Red Sox Place Buehler on Injured List

Boston Red Sox starter Walker Buehler has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation, with manager Alex Cora stating the injury is not considered serious and Buehler is expected to miss only two starts. Buehler, who signed a one-year, $21.05 million deal this offseason, posted a 4-1 record and a 4.28 ERA over his first six outings for Boston. The Red Sox have faced multiple pitching injuries, including absences for Brayan Bello, Kutter Crawford, and Lucas Giolito. Rookie Hunter Dobbins, who has impressed in his first two MLB starts, will fill Buehler's spot in the rotation against the Minnesota Twins. Team officials remain optimistic about Buehler’s swift return despite his history of arm surgeries. Boston continues to monitor the health of other key players during this challenging stretch.
