STL • Outfielder • #18

He also picked up his 10th stolen base. The homer off Caleb Thielbar was just Walker’s sixth in 392 plate appearances this season. Since the Cardinals never did send him down in spite of his struggles this season, he retains one option year going into 2026. One imagines the Cardinals will use it, assuming that they don’t trade him this winter and he doesn’t show immediate obvious improvement next spring. He’s been one of the league’s worst players in batting .217/.281/.309 and letting him try to figure things out in the majors hasn’t worked.

As a team, the Cardinals had nine hits off of Chad Patrick and company in the ballgame, with Walker and Nolan Arenado the only players to collect more than one. It has been another very rough season at the plate for the former top prospect as Walker is slashing a miserable .220/.276/.305 with five homers, 37 RBI, eight stolen bases and a 121/24 K/BB ratio over 369 plate appearances. Like many Cardinals’ outfielders, it may end up taking a change of scenery for Walker to unlock his true potential.

With the Cardinals trailing 2-1, Walker was able to smack a two-run double off Ryan Walker to give St. Louis the win. Walker was hitless outside of that two-bagger and is still hitting just .216 on the season with a .676 OPS, but every once in a while, there’s a reminder that there’s a chance for a (very) bright future.

Walker had a big homer Thursday, but he’s 0-for-15 with seven strikeouts since. The Cardinals are using Nathan Church in right with Victor Scott II back patrolling center tonight.

The Cardinals had just taken a 2-1 lead on Thomas Saggese’s double when Walker made it a more comfortable margin. It was only Walker’s fifth homer in 312 plate appearances this season. He received a playing-time reprieve when Brendan Donovan and Victor Scott II went on the IL earlier this month, but with Scott almost back and Donovan still likely to return at some point, he’ll need to produce to remain a constant in the Cardinals lineup in September.

Walker opened the scoring in the ballgame with an RBI infield single off of Matthew Boyd in the second inning. He then clubbed a 434-foot (111.7 mph EV) solo shot off of Ryan Brasier in the sixth inning that extended the Cardinals’ advantage to 4-0. With his two-hit attack, the 23-year-old outfielder is now hitting .237/.291/.336 to go along with four homers and 31 RBI in what has been another disappointing campaign.

Walker singled in Alec Burleson in the eighth to tie it and then helped with scoring the go-ahead run as the throw came into third base on the play. Masyn Winn slid in ahead of the throw, and Walker tried advancing to second, leading to a bad throw from Alex Freeland that went into right and allowed Winn to score. Walker also stole his fifth base of the season today. He had two in his first six games of the year, one in his next 61 games and now two in his last five games. If he keeps running, there’s the chance he’ll have a little mixed-league value down the stretch. It’s not worth picking him up yet, though.

Walker poked an RBI single into right field in the ninth inning that pulled the Cardinals to within five runs at 7-2 but it was too little, too late. That was his lone hit in four at-bats on the day. For the season, the 23-year-old outfielder is hitting a disappointing .227/.285/.319 with just three homers, 28 RBI and four stolen bases in his first 249 plate appearances.

Here we go again. This base knock pushed Walker’s hitting streak to five games and he’s reached safely in 11 of 13 games since being recalled two weeks ago. The stolen base is nice to see as well. Any moderate steps in the right direction are great to see from the 23-year-old Walker.

Walker pulled the Cardinals a bit closer with an RBI double off of Anthony Desclafani in the ninth inning that made it a 5-3 ballgame. He also drew a walk, reaching base safely in three of his four plate appearances on the day. For the season, the 23-year-old outfielder is slashing a disappointing .214/.271/.305 with just three homers, 24 RBI and three stolen bases in 203 plate appearances.

Thomas Saggese was sent down on Thursday to make room. Walker, out since June 22 with appendicitis, hit just .152/.235/.348 in 51 plate appearances over 12 games on a rehab assignment. He seems likely to be a part-time player, especially with Iván Herrera apparently locked into the DH spot for now. Alec Burleson has been starting in right field and doing a pretty nice job.

While those are not eye-opening numbers, Walker played the whole game in right field, which is more important to the Cardinals. He should play another game or two in the outfield to confirm he’s healthy enough for back-to-backs and then could return to St. Louis. How the team will manage starts between Walker, Brendan Donovan, Nolan Gorman, and Alec Burleson will be the bigger fantasy question.

The 23-year-old outfielder has been shelved since June 25 due to appendicitis. He’ll remain there through the weekend before being re-evaluated. Walker is eligible to return from the injured list on Wednesday and it sounds like that’s when he could rejoin the Cardinals.

We’re all hoping Walker makes a speedy recovery. The harsh reality is that he’s been a complete non-factor this season for fantasy purposes, batting .210/.267/.295 with three homers and three steals in 191 plate appearances over 55 games. At just 23 years old, he’ll continue to get plenty of chances to make good on his top prospect status, but it’s utterly confounding how he went from one of the most exciting young talents in the game to relative anonymity in just a few years.

Exit velocity has never been Walker’s issue, but it was all weak contact from him tonight; his three balls in play were two popups and one grounder, all hit softer than 70 mph. He’s 3-for-15 with no extra-base hits since coming off the injured list Sunday, and although the Iván Herrera injury has lessened the playing time crunch in St. Louis, the Cardinals have to be weighing burning his last option year and sending him down.

