The Opener: Buehler, Twins, Guardians, MLBTR Chat

By Nick Deeds | May 20, 2025 at 8:58am CDT

Here are three things for MLBTR readers to keep an eye on today:

1. Buehler back from injured list:

The Red Sox have had plenty of pitching struggles this year between health and ineffectiveness, with ace southpaw Garrett Crochet standing out as the only consistent bright spot. Fortunately, they’re getting some reinforcements from the injured list. Right-hander Walker Buehler is expected to be active and on the mound for tonight’s game against the Mets. The two-time All-Star is in the midst of his first full season since 2021, and while he’s been merely average through six starts this year with a 4.28 ERA (98 ERA+) and 4.29 FIP, that should still provide a notable boost to Boston’s pitching staff. In this evening’s game, he’ll face off against Mets righty Clay Holmes. Holmes has been generally excellent in 2025, with a 3.14 ERA through nine starts, though he has looked a bit less dominant so far in May (4.00 ERA, 4.60 FIP) than he was in April (2.64 ERA, 2.22 FIP).

2. Twins, Guardians continue suspended game:

Yesterday’s game between Minnesota and Cleveland was suspended after three innings due to inclement weather, with the Twins leading by a score of 2-1. The suspended game is expected to continue today at 5:10pm local time, and today’s regularly scheduled game will begin 30 minutes after its conclusion. That, of course, is pending any further interruptions from mother nature; today’s forecast suggests rain throughout the afternoon and evening in Minneapolis. According to MLB.com, all ticketholders for today’s regularly scheduled game are also welcome to attend the continuation of yesterday’s suspended game while those with ticketholders can click this link for details on exchange and refund policies.

3. MLBTR chat today:

All of the league’s teams have now completed around 30% of their schedule, but there’s still plenty of baseball left to go and more than two months remaining until the trade deadline on July 31. Whether you’re looking ahead to the deadline or still trying to sort between the contenders and pretenders, MLBTR’s Steve Adams has you covered in a live chat scheduled for 1pm CT today. You can click here to ask a question in advance, join in live once the chat begins, or read the transcript once the chat is complete.

    Do the Guardians/Twins get a 27th man in a case like this, since it’s technically not a full doubleheader?

      26.5th.

        The .5 is usually the shortest guy on the AAA team.

      They can activate a 27th player for today’s game, but the roster is frozen for the suspended game.

        lay – You are correct, but there are some instances where rosters are not frozen for the resumption of suspended games.

        Danny Jansen played for the Red Sox in the resumption of a suspended game last year, despite being on the Blue jays when the game was first suspended. So he played for both teams in the same game. LOL

      No, but in the event of extra innings if neither team scores in the 10th inning Albert Belle and Marty Cordova will square off in a Home Derby to determine the winner

    “…while those with ticket holders…”

    Huh?

    I really feel bad for the Dodgers. Get swept by the powerful Angels and then lose another game to the lowly Diamondbacks. Let’s hope they can get back on track. I’m rooting for that underdog…

      York – That is why I get my WS wagers in early, usually mid-April.

      Speaking of Dodgers, the return of Buehler tonight in Boston is not really that big a deal …. expectations aren’t very high with him.

      The return that Red Sox Nation is anxiously waiting for is Mr. Fitts.

      I feel more bad for the dupes who thought the Dodgers were this Harlem Globetrotters-like force of unstoppable talent that would spell the end for the sport of baseball.

        Stein – Well if Glasnow and Snell had stayed healthy, they would probably be at least 6 wins better …. but injuries can happen to any player at any time, that’s why they play the game on the field and not on paper!

        As long as they don’t make the WS …. that would be a very good thing ;O)

    The Sox badly need a strong outing from Buehler tonight. Hopefully he picks up where he left off before the injury
