Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Walker Buehler made the announcement via Instagram that he will be undergoing Tommy John surgery for the 2nd time in his career. He had his 1st Tommy John surgery in 2015. The timetable for recovery will more then likely keep Buehler sidelined for the entirety of 2023. He will be arbitration-eligible for another 2 seasons and then he is scheduled to hit free agency after the 2024 season.
Los Angeles Dodgers star right-hander Walker Buehler underwent Tommy John surgery today, he said on Instagram. He'll miss the rest of the year and almost certainly all of the 2023 season, too. This will be his second Tommy John surgery, and recovery typically takes longer. — Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) August 23, 2022
