Buehler alone will not be a panacea. The Dodgers intend to monitor his innings and have said they will not alter that plan based on the needs of the 2018 season. Buehler is unlikely to throw much more than 150 innings, a protective measure in deference to the elbow ligament reconstruction he underwent in 2015. As Buehler approaches his limit, the team will need to find creative ways to keep him available for October — if the Dodgers can return to the playoffs for the sixth consecutive season.
