Walker Buehler's minor league rehab assignment with the Oklahoma City Dodgers did not go as planned, as he allowed four runs over four innings against Tacoma, with manager Dave Roberts indicating that Buehler will require at least one more start before rejoining the major league team. Buehler, who has been on the injured list since June 19 due to hip inflammation, averaged 93.5 mph on his fastball but struggled with base runners, allowing five stolen bases during the game. Despite this setback, Roberts noted that Buehler has shown physical and emotional improvements since his time away from the team, including a successful bullpen session earlier in the week. Meanwhile, left-hander Jackson Ferris made an impressive start for Great Lakes, striking out seven in seven innings but suffered a tough-luck loss. Both Buehler and fellow pitcher Bobby Miller are working to regain form as the Dodgers aim to solidify their pitching staff ahead of potential playoff contention. The team is hopeful that with continued progress, Buehler can soon make a significant contribution to the roster.
