Buchholz (2-5) gave up one run on four hits and one walk while striking out six through five innings to earn the win over the Rays on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Buchholz allowed a solo home run in the fourth inning but that would be all for the Rays in his five frames. The win was the 90th of his career for the 35-year-old. Buchholz finishes the season with a 6.56 ERA and 39 strikeouts in 59 innings.

Buchholz gave up six runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four through four innings in a no-decision against the Orioles on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Buchholz was hit hard, allowing three home runs, including two in the fifth inning. The 35-year-old has a 1-5 record with a 7.00 ERA and 33 strikeouts through 11 starts this season. Buchholz is scheduled to make his next start Sunday against the Rays at Rogers Centre.

Buchholz allowed seven earned runs on 10 hits and no walks while striking out four across 3.2 innings Wednesday against the Orioles. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Buchholz was tattooed for six extra-base hits in his short outing, including two home runs. Prior to this start, he had worked fairly effectively, allowing 11 earned runs across 21.2 innings spanning his last four starts. Still, his 6.48 ERA and 1.48 WHIP across 50 innings this season indicate that he's had trouble putting together quality outings on a consistent basis. Buchholz is likely to draw a rematch against the Orioles in his next outing, currently projected to come on Monday.

Buchholz (1-5) was charged with the loss Thursday against the Red Sox, surrendering four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four across four innings.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old veteran struggled against a volatile Red Sox lineup, registering a season-high tying four strikeouts, which isn't exactly noteworthy. On the bright side, Buchholz didn't allow any home runs for the third time this season. The right-hander was making his ninth start as a Blue Jay, and his first career start against the Red Sox, who drafted him in the first round 14 years ago. He'll take a 5.63 ERA and 1.38 WHIP into a more favorable matchup at Baltimore on Wednesday.

Buchholz (1-4) allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits with no walks and three strikeouts across six innings while taking a loss against the Rays on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
He didn't pitch poorly, but Buchholz didn't receive any run support in the loss. The 35-year-old has been inconsistent with his control, but his ERA is trending in the right direction, as it sits at 3.57 in the last three outings. Overall, Buchholz is 1-4 with a 5.31 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 21 strikeouts in 42.1 innings this year. He will start again Thursday at home against the Red Sox.

Buchholz (1-3) allowed two runs on three hits with five walks and three strikeouts across 5.2 innings while earning a victory against the Astros on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a tough season for the 35-year-old, as he missed three months with a shoulder injury, but Buchholz finally has his first win of the year. He pitched well in his last start, which was his first one since May, but he took a loss despite yielding just three hits. Buchholz owns a 3.08 ERA in two outings since his return from the shoulder ailment, and is 1-3 with a 5.45 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 18 strikeouts in 36.1 innings this season. He is scheduled to pitch next at the Rays on Friday.

Buchholz (0-3) allowed two runs on three hits over six innings Sunday, striking out three batters and taking the loss to Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
It was Buchholz's best start since allowing just one run on April 13 but his offense didn't give him much help. Dylan Moore tagged him with a solo shot in the third inning before Kyle Seager drove in a run in the fourth. His ERA still sits far too high at 5.87 over 30.2 innings this season. Still looking for his first win, he'll host the dangerous Astros next Sunday.

The Blue Jays reinstated Buchholz (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
As anticipated, Buchholz will make his first start for the Blue Jays in nearly four months after he wrapped up a rehab assignment at High-A Dunedin last weekend. Buchholz topped out at four innings and 67 pitches in his fourth and final rehab outing, so he'll likely face some light restrictions as he steps back into the Toronto rotation. Nick Kingham (oblique) was designated for assignment to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for Buchholz.

Manager Charlie Montoyo said that Buchholz (shoulder) would likely be reinstated from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Mariners, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
On the shelf since early May with a right shoulder strain, Buchholz is finally ready to return from nearly a four-month absence following a successful four-start rehab assignment in the lower minors. Buchholz was at his sharpest in his most recent rehab outing Aug. 18 with High-A Dunedin, when he struck out seven over four innings. The 35-year-old only built up to 67 pitches in that start, so he'll likely face some light workload restrictions when he slots back into the Toronto rotation this weekend.

Buchholz shifted his rehab assignment to High-A Dunedin on Sunday, working four innings and giving up one run on four hits and no walks while striking out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Making the third start of his rehab assignment, Buchholz acquitted himself well while pushing his pitch count up to 67 and testing himself against full-season competition for the first time. Buchholz will likely make at least one more minor-league start at an affiliate to be determined before potentially slotting back into the Toronto rotation in late August or early September.
