Rejoins big-league club Walton was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

Impact Walton has spent the majority of his season at Triple-A and is hitting .297/.362/.440 across 105 plate appearances at the level. However, he's also served as a depth option in Seattle, racking up 69 plate appearances while hitting .206/.254/.365. His previous stints with the big-league club haven't lasted long, and he isn't likely to see regular playing time while in the majors.

Moves back to minors The Mariners optioned Walton to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Walton's stay with the big club lasted just one day. After being called up from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Walton appeared off the bench in the Mariners' 7-1 loss to the Angels but didn't receive an at-bat. His demotion opens up a spot on the active roster for starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi, who was reinstated from the COVID-19-related injured list.

Takes seat Wednesday Walton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Walton has moved between second base and left field of late, starting 10 of the Mariners' last 11 games at either position. The 27-year-old posted an .819 OPS over that stretch, but the Mariners may envision him serving as a utility man off the bench rather than a lineup regular. He'll take a seat Wednesday with Shed Long picking up a second straight start at second base and with Jake Fraley getting a turn in left field.

Impact The 27-year-old infielder is on a nice little run at the plate, hitting safely in five of his last six games to boost his average 59 points to .220. Walton figures to continue logging regular playing time as long as Evan White (hip) and Dylan Moore (calf) remain sidelined.

Swats first homer Walton went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Monday's 6-5 extra-inning win over Oakland.

Impact Walton went deep in the fourth inning off Oakland starter James Kaprielian to give Seattle a 3-1 lead. That blast was Walton's first major-league home run. The versatile 27-year-old has added a triple, a double and five RBI while slashing .200/.220/.350 through 41 plate appearances. He's likely to see the strong side of a second-base platoon with Jack Mayfield while Dylan Moore (calf) is out. Walton has also played in left field at times, but the return of Jake Fraley (hamstring) on Monday crowds Seattle's outfield a bit more.
