MLB world reacts to Dodgers announcement

The Los Angeles Dodgers made news on Friday and not in a promising way for their future in October. The team announced that right-handed pitcher Walker Buehler will miss the remainder of the 2023 season and gear up for 2024.

Buehler, a member of the Dodgers since 2017, missed all of this season to this point after he underwent Tommy John Surgery. While Buehler recently returned to the mound for rehab starts, he is being shut down anyway.

“Today, the Dodgers are announcing that right-handed pitcher Walker Buehler, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery, will not return during the 2023 season, with an eye toward coming back at the start of the 2024 campaign,” the Dodgers announced. The statement included words from Buehler himself.

“My goal since last year has been to return to a Major League mound this season. After many conversations with my doctor, the Dodgers’ front office, training staff, and my family, we concluded that waiting until next season is the right course of action. I am disappointed that I will not be able to help this team go after a title in the 2023 postseason, but I look forward to returning fully healthy in 2024 and bringing another World Series to L.A.,” he said.

The former Vanderbilt starting pitcher has impressed during his MLB career, so hopefully, TJS won’t be his undoing when he returns next season.

Dodgers fans and the MLB world reacted to the announcement made about Walker Buehler and his status.

Content aside (honestly good for him for not pushing it) seeing this template causes so much anxiety because my immediate thought is “what awful/stupid thing did you/a player do this time?” https://t.co/PLM4BxXAEn
