Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler won’t return from Tommy John surgery in 2023

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler will not return to the majors this season as he continues his recovery from Tommy John surgery. Buehler, who had previously undergone elbow ligament replacement surgery in 2015, had aimed to return to the NL West-leading Dodgers this month. "My goal since last year has been to return to a major league mound this season," Buehler said Friday in a statement released by the team.
