The Boston Red Sox activated right-hander Walker Buehler from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday night’s game against the visiting New York Mets.
Buehler last pitched for the Red Sox on April 26 due to right shoulder issues. He was scratched from his next start and ensuing tests revealed he had bursitis in the shoulder.
Buehler, 30, pitched a three-inning simulated game on Thursday and indicated he fared well and was ready to return.
Buehler has started six games during his first campaign with the Red Sox. He is 4-1 with a 4.28 ERA and 29 strikeouts against nine walks in 33 2/3 innings.
Boston optioned right-hander Nick Burdi to Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. The 32-year-old made two appearances and pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings for Boston.
A member of the Los Angeles Dodgers organization until signing with Boston as a free agent last December, Buehler has undergone two Tommy John surgeries during his career, and the latter one in 2022 caused him to miss the entire 2023 season and make his 2024 debut in May.
Buehler last made it through a full season without issue in 2021 when he made a career-high 33 starts, which led the major leagues that season. He went 16-4 with a 2.47 ERA that season and was selected to the All-Star Game for the second time with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Dodgers selected Buehler with the 24th overall pick of the 2015 MLB Draft.
