Still throwing in Arizona Buehler (elbow) will continue throwing to hitters at the Dodgers' training complex in Arizona, as he has yet to toss more than one inning, per MLB.com.

Impact Buehler began throwing to live hitters Aug. 9 and has continued to take part in one-inning simulated games. He appears to be progressing without any setbacks, but the fact that he hasn't yet gone more than one frame suggests that he's still several weeks away from a return. Buehler will eventually need to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment before he's cleared to make his 2023 debut with the big-league club.

Will return as starter Buehler (elbow) will return as a traditional starting pitcher, if he is able to make it back this season, according to manager Dave Roberts, MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM reports.

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. In his first time facing live hitters Wednesday since undergoing his second Tommy John surgery, Buehler touched 93 mph with his fastball during a one-inning sim game. He won't be ready at the beginning of September, but Roberts said a return sometime that month is a viable option.

Hits 93 mph in simulated game Buehler (elbow) touched 93 mph during a one-inning simulated game Wednesday at the Dodgers' spring training complex in Arizona, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact It's not the velocity we're used to seeing from Buehler, but given that it was the pitcher's first time facing hitters since undergoing Tommy John surgery -- his second -- last August, he and the team were very encouraged. "It went really well," manager Dave Roberts said of the session. "Much better than I expected." Buehler has acknowledged that his original goal of returning on September 1 isn't realistic, as he will require a few more simulated games before going out on a rehab assignment. However, the righty remains confident that he'll be able to help the Dodgers in some capacity before the end of the regular season, whether it's in a starting or relief role.

Impact It was reported last week that Buehler was close to beginning a rehab assignment, and while it's unclear if he will officially start one in the coming days, he appears ready to take another step in his recovery.

Nearing rehab assignment Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Buehler (elbow) is "on the verge" of beginning a rehab assignment, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Buehler is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday in San Diego and could then head out to one of the Dodgers' minor-league affiliates as he prepares to return to live games. Roberts told reporters that they are expecting the 29-year-old back -- as a starter -- in the early part of September. He is closing in on the 12-month mark from Tommy John surgery.
