The Dodgers rightly announced that Walker Buehler was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a blister on his right hand. The move is retroactive to August 23rd. Right hand Mitch White is promoted in its place to the major leagues. White is already on the roster of 40 men. Buehler was placed last night.
It’s probably a short-term stint at the IL for Buehler, and one that could wear first-place Dodgers. Los Angeles currently leads Padres in second place through four games and holds the best record in Major League Baseball at 22-9. Buehler is a fairly straightforward starter starting the season, working on a 4.32 ERA in 25 frames, though his overall body of work since cementing himself in the LA rotation is excellent. Buehler dates from 2018 and has a 3.20 ERA with 10.3 K / 9, 2.2 BB / 9 and a 45.2 percent baseball speed.
The 25-year-old White was the second round of the Dodgers in 2016 from Santa Clara University and has since been one of her more likely arms. He scored ahead of the 2018 season among the top 100 makers of the game, and although he is not so highly rated in 2020 after some rough performances in 2018-19, he is still widely regarded as one of the 30 most likely minor hosts. of the club. White was dominant in seven Double-A starts in 2019 before (like most pitches) was rocked in 16 Triple-A appearances (6.50 ERA, 9.6 K /, 3.3 BB / 9, 1.84 HR / 9).
The Dodgers did not announce White as their starter, although it is possible he could take the hill instead of Buehler. If not, he will be in line to make his Major League debut when he first enters a game.
