Boston Red Sox fans can breathe a sigh of relief as starting pitcher Walker Buehler is set to return, bolstering a rotation that has faced numerous injuries this season. Despite a shaky start with a 4.28 ERA, his potential remains high, thanks to a strong previous track record with the Los Angeles Dodgers, including two All-Star selections and impressive Cy Young finishes. The Red Sox, currently hovering at .500, desperately need Buehler’s talent as they aim for a postseason push.

With Brayan Bello, Kutter Crawford, and Richard Fitts sidelined, Buehler's health becomes crucial. The team has shown resilience with efforts from Sean Newcomb and Hunter Dobbins, but Buehler’s return could significantly enhance their chances. Despite previous shoulder issues and missing all of 2023 due to Tommy John surgery, his presence on the mound could be a game changer as the season progresses.
