""I think he's given some information to our pitching coaches," said Phillies manager Rob Thompson. "He's a winner. It's like having [Zach Wheeler] around. He's a winner. He has that aura about him. "We're going to use him out of the pen in this series. Whether it's for length or for one inning, that's to be seen. Yeah, he's a great teammate. He's in the middle of everything in that clubhouse. And he's a good guy to have around. And he's got a lot of talent.""
"Buehler joined the Phillies after the Boston Red Sox, with whom he signed in the offseason, released him at the end of August. He had a 4.93 ERA during the regular season, making 26 appearances between the two teams. The right-hander spent the first seven seasons of his MLB career on the Dodgers. The Phillies didn't use Buehler in the opening game of the NLDS, which the Dodgers won 5-3 after a late-inning comeback. The Dodgers have got the better of Buehler in the only time they've faced him since his departure, scoring three runs through 4.2 innings, though they ended up losing the game to the Red Sox."
Walker Buehler joined the Philadelphia Phillies after being released by the Boston Red Sox at the end of August. Buehler posted a 4.93 ERA in 26 regular-season appearances between the two teams and spent his first seven MLB seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Rob Thompson characterized Buehler as a winner with an aura who contributes information to pitching coaches and offers bullpen flexibility for multiple innings or a single frame. The Phillies did not use Buehler in NLDS Game 1. The Dodgers won Game 1 and will start Blake Snell in Game 2.
