Yoshinobu Yamamoto will be back on the bump looking to build off his last two starts.

——

Walker Buehler‘s return is inching closer and closer.

Walker Buehler pitched with Rancho tonight. Dave Roberts said Buehler will throw another rehab outing on Thursday. Then they’ll make a decision.

As far as execution goes, Roberts said they’re “really close.”

Excited, hopeful.

The woman who caught the ball of Shohei Ohtani‘s first homer has definitely met the star now, with photographic evidence.
