Outlook Walker Buehler

Walker Buehler flashes improved form, but season-long ratio risks keep him on the fantasy fringe.

Walker Buehler has shown encouraging progress lately, registering a 3.91 ERA and a tidy 1.09 WHIP over his last six starts, including six strong innings of one-run ball on June 3rd. The second-place Padres are currently on a four-game losing streak and desperately need stability with Yu Darvish, Joe Musgrove, and Nick Pivetta all sidelined on the injured list. This rash of injuries firmly locks Buehler in as a key member of the starting rotation.

While his recent stretch is promising, our models expect some regression, projecting a 5.06 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over the rest of the season. Buehler's current 4.68 ERA and 1.33 WHIP are a far cry from his elite 2021 form, but his guaranteed rotation spot makes him worth keeping on rosters. Treat him as a high-risk, volume-based starter rather than a reliable ratio anchor.

Because Buehler already made his scheduled start this week on June 3rd, he has no remaining matchups through the weekend. He can be safely left on your bench for the next few days while you evaluate his stability. Weekly Verdict: Sit.
