The 28-year-old right-handed pitcher appeared in 12 games this season but was far from his All-Star season of 2021. He was 6-3 in those dozen starts with a 4.02 ERA and 58 strikeouts. Additionally, Buehler had a WAR of 0.4 — among the lowest of his career — to go along with a 4.15 RA/9.
His last start came on June 10 against the San Francisco Giants. He allowed three runs on four hits in four innings with six strikeouts.
