Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Monday that he expects Walker (wrist) to begin a rehab assignment Thursday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's not clear yet which affiliate Walker will be assigned to, but the outfielder apparently responded well to a workout and on-field batting practice Monday. The Cardinals have an off day next Monday before beginning a series in Chicago against the White Sox on June 17, and Walker could be ready to return on that date.

Walker (wrist) could begin a rehab assignment as soon as Tuesday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker's left wrist responded well to an anti-inflammatory shot, and he felt good hitting in the batting cage Sunday. The outfielder will work out and take batting practice Monday and, if he gets through that without any hiccups, will be cleared for rehab games. It's not clear how many rehab contests Walker will be asked to play, but he should be ready for activation within the next week or so.

Walker (wrist) took swings off a tee Saturday, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker had been shut down for a few days after being given an anti-inflammatory injection in his left wrist earlier this week. Per Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol, Walker's rehab will go "pretty quickly" as long as the wrist responds. Walker is eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Sunday but still lacks a clear timeline for his return.

Cardinals manager Carlos Marmol said that Walker will not swing a bat for a few days after being given an anti-inflammatory injection Wednesday in his injured left wrist, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker tried to take swings off a tee Monday but had to stop due to continued soreness in the wrist. He underwent additional imaging after that setback, and no structural damage was found. The hope is that the shot will knock out the inflammation in Walker's wrist and that he will be able to ramp up workouts again soon. The outfielder will not be ready for activation from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Sunday.

Walker felt soreness in his injured left wrist while hitting off a tee Monday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker went through additional imaging of the wrist joint afterward and it did not show any structural damage. While the setback seems to be minor, it's not clear when Walker will be ready to swing a bat again, and a minimum stay on the 10-day injured list now appears unlikely. Walker is eligible for activation June 8.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Saturday that he expects Walker (wrist) back from the 10-day injured list "pretty soon," Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker began feeling discomfort with his left wrist during the Cardinals' last homestand and the pain went "in and out" since then, per Marmol, before the outfielder landed on the IL on Saturday. He will be eligible for activation June 8, and it sounds as if Walker has a chance to return on that date or shortly after. With Walker shelved, Alec Burleson is making a third straight start in right field Sunday.

The Cardinals placed Walker on the 10-day injured list Saturday with left wrist inflammation, retroactive to Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Walker's wrist injury helps to explain why he was left out of the lineup Friday against Arizona. The severity of his injury is still unclear, so there's no telling if he might be able to return when eligible June 8. In the meantime, Ryan Vilade will come up from Triple-A Memphis to replenish St. Louis' outfield depth.

Walker is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Walker has now been out of the lineup each of the last four times the Cardinals have faced a right-hander. Alec Burleson is handling right field, Ivan Herrera is at designated hitter and Pedro Pages is doing the catching.

Walker is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
The Cardinals using Ivan Herrera mostly at designated hitter since his return from the injured list last week has affected Walker, as Alec Burleson has started in the outfield over Walker all three times the team has faced a righty during that span. Walker homered for the Cardinals' lone run in Saturday's win versus the Royals in his last start, but he's sporting just a .528 OPS on the season.

Walker is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Walker will bow out of the lineup after starting in right field in each of St. Louis' previous three games and going 2-for-7 with a homer and two RBI during that span. With Walker on the bench Sunday, Lars Nootbaar is sliding over to right field while Alec Burleson is getting a start in left.
