The rookie is in the midst of a modest five-game hitting streak, going 7-for-21 (.333 average) with three RBI over that span. Walker has proven so far that his bat will play in the majors, slashing .282/.339/.455 with nine homers, 28 RBI and 24 runs while chipping in three steals over 227 plate appearances.

Launches eighth homer Walker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-0 win over the White Sox.

Impact His ninth-inning shot off Tanner Banks gave Walker his second homer and third extra-base hit in the last four games. The rookie outfielder has solidified his spot in the St. Louis lineup since returning from Triple-A at the beginning of June, batting .296 (32-for-108) over his last 30 games with six of his eight home runs on the year and 14 of his 25 RBI.

Homers in loss Walker went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 10-9 loss to the Marlins.

Impact Walker put the Cardinals ahead with the ninth-inning blast, which came with two outs and two strikes. It ultimately postponed the inevitable, as Jordan Hicks blew the save chance. After hitting safely in 17 straight games to close out June, Walker's bat has cooled in July -- he's gone just 4-for-24 over his first six contests this month. The rookie is at a .286/.351/.452 slash line with seven homers, 24 RBI, 18 runs scored, seven doubles and three stolen bases through 47 contests.

Not in lineup Wednesday Walker is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Astros.

Impact This appears to be a routine night off for the red-hot rookie, who extended his hitting streak to 16 games in the Cardinals' defeat of Houston on Tuesday. Brendan Donovan, Lars Nootbaar and Dylan Carlson will start across the outfield Wednesday.

JUNE 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to lineup Walker (illness) is starting at designated hitter and hitting fifth in Saturday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Walker was held out of Wednesday's game against Washington, though the issue was considered minor. He'll return to the order and look to extend his hitting streak to 14 games.

JUNE 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Battling illness Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that Walker is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Washington due to an illness, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Marmol implied that Walker's illness is viewed as only a minor concern, so the rookie outfielder doesn't look as though he'll be at any risk of missing the Cardinals' upcoming two-game series with the Cubs in London this weekend. Walker may even be available Wednesday in a pinch-hitting capacity, though the Cardinals will be rolling out a starting outfield of Lars Nootbaar, Tommy Edman and Dylan Carlson in the series finale.

Sitting Wednesday Walker is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Nationals, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Walker will get a breather after he went 3-for-7 with a run scored and four strikeouts over the first two games of the series with the Nats. The rookie now owns a 13-game hit streak, batting .400 with four homers, three doubles, eight RBI, six runs and a stolen base over that stretch. Lars Nootbaar will slide over to left field while Dylan Carlson enters the lineup in right field and bats seventh in the series finale with Washington.

JUNE 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets first start at DH Walker is in the designated hitter spot and batting sixth Monday against the Nationals.

Impact Walker's first career start at DH coincides with Lars Nootbaar's (back) return from the injured list. While it's difficult to imagine the Cardinals will confine Walker to DH at this point in his career, it's pretty clear their best defensive alignment doesn't Brendan Donovan will be in left field Monday.

Homer and steal in win Walker went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Mets.

Impact Walker homered for the second game in a row, and it's his fourth long ball during an 11-game hitting streak. The rookie is batting .395 (15-for-38) during the streak. He's shown pretty good contact skills so far with a reasonable 20.1 percent strikeout rate. For the season, Walker is slashing .296/.362/.488 with six homers, 19 RBI, 14 runs scored and three stolen bases through 35 contests.

JUNE 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Swats fifth homer Walker went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Mets.

Impact His third-inning shot off Kodai Senga proved to be the game-winning hit, giving the Cards an early 4-1 lead. Walker extended his hitting streak to 10 games in the process, a stretch that's seen him bat .400 (14-for-35) with three of his five big-league homers on the year as well as a much-improved 17.9 percent strikeout rate. There are still rough patches in his game to work on -- he's gone 0-for-3 on steal attempts during his hitting streak -- but the 21-year-old has merely scratched the surface of his talent so far.

Knocks three hits Walker went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Reds.

Impact Walker drilled a home run in the second inning and added a pair of singles later in the contest. It was his first multi-hit effort since returning from Triple-A Memphis earlier this month and he's now gone 7-for-24 (.292) with two long balls since the promotion. He improved his season slash line to .278/.333/.433 with seven extra-base hits through 27 games.

Launches home run Walker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Rangers.

Impact Walker launched a 430-foot blast to left field off Dane Dunning in the sixth inning to bring the Cardinals within two runs. It was his first extra-base hit and first RBI in five games since rejoining the big club. He's started in every game thus far since being called back up but has gone just 3-for-18 with a 2:2 BB:K. It seems as though the Cardinals are giving him an opportunity to be an everyday player while working through struggles he may encounter as he continues to adjust to MLB pitching.
