Walker went 1-for-4 with a triple in Friday's loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran infielder took advantage of hitting in Coors Field to smack his first three-bagger of the year. Walker played first base and hit cleanup Friday in his return from the injured list, and with Garrett Cooper having not homered in a month, that's likely his best path to semi-consistent playing time.

Walker (finger) was activated off the 10-day injured list and will start Friday and bat fourth against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Walker was placed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained right finger Aug. 5, but is now ready to return to the starting nine. Prior to the injury, Walker had amassed a slash line of .262/.343/.384 with five home runs. Devin Marrero was designated for assignment to make room for Walker.

Walker (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker left Saturday's game against Tampa Bay with a jammed right index finger. The injury is now being referred to as a sprain, and he'll get at least 10 days to rest and heal. He could be forced to compete with Starlin Castro for at-bats at third base once healthy, as Isan Diaz was recalled in a corresponding move and will presumably become the primary second baseman.

Walker (finger) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker was removed from Saturday's contest after jamming his right index finger, and he'll take at least one day out of the starting nine to recover. Jon Berti receives the start at the hot corner in his place.

Walker was removed from Saturday's game at Tampa Bay with a jammed right index finger, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis

Walker went 1-for-2 with two walks, a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Monday's win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran infielder lived up to his name in this one, but productive games have been rare for Walker lately. He's slashing just .207/.299/.259 through 20 games in July with four RBI and seven runs, and he has only three extra-base hits -- all doubles -- on the month.

Walker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the second consecutive game on the bench for Walker with the Diamondbacks sending another southpaw to the mound in Robbie Ray. The 33-year-old is slashing .231/.318/.282 in only 44 plate appearances against lefties this season. Martin Prado will start at the hot corner in the series finale.

Walker isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Walker collected three base hits during Thursday's matchup, including a double, but he'll head to the bench for the series opener. Brian Anderson draws the start at third base and will bat cleanup in Walker's stead.
