Riding pine Thursday Walton isn't starting Thursday's game against the Rangers.
Getting steady work Walton will start in left field and bat seventh Wednesday against the Athletics.
Impact Walton's versatility will allow him to pick up his third start in four games, with each of those assignments coming at different positions. He should have multiple pathways to the lineup while Evan White (hip), Dylan Moore (calf), Shed Long (shin) and Sam Haggerty (shoulder) are all on the shelf, but Walton doesn't offer a fantasy profile that's especially interesting. Over 59 career plate appearances, Walton has hit .185 with no home runs and no stolen bases.

Good use of DH opportunity Walton went 2-for-4 with a two-run triple in a win over the Indians on Saturday.
Impact Starting at designated hitter after being added to the big-league roster Friday, Walton made noise out of the bottom of the order with his first career three-bagger, which plated Jose Marmolejos and J.P. Crawford for the Mariners' final two runs of the day in the eighth inning. Walton's current stint on the major-league roster may only last through Evan White's (hip) stay on the injured list, but perhaps Saturday's production opens up a bit more opportunity for him in coming days.

Added to major-league roster Walton was recalled by the Mariners on Friday.
Impact A strained left hip flexor sent Evan White to the IL and opened the door for Walton's second stint with the big-league club this season. His first stint lasted all of one day and this one figures to be brief as well. Walton will provide depth in the middle infield until there is a more pressing need on the roster (likely in the bullpen).

Doesn't win roster spot Walton was optioned to the team's alternate site Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact Walton was in competition to win a role as a depth infielder for the Mariners, though he struggled to a .200/.259/.200 line across 27 spring training plate appearances. He's played sparingly in Seattle across the last two seasons, earning a combined 33 plate appearances. Walton is likely to be with the club at some point this season when the need for depth arises.
