Christian Walker starting for Diamondbacks against Marlins
Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker will start in Monday's series opener against the Miami Marlins.
Walker will return to first base and bat fifth after being held out of Sunday's lineup. He has hit safely in each start since being activated from the injured list a week ago. Pavin Smith will bat leadoff again and shift to right field in place of a resting Josh Rojas.
