LOS ANGELES (AP) — Walker Buehler is ready to return to the major leagues.

The two-time All-Star will be back on the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers after nearly two years following Tommy John surgery when he starts Monday against the Miami Marlins.

“Yeah, it’s been a long time and a long process but I finally put together some things at Triple-A,” Buehler said Friday before the Dodgers opened a weekend series against the Atlanta Braves. “I think we all felt pretty comfortable with Monday being the date. I’m looking forward to it.”

Buehler threw five innings in his last start in Triple-A. He was 0-2 with a 4.15 ERA in six minor-league starts, with 21 strikeouts and nine walks in 21 2/3 innings.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is thrilled with Buehler’s return to the rotation but isn’t sure what to expect in terms of innings and pitches.
