Buchter was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.
The veteran lefty had been extremely effective in the big league prior to a mid-August run of outings that saw his spin rate noticeably dip, and he was then sent down to Triple-A. He only pitched one inning in 10 days with El Paso, so he was probably prescribed some rest with the hope that his stuff would bounce back. If he can regain his form, he could be used in the seventh and eighth inning in September, but he is unlikely to be called upon in any save situations.
