Red Sox starter Walker Buehler talked about his shoulder injury for the first time Sunday, claiming he was "embarrassed" to be sidelined by such a minor ailment.

Speaking to Alex Speier of The Boston Globe and Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic, Buehler said he thinks he’ll miss two or three starts but should be good to go afterwards. He described his shoulder issue as “relatively minor bursitis” and suggested that if the Red Sox were in the playoffs he would likely have tried to pitch through it.
