The Royals reassigned Buchholz (forearm) to minor-league camp Sunday, Josh Vernier of 610 Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move is hardly surprising as the Royals only just signed Buchholz on March 19. The 33-year-old missed most of the 2017 season after undergoing elbow surgery last April, and will likely have to prove himself with Triple-A Omaha if he is to earn a major-league opportunity in 2018.

Buchholz signed with the Royals on Monday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

The deal will pay Buchholz $1.5 million if he makes the roster, with another $250,000 in incentives. He picked one of the easier rosters to crack, but it's unclear at the moment what kind of pitcher Buchholz is. He underwent surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon in April after just his second start of the year and missed the remainder of the season. In 2016, he posted a 4.78 ERA with a 5.32 xFIP. He's had good seasons in the past, but he's now 33 and coming off of a major injury. He's likely safe to ignore in the majority of leagues until he proves he's healthy and effective.

Buchholz (forearm) said he expects to be ready to pitch in spring training, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buchholz, who is a free agent after the season, will start a throwing program in October. He has been sidelined since April after having surgery to repair a partial tear in the right flexor pronator mass of his right elbow.

Buchholz (forearm) said Wednesday that he's hopeful to resume pitching for the Phillies in September, MLB.com's Todd Zolecki reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buchholz was diagnosed with a partial tear in the right flexor pronator mass of his right elbow after departing early in his second start of the season April 11 and is the initial phase of the rehab process after requiring surgery a week ago. The Phillies outlined a four-to-six-month recovery timetable for Buchholz, but even if he meets the short end of that window, it's unclear if the team would be eager in getting him back on the mound. Buchholz is bound for free agency in the offseason, so if the Phillies are out of playoff contention once September arrives, there would be little benefit in having a 32-year-old with no future in the organization taking away innings from more promising young pitchers.

Buchholz was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies needed to clear room on the 40-man roster for newly-acquired Ty Kelly and Buchholz was the likely candidate to be removed. The righty underwent surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon in his right forearm Tuesday and will need 4-to-6 months of recovery.

Buchholz underwent successful surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon in his right forearm Tuesday and was placed on the 10-day DL.

EDGE Analysis

His will need 4-to-6 months to recover from the surgery, which was performed by Dr. James Andrews, meaning he may not return to game action prior to becoming a free agent after this season. Zach Eflin was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move and will start Tuesday against the Mets.

Buchholz (forearm) will undergo surgery Tuesday to repair a tear of the flexor pronator mass and is expected to require a three-to-five month recovery timetable, Jared Carrabis of CSN New England reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander recently visited Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion on the forearm injury, and it was quickly determined that Buchholz would require surgery to address the issue. His timetable will keep him sidelined through at least the All-Star break, and if he experiences any setbacks in his recovery, the Phillies may not get him back on the mound until September, if at all. The extended absence coupled with Buchholz's mediocre production both last season and in his first two starts with the Phillies in 2017 make him a drop candidate in just about every format.

Buchholz's MRI revealed a partial tear of the right flexor pronator mass.

EDGE Analysis

Buchholz was removed in the third inning against the mets with the forearm injury. He's heading to see Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion on Thursday, at which time a course of treatment will likely be determined for the 32-year-old.

Buchholz (forearm) will undergo an MRI on his strained right forearm Wednesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Buchholz left Tuesday's contest against the Mets early with what is being called a "strained flexor tendon". Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said that he'd be surprised if Buchholz made his next start, so it appears that the 32-year-old will likely wind up on the disabled list. More information should become available following his MRI on Wednesday.

Buchholz, who exited Tuesday's game against the Mets in the third inning, was diagnosed with a right forearm strain.

EDGE Analysis

Though not the worst-case scenario as far as arm injuries go, Buchholz's forearm strain will almost certainly land him on the disabled list. His timetable for return should become more clear after more information becomes available in the coming days.
