The Boston Red Sox have decided to move veteran starting pitcher Walker Buehler to the bullpen ahead of the crucial stretch run. Buehler has struggled this season, posting a 5.40 ERA, which has prompted the team's decision. The move is an attempt by the Red Sox to find a more effective role for Buehler as the team pushes for a playoff spot. With the season nearing its conclusion, the Red Sox are looking to optimize their pitching staff and give themselves the best chance of success. Buehler, who has been a reliable starter for the Red Sox in the past, will now be tasked with providing relief support from the bullpen. The decision reflects the team's need to make adjustments and find the right balance in their pitching rotation as they navigate the crucial final stretch of the season.
