Phillies' Taijuan Walker stuns in winning debut, with mom leading cheers Phillies’ favorite boo-birds target trying to resurrect career

APRIL 3, 2025 • MCALL.COM

Shines in season debut Walker (1-0) earned the win Thursday against the Rockies, allowing three hits and a walk over six shutout innings. He struck out four.

Impact It was an excellent start to the year for Walker, who needed just 74 pitches to finish six innings. The veteran right-hander struggled to a 7.10 ERA in 83.2 innings last season, though he won the final spot in Philadelphia's opening-day rotation after Ranger Suarez (back) landed on the injured list. Walker certainly earned another turn after Thursday's outing -- he's currently lined up for a road matchup in Atlanta next week.

MARCH 23, 2025 • MLB.COM

Nabs rotation spot Manager Rob Thomson said Sunday that Walker will be included in Philadelphia's season-opening rotation, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact The veteran right-hander entered camp with the expectation of working as a reliever, but he'll instead be in the rotation since Ranger Suarez (back) headed to the injured list. Walker had a 6.92 ERA and 6:3 K:BB over 13 innings during spring training, and he fared even worse in 19 regular-season appearances in 2024 with a 7.10 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 58:37 K:BB.

Could be next man up in rotation Walker took the loss in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees after giving up six runs (three home runs) on nine hits and two walks with just one strikeout in 3.2...

Impact With Ranger Suarez dealing with mild back stiffness, it's become uncertain whether he'll be ready for the start of the regular season. If Suarez is unable to make his first turn in the rotation or needs to begin the campaign on the injured list, Walker is the next man up on the depth chart to fill his spot. Walker is in line to get one more start this spring, and he's very likely to make the Opening Day roster despite carrying 6.92 ERA and 1.69 WHIP with six punchouts over 13 frames in exhibition play. Walker's name has been previously mentioned in trade rumors, although the likelihood of the Phillies moving the veteran righty is decreased at the moment due to Suarez's injury.

Solid spring continues Friday Walker appears likely to make the Opening Day roster due to Matt Strahm's shoulder injury, but Walker could be a trade candidate this season, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inqui...

Impact After giving up just two runs on four hits and one walk over four innings in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees, Walker now sports a 3.38 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with five strikeouts across 9.1 frames to further solidify his case to be part of the Opening Day roster. Lauber notes Walker isn't a great fit for the bullpen because he's functioned as a starter for the majority of his career, but the veteran right-hander might draw trade interest if he continues to perform well. Lauber also notes the Phillies could hold onto Walker for long relief as insurance in case one of their starters gets injured, so the team does have some options while their rotation is healthy.
