Taijuan Walker of the Philadelphia Phillies Faces Day-to-Day Status Due to Right Shoulder Tightness, Expected to Start Next Game

Taijuan Walker has had a solid start to the 2025 season with a 2.29 ERA over 19 2/3 innings pitched. He has struck out 16 batters and walked eight, maintaining a WHIP of 1.17. Walker's next scheduled game is against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on April 25, 2025.
