LOS ANGELES — The worst-case scenario has come true for Walker Buehler.
The Dodgers pitcher announced in a post on Instagram on Tuesday afternoon that he underwent Tommy John surgery, a major development that will probably keep the right-hander sidelined for most, if not all, of the 2023 season.
The Dodgers announced that Buehler had a "flexor tendon repair" during his surgery Tuesday. A defined timeline for his return has not been disclosed.
