Taijuan Walker (foot) to make rehab start on Monday for Mariners

Taijuan Walker (foot) will make a rehab start with Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

What It Means:

Walker made it through a three-inning simulated game with no issues on Wednesday, and there's a chance that he will only need one rehab start before returning to the Mariners.

Walker is sporting a 3.78 SIERA and 22.35 percent strikeout rate on the year, though his 1.63 nERD ranks only 122nd in the majors. Our models expect him to struggle a bit, and we project him for a 4.17 ERA and 18.30 percent strikeout rate over the remainder of the season.
