with his next outing expected to be with Oklahoma City at an undetermined date later this week.Mookie Betts was participating in pregame drills with defensive coach Clayton McCullough, taking sharp grounders from close range to his backhand side part of his work.
“And I just really respect the way that, he went out there publicly and said that playing a different position isn’t going to affect the offensive performance, and was never going to use the change in position as an excuse,” Roberts said. “And it showed to be true.”New St. Louis Cardinals backup shortstop Brandon Crawford heard the boos from Dodgers fans Saturday and grinned while suggesting it actually warmed his heart on a cold and rainy night.
