Overview

• Manager Alex Cora said the team has not decided whether Buehler will make his scheduled start Monday in Baltimore.
• Buehler is 7-7 with a 5.40 ERA in 22 starts, and he has issued 36 walks in his last 54.1 innings over 11 outings.
• In his most recent start Wednesday, he allowed four hits and four walks over four innings against the Orioles, who won 4-3 in 11.
• Boston is discussing moving him to the bullpen, with reports noting the shift is not yet finalized and could begin with relief work this weekend against the Yankees.
• Contingency plans include using Richard Fitts or recalling Kyle Harrison or Cooper Criswell for the next rotation turn, and a role change could affect Buehler’s remaining start-based bonuses.
