Four days removed from suffering a flexor tendon strain in his right elbow, Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler told reporters Tuesday he is hopeful of being able to return to the mound this season. Buehler said he will be shut down for six weeks, at which point he’ll be reevaluated. Buehler also told reporters he had a bone spur removed from his elbow on Monday in an arthroscopic operation performed by team physician Neal ElAttrache. The procedure is something Buehler had considered having done in the offseason the last three years. “Honestly, I don’t know how the questions were posed to [Turner], so I don’t need to go back and clarify,” he said.
