Any hopes of Walker Buehler returning to the Los Angeles Dodgers\' needy rotation before the start of the postseason were officially dashed Friday when the team announced that Buehler, in the late stages of his recovery from a second Tommy John surgery, will instead focus on \"coming back at the start of the 2024 campaign.\"
\"My goal since last year has been to return to a major league mound this season,\" Buehler wrote in a statement. \"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.\"
