Red Sox's Walker Buehler: Quality start against Rays
Rotowire
Buehler took a no-decision Thursday against the Rays, giving up three runs on five hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out two.
Thursday marked the first time that Buehler had thrown at least six innings since June 11, giving the right-hander his fifth quality start of 2025. He's punched out fewer than four batters in each of his last five appearances, and he's walked at least three in four of those five starts. Buehler has had a disappointing campaign so far, as his 6.12 ERA and 1.56 WHIP through 78 frames would be career worsts if they stand. He'll remain difficult to trust from a fantasy perspective coming out of the All-Star break.

Red Sox's Walker Buehler: Rebounds for sixth win
Rotowire
Buehler (6-6) earned the win Saturday in Washington, giving up three runs (two earned) on eight hits and no walks over five innings. He struck out two.
Buehler certainly wasn't dominant, as he induced just seven whiffs on 100 pitches (65 strikes) and tied a season low in strikeouts, but the two earned runs allowed are his best mark since May 25. The veteran right-hander entered Saturday's contest having walked 14 batters across his prior three outings, and it was just his second start of the season issuing no free passes. Despite the bounce-back performance, Buehler's 6.25 ERA and 1.58 WHIP through 15 starts this year don't inspire much confidence.

Red Sox's Walker Buehler: Expected to make next start
Rotowire
Buehler is expected to make his next start scheduled for Saturday against the Nationals, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. "He's scheduled to make his next one," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. "He's healthy, eager to work and like I said yesterday, he feels like he's getting close to finding it."
Buehler had another challenging outing Sunday, when he was unable to go longer than four innings for a third consecutive start. He now owns a 6.45 ERA through 14 starts and will remain in the rotation for at least one more turn. Injuries currently leave the team light on starting depth, but newcomer Kyle Harrison, Hunter Dobbins (elbow) and Tanner Houck (elbow) are potential replacements.

Red Sox's Walker Buehler: Struggles again in loss
Rotowire
Buehler (5-6) yielded four runs on four hits and three walks over four innings Sunday, striking out three and taking a loss against Toronto.
Buehler got into trouble immediately Sunday, serving up back-to-back homers to Addison Barger and Vladimir Guerrero in the first inning. Toronto then plated two more runs in the fourth.

During that span, he's seen his season ERA jump from 5.01 to 6.45 across 67 total innings. Buehler is 1-5 with a 9.29 ERA over his last seven starts. He's in line to start in Washington next weekend.

Red Sox's Walker Buehler: Issues seven walks Monday
Rotowire
Buehler gave up five runs on three hits and seven walks while striking out three batters over four innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Monday.
Buehler couldn't harness his control in the outing, throwing just 46 of 94 pitches for strikes and handing out a career-high seven free passes. Four of those walks came in the first inning, when Buehler also hit two batters and gave up all five of the runs on his line. The veteran right-hander has had a terrible June, posting an 11.57 ERA with a 14:14 K:BB through four starts spanning 16.1 frames. That's pushed his season ERA up to an ugly 6.29, and it's fair to wonder if Boston will intervene and try to find a way to get him back on track.
Red Sox's Walker Buehler: Shelled in fifth loss Tuesday
Rotowire
Buehler (5-5) was saddled with the loss Tuesday against the Mariners, giving up eight runs on eight hits and four walks in 3.1 innings. He struck out two.
Buehler was shelled for a season-worst eight runs after matching his season high in innings pitched his last time out, and the four walks also represented a season worst. The 30-year-old right-hander generated 12 whiffs but fanned just two, and he's now surrendered at least one homer in nine of his 12 outings this year. Buehler owns a rough 5.95 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 53:22 K:BB over 59 innings during his first year with Boston, making him difficult to trust in his next scheduled appearance against the Angels.
Red Sox's Walker Buehler: Bounces back in seven strong frames
Rotowire
Buehler (5-4) tallied the win Wednesday against the Rays after giving up three runs on six hits and one walk in seven innings. He struck out seven.
It was an encouraging bounce-back performance for Buehler, who was crushed for a season-high seven runs in his previous start against the Yankees. The 30-year-old right-hander tied his second-highest strikeout total of the year, and he fired a season-high seven frames for his fourth quality start of the campaign. Buehler will look to further improve on his 5.01 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 51:18 K:BB over 55.2 innings in his next outing, which is set to come at pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park against a Mariners club that has a .600 OPS at home since May 1.
Buehler (4-4) took the loss against the Yankees on Friday, allowing seven runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks with two strikeouts over two innings.
Buehler surrendered five runs on two homers in the first inning and needed 67 pitches to get through just two frames, marking his shortest outing of the season. The 30-year-old has now yielded 10 earned runs over his past two starts, pushing his ERA from 3.95 to 5.18. He also owns a 1.44 WHIP and 44:17 K:BB across 48.2 innings and is slated for a home matchup with the Rays next week.
Red Sox's Walker Buehler: Allows five runs in loss
Rotowire
Buehler (4-3) took the loss against Atlanta on Saturday, allowing five runs on 10 hits and two walks with six strikeouts over 5.2 innings.
He was primarily hurt by two long balls in the fourth inning, including a two-run blast off the bat of Ronald Acuna. Acuna managed just nine swinging strikes on 106 pitches, snapping a streak of six consecutive starts yielding three earned runs or fewer. The 30-year-old will bring a 4.44 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 42:15 K:BB over 46.2 innings into a tough road matchup with the Yankees next weekend.

Red Sox's Walker Buehler: Ejected in return from IL
Rotowire
Buehler didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Mets, walking two batters and striking out four over 2.1 scoreless, no-hit innings before being ejected from the game for arguing balls and strikes.
The right-hander was looking good in his first big-league outing since April 26, racking up 16 called or swinging strikes among his 52 pitches, but it was a call Buehler didn't get against Juan Soto that brought his night to an abrupt end. The important takeaway from the performance was that Buehler's shoulder seemed healthy. He sports a 4.00 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 33:11 K:BB through 36 innings on the season, and he'll look to keep his emotions in check in his next start, which lines up to come at home this weekend against the Orioles.
