""Things play out in October that you can't foresee," Friedman said."
""Walker Buehler was a starting pitcher for us last year, and finished out Game 5 of the World Series," Friedman said."
""We're expecting him to be a starter for us," Friedman said, "and depending on everything else, we'll figure out where to go from there.""
Shohei Ohtani is expected to be part of the Dodgers' starting rotation in October while the team remains open to alternative pitching uses if needed. Andrew Friedman emphasized the unpredictability of postseason situations and cited Walker Buehler finishing Game 5 of the World Series after serving as a starter as an example. The Dodgers have considered the bullpen's current state when evaluating Ohtani's potential relief role. Ohtani has recently delivered strong pitching performances, including five no-hit innings and 8.2 shutout innings over his last two starts, with a 3.29 ERA and a 98 mph average fastball.
