Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler, who has been out of action since undergoing elbow surgery in August 2022, is now expected to be ready for the regular season. Buehler is recovering well, recently having an 'outstanding' bullpen session. General Manager Brandon Gomes has expressed the team's intention to balance short and long-term goals regarding Buehler's return. Meanwhile, the Dodgers are preparing for the season with the addition of Yoshinobu Yamamoto and two-time AL MVP Shohei Ohtani to their roster.