The 23-year-old slugger has been shelved since May 29 due to inflammation in his left wrist. He took a few at-bats on a minor league rehab assignment over the past two days and was deemed ready to return. He’ll start in right field and bat seventh against Jose Quintana and the Brewers on Saturday afternoon in Milwaukee.

Walker started in right field, but he got to play only three innings there before the game was delayed and then suspended due to rain. He’ll presumably play for Memphis again tonight, but it should be a rather short rehab assignment for Walker, who has been on the IL since May 31 with wrist inflammation.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol told reporters that Walker has made progress in his recovery from wrist irritation as he’s been able to resume hitting and lift weights without any issues. However, he’s going to require some rehab contest to get back up to speed before returning to St. Louis’ lineup. The 23-year-old corner outfielder has been out since late May.

One of the top prospects in baseball a few years ago, Walker continues to be a colossal disappointment for fantasy purposes. The 23-year-old corner outfielder hits the shelf after struggling to a calamitous .215/.273/.310 triple-slash line with three homers and three steals over 47 games. The truly alarming part is that he’s no longer hitting for any semblance of power after launching 16 homers over 117 games as a 21-year-old rookie back in 2023. Hopefully the extended break will enable him to work on things out of the bright spotlight of the majors.

Walker was going to sit tonight until Brandon Donovan was scratched. Instead, he got to continue his nice run of late. He’s batting .360 with one homer, two doubles and seven RBI in his last nine games.

Walker did need to make up for helping Josh Naylor to two-run triple that tied for the game in the top of the eighth. It was a tough play on a very well hit liner, leaving Walker caught in between going for the catch or trying to play it into a single. Walker was back in the lineup today after sitting Friday. He’s been on the bench for three of the Cardinals’ last six games, but after today, he’s 7-for-21 with a homer and eight RBI in his last nine appearances (six starts).

Walker remains stapled to the Cardinals’ bench for the second straight contest with a red-hot Alec Burleson getting into the lineup in right field. The 22-year-old former top prospect belted a solo homer during Saturday’s win over the Royals, but he’s been mired in an extended slump at the dish, hitting .147/.193/.225 with two homers, 13 RBI and one steal over his past 30 games.

As a team, the Cardinals tallied just four hits off of Paul Skenes and company in the ballgame, so Walker going without a knock wasn’t completely surprising. The 22-year-old outfielder is off to a brutal start to the 2025 season though — slashing a putrid .194/.263/.269 with just two homers, nine RBI and a pair of stolen bases. You’d had to think that he would need another trip to Triple-A Memphis to figure things out again, but the Cardinals can’t continue to settle for the subpar production that they have been receiving from the position.

Walker is starting to lose some playing time, which isn’t a big surprise considering he’s hitting just .206 with a .555 OPS in 2025. The talented 22-year-old will begin Friday’s game on the pine with Lars Nootbaar in right field and Brendan Donovan getting the nod in left.

It’s getting a bit silly at this point. Lawlar is one of the top prospects in all of baseball and is slashing .356/.451/.644 in 26 games with five home runs, 26 RBI, 29 runs scored, and 12 steals. He has started playing third base in Triple-A as well, which could create a full-time spot for him in Arizona with Eugenio Suarez moving to DH. Lawlar should be up relatively soon and deserves to be stashed in all league types.

Lawlar extended his hitting streak to seven consecutive games with his fourth consecutive multi-hit effort, falling just a home run shy of hitting for the cycle during Friday’s slugfest. The 22-year-old top prospect has begun playing regularly at second base to add some additional defensive versatility to his toolkit and appears close to getting another extended look at the highest level. He’s hitting .354/.466/.656 with 17 extra-base hits (five home runs) and 10 steals through 24 games for Triple-A Reno. His power-speed combination upside makes him one of the more intriguing prospects in the fantasy landscape and a worthy stash candidate in all leagues until further notice.

Walker did have one good swing today, and it would have gone for a homer if Brandon Nimmo hadn’t stolen it away. Still, Walker is sitting at .227/.284/.320 for the year, and he’s struck out 26 times in 81 plate appearances. That 32 percent strikeout rate is up from 28 percent in 51 games last year and 22 percent in 2023. If he doesn’t improve quickly, he might be in line for an early demotion to Triple-A for a third straight year. The potential homer really might have helped.

The Diamondbacks’ top prospect is hitting .292/.395/.523 in 16 games this season with three home runs, 12 RBI, and four steals. He continues to start at second base, which gives him a chance to be called up with Ketel Marte (hamstring) sidelined. However, despite the talk that Lawlar could play third base for Arizona, he has played only two games there this season, while starting nine at second base and five at shortstop. It remains unclear if the Diamondbacks will call him up if Ketel Marte is tracking to return to the lineup soon.

The 22-year-old now has two home runs on the season to go along with a .295/.403/.492 slash line and four steals in 15 Triple-A games. The Diamondbacks have started to use him at second base in recent games, which suggests a call-up could be imminent with Ketel Marte (hamstring) on the IL. Marte may only be out for a couple of weeks, so Lawlar would need to hit enough in his first few MLB games to convince the Diamondbacks to keep him on the roster, but he has enough fantasy upside to be worth modest bids if he does get the call.

Walker’s homer was a 112-mph liner, which shows what he can do when he gets the ball off the ground. He has a respectable enough .275/.351/.392 line for the season. Unfortunately, he has now gone eight straight games without attempting a steal after two successes and two failures in his first six games.
