Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler robbed of duty at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia

ARCADIA, Calif. (KABC) — Eyewitness News has learned that Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler was robbed of his expensive watch at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia.

It is unclear when the incident occurred, but ABC7 learned that a crowd of people surrounded Buehler and his wife, McKenzie Marcinek. At that moment, someone allegedly unbuttoned his shirt sleeve and took the watch.

Eyewitness News contacted Arcadia police on Monday for more information but was referred to a detective who did not return calls.

Meanwhile, a Dodgers spokesperson had no comment on the incident.

This comes as Buehler prepares to take the mound in Game 3 of the National League Division Series Tuesday in San Diego.

Buehler grew up in Lexington, Kentucky and is a lifelong fan of horse racing.

Buehler even has a micro stake in the American thoroughbred racehorse Authentic, which was trained by Bob Baffert and won the 2020 Kentucky Derby.

Correction: An earlier version of this report stated that the incident occurred over the weekend. ABC7 is working on more information.

This is a development story. This article will be continually updated as more information becomes available.
