Dodgers Fans React to Walker Buehler Undergoing Second Tommy John of His Career

Prior to first pitch on Tuesday afternoon, Walker Buehler announced on his Instagram page that he underwent Tommy John surgery to reconstruct his ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) and repair his flexor tendon. World-renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache performed the procedure on the Dodgers hurler. 

Buehler is now set to miss the rest of the 2022 season, the entirety of the 2023 season, and will likely miss most of the first half of the 2024 season as he works his way back from TJ.



Dodgers fans took to Twitter to react to the big news that will have ramifications for years to come for their favorite baseball team.
