CHRISTIAN WALKER NEWS

Lands on injured list The Diamondbacks placed Walker (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Walker suffered the injury on his oblique after tweaking it in Monday's win versus the Nationals. The team and first baseman received good news from the MRI, but he will still see time away from the field. In a corresponding move, Pavin Smith was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Hits IL, out about three weeks The Diamondbacks placed Walker on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained left oblique.

Impact Walker will head to the IL for the first time since the 2021 season after he tweaked the oblique muscle during Monday's 9-8 win over the Nationals. The first baseman was diagnosed with a low-grade strain following an MRI and hopes to rejoin the Diamondbacks in about three weeks, per Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic. In a corresponding move, Pavin Smith was recalled from Triple-A Reno, but it'll likely be trade-acquisition Josh Bell that works as Arizona's primary first baseman for the duration of Walker's absence.

Impact Walker tweaked his oblique in Monday's win over the Nationals. While it sounds like the strain isn't overly severe, it's bad enough that he'll be out, at minimum, for the next 10 days. Arizona acquired Josh Bell via trade with the Marlins earlier Tuesday and will install him as its first baseman while Walker recovers.

Impact Lovullo is holding out hope that Walker won't have to miss much time, but the Diamondbacks won't have a clearer idea regarding the length of a potential absence for the first baseman until the results of his MRI are read. Walker can be viewed as day-to-day for now, but fantasy managers should at the very least expect him to be out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest. Kevin Newman came off the bench to replace Walker ahead of the fourth inning of Monday's game, but Arizona could recall Pavin Smith from Triple-A Reno and have him serve as the primary first baseman should Walker require a stint on the injured list.

Impact An explanation behind Walker's early departure wasn't immediately known when Kevin Newman came off the bench to replace him in the top of the fourth inning, but the Diamondbacks provided clarity on the matter shortly thereafter. The fact that the injury is to the right-handed hitting Walker's left side isn't a great sign, but the Diamondbacks will wait and see what further tests reveal before providing a prognosis for the 33-year-old first baseman.
