With the rumors around the Boston Red Sox moving Walker Buehler to the bullpen, the ball club has officially made the move in what has been a frustrating year for the former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher. As rumors around the Red Sox and Buehler have been around due to his struggles, the team has now decided to move him out of the starting rotation, according to Pete Abraham.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Red Sox are removing Walker Buehler from the rotation, per [Pete Abraham],\u201d the official MLB account wrote on X, formerly Twitter. \u201cBuehler has a 5.40 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in 22 starts this season.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the season so far, Buehler has recorded a 5.40 ERA to go along with 82 strikeouts and a 7-7 record, as the last start against the Baltimore Orioles saw him go four innings, allowing two earned runs, four walks, and four hits. Boston manager Alex Cora would be non-committal in the future of Buehler’s future in the rotation when asked if he would start Monday against the Orioles.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t talked about it yet,\u201d Cora said, via NESN.<\/p>\n

With the Red Sox currently in a series against the New York Yankees, fans have been concerned about Buehler’s performance, especially since he was given a one-year, $21.05 million contract before the season. Still, the decision to move him to the bullpen wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment thought, as it has been a \u201cpossibility\u201d to the team, according to Chris Cotillo of Mass Live.<\/p>\n

\u201cRed Sox decision-makers are discussing the possibility of moving Buehler to the bullpen before his next scheduled start Monday in Baltimore, according to multiple sources, and there\u2019s a possibility he\u2019s available in relief as soon as this weekend\u2019s series at Yankee Stadium,\u201d Cotillo wrote. \u201cBefore Thursday\u2019s series opener, manager Alex Cora \u2014 in a departure from past statements about Buehler \u2014 wouldn\u2019t commit to him taking his next turn in the rotation.\u201d<\/p>\n

At any rate, it remains to be seen if Buehler will succeed in his new role, as looking at Boston, the team currently has a 69-59 record, which puts them third in the AL East before Friday’s game against the Yankees.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n
