Former Dodgers young owner Bueler's right shoulder injury is unclear, and the next time the Red Sox will start is doubtful

For Walker Buehler, it should have been a relief to start the season in full health – the first time in years he has been out of injury trouble.

However, on Thursday, May 1, Red Sox head coach Alex Cora revealed that Beehler's next starting time is uncertain due to a right shoulder problem.

By the time the Red Sox completed their three-game series in Toronto, Beehler had returned to Boston for inspection.

"We're dealing with some of Walker's situations and there will be more definitive conclusions over the weekend," Korra said, "and he's not on track to recover as expected, so we'll need to keep watching." "

In addition to Beehler's injury, Red Sox AFC Rookie of the Year favorite Kristian Campbell dropped out of Thursday's starting lineup due to right rib discomfort. The second-ranked MLB Pipeline rookie was scheduled to play in the field, with Jarren Duran moving from left field to fill the vacancy and Rob Refsnyder moving into the starting left field.

Beehler went four wins and one loss in his first six starts for the Red Sox, with a 4.28 ERA.

In the most recent start against the Guardians on April 26, Beehler conceded three points in six innings to lead the team to a 7-3 victory, and completed a high-quality start for the third time in the last four games.

Brayan Bello will lead the three-game series at home against the Twin Cities on Friday. Bueller was originally scheduled to start on Saturday, but the show is now marked as "TBD". Garrett Crochet will play in Sunday afternoon's finale against the Twins.

Bealer's shoulder injury recurrence comes as the Red Sox are fully fit — and Lucas Giolito made a strong start on Wednesday night.

Richard Fitts, who started three quality starts earlier this season, was named on the 15-day injury list on April 13 with a tight right chest muscle. Korra revealed that the team's No. 15 rookie is not yet close to making a comeback and is currently only practicing 120-foot long passing.

Left-handed Sean Newcomb moved to the bullpen to free up Jolito's place and could return to the rotation if Buele is on the 15-day injury list.

Another option is the team's No. 14 rookie, Hunter Dobbins, who went 2-0 and had a 2.45 ERA with two April starts.

Despite having the best starting depth in recent years, Buehler is still a core member of the rotation.

The two-time World Series champion signed a one-year, $21.05 million contract with the Red Sox last December after seven seasons with the Dodgers.

For Beehler, opting for the Red Sox is an ideal springboard to increase his value before regaining his freedom at the end of the season.

For Boston, Beehler's veteran credentials, playoff experience and leadership qualities make him the perfect piece of the puzzle behind 25-year-old ace Krochette.

Both sides hope that the shoulder injury will be a short-lived twist.
