GAME LOG

INJURIES

Returns in big way Walker went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Saturday's spring game against the Guardians.
Impact This was Walker's first appearance since he was hit by a pitch on the hip Monday. He shook off the downtime early, launching a 1-0 pitch 430 feet to deep left field in the second inning. He walked and stole a base an inning later and nearly missed a second home run on his final at-bat in the fifth.
2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Back in action Walker (hip) is starting at first base and batting cleanup Saturday against the Guardians.
Impact He was removed from Monday's game after a hit-by-pitch and took a few days to get right, but the injury was apparently quite minor. Walker should be Arizona's everyday first baseman this season.
3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Scratched due to bruised hip Walker was scratched from the Diamondbacks' Cactus League lineup Thursday due to lingering left hip discomfort, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Impact Walker was struck by a pitch just above his left hip this past Monday and still has some bruising. It doesn't sound like anything that would threaten his readiness for Opening Day.
4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Back in lineup Wednesday Walker (hip) is listed as the Diamondbacks' starting first baseman and cleanup hitter for Wednesday's split-squad Cactus League game against the Giants.
Impact Walker was pulled early from Monday's game against the Rangers after being hit on the left hip by a pitch, but afterward, the team described his removal from the contest as precautionary. The fact that Walker is back in the lineup two days later seemingly supports that notion, and barring any further setbacks, he'll be on track to open the season in an everyday role coming off a career-best 2022 campaign in which he slugged 36 home runs and drove in 94 runs.
6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Tentative for Wednesday Walker (hip) is penciled in for one of the two spring games Arizona plays Wednesday, Theo Mackie of the Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Walker, who was hit by a pitch on the hip Monday, did not play Tuesday. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said the injury is not serious, and that he could opt to give the first baseman another day off.
6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Removed as precaution Walker left Monday's game against the Giants after being hit in the left leg by a fastball, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Walker was able to remain in the contest immediately after being hit by the pitch, but he was later removed. After the exhibition, manager Torey Lovullo stated that had it been a regular-season game, Walker would've stayed in. He'll be considered day-to-day moving forward but isn't expected to miss any serious time.

Inks one-year deal Walker signed a one-year, $6.5 million contract with Arizona on Friday to avoid arbitration, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Walker finished 2022 with career highs in home runs (36) and RBI (94), and he recorded his highest OPS since 2019. As a result, the veteran first baseman receives a well-deserved raise from the $2.6 million he made in 2022.

Three hits during victory Walker went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Wednesday's 4-2 victory over the Brewers.
Impact Walker opened the scoring in the fourth inning with an RBI single off lefty Aaron Ashby. The first baseman finished the season on a positive note, turning in a .367 average over 30 at-bats across his final seven games. The 31-year-old had a resurgent year with a .242/.327/.477 slash line, 36 home runs, 94 RBI and 84 runs in 160 contests.

Nabs rare steal Walker went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Giants.
Impact Walker was on the back end of a double-steal in the 10th inning, which earned him his second stolen base of the campaign. The first baseman isn't renowned for his speed, as he's produced just 12 stolen bases and five triples in his major-league career. He's been much better as a power bat this year, posting an .802 OPS, .240 batting average, 36 home runs, 93 RBI and 83 runs scored through 157 contests.
OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Three hits during win Walker went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's win over San Francisco.
Impact Walker gave Arizona a 4-2 lead with an RBI double off lefty reliever Jarlin Garcia in the seventh inning in addition to a triple off righty starter Jakob Junis. The first baseman has recorded one hit or more in 13 of his last 16 games, tallying 14 RBI; however, the 31-year-old's strikeout percentage has been up, coming in at 29 percent during that span.

Knocks in three in win Walker went 1-for-4 with three RBI in Wednesday's 5-2 extra-inning win over the Astros.
Impact Walker delivered a run in the first inning on a sacrifice fly then a two-out, two-run single in the 10th. The 31-year-old first baseman has a team-high 91 RBI and counting. Walker, who also leads the team with 36 home runs, resuscitated his career in 2022 after a couple of down seasons. He's still under team control for the next two seasons and is almost certain to return as the primary first baseman in 2023.
