Jordan Walker - Page 8 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Moves up to two spot Walker is starting in right field and batting second in Friday's game versus the Phillies.

Impact Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol has reportedly considered moving the slumping Willson Contreras down from the No. 2 spot in the batting order. Contreras is getting a day off Friday, but it's possible Walker could stick in the two hole after Contreras is back in action.

Promising start to season continues Walker went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a stolen base and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 9-7 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

Impact After singling to plate a run in the second inning, Walker swatted a solo shot off Angels right-hander Kyle Hendricks during the fourth frame. The former top prospect has now hit safely in each of his first four games and is slashing .429/.529/.643 through 17 plate appearances thus far this season. Walker is looking to settle into the major leagues in 2025 after looking overmatched at the dish in 2024 and spending the bulk of last year in the minor leagues.

Back in action Saturday Walker (knee) will start in right field and bat sixth in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against Toronto.

Impact Inflammation in Walker's left knee forced him out of the Cards' exhibition game March 5, and he has been sidelined ever since. After more than a week of rehab, he'll now return to competitive action before the end of the Grapefruit League schedule, keeping his availability for Opening Day intact. Walker has been a non-factor at the plate this spring, however, going just 2-for-14 with two RBI and eight strikeouts over six contests.

Aiming to return to lineup Saturday Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Thursday that Walker (knee) is tracking toward a return to the lineup Saturday against the Blue Jays, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Walker began a running progression earlier this week and has also taken batting practice and tracked flyballs as he works his way back from left knee inflammation. He has missed over a week of action, but as long as he returns Saturday as expected and doesn't have any setbacks, Walker should be fine for Opening Day.

Goes through running progression Walker (knee) went through a running progression Tuesday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Walker is expected to progress to lateral movements next as he works his way back from left knee inflammation. A return to Grapefruit League action should come after that. Walker hasn't played since tweaking his knee March 4 but is expected to have enough time to ramp back up for Opening Day.

Will be re-evaluated Monday Walker (knee) progressed to hitting soft toss Saturday and is set to be re-evaluated Monday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Nursing some inflammation in his left knee, Walker had taken dry swings Friday and has also played some catch. The young outfielder should be cleared to ramp up his activities if his evaluation Monday goes well. Walker is projected to be the Cardinals' primary right fielder this season.

Progressing well Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that Walker (knee) was able to take some dry swings and play catch Friday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Marmol described Walker's progress two days after being diagnosed with inflammation in his left knee as "a little ahead of what I expected," adding that he's "super encouraged" with how the outfielder is feeling. Walker will be held out of Grapefruit League action for a few more days but is tracking toward avoiding a stint on the injured list.

Impact The news is good, as Walker is not dealing with any structural damage after tweaking the knee when he stepped on a sprinkler head while pursuing a flyball during Grapefruit League play Tuesday. He will miss around a week of games in order to allow the knee to "calm down," per Marmol, but it doesn't sound as though Walker's Opening Day availability is in doubt.
