Impact The quickest way to get Buehler back would be to use him initially in shorter stints, either as an opener or reliever, but Roberts said in this interview that the plan will be to bring him back after he is able to build up to four innings and/or 60 pitches.

He won't be ready at the beginning of September, but Roberts said a return sometime that month is a viable option.
