What It Means:

Walker got a visit from the team trainer in the second inning but stayed in the game, and he was pinch-hit for a half-inning later. Ominously, forearm tightness has become a precursor for Tommy John surgery in recent years. He'll be sent for tests, after which a clearer timetable for his return should be available.

Walker has averaged 4.23 FanDuel points per inning pitched over the last three games. Our models project him for 11 more wins, a 4.30 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 20.7 percent strikeout rate, and 9.0 percent walk rate in 153 more innings pitched.
