Not in starting lineup Tuesday Walker is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

Impact Walker didn't play in Monday's series opener, but this is a different situation Tuesday with the Giants trying a bullpen game. The 20-year-old rookie outfielder seems certain to appear off the bench at some point, perhaps early on if a favorable matchup arises. Alec Burleson is in left, Dylan Carlson is in center and Lars Nootbaar will be in right to begin the night.

Sitting again Monday Walker is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

Impact Walker is taking a seat for a second straight game with right-hander Alex Cobb on the mound for the Giants. Alec Burleson will handle right field duties with Lars Nootbaar in center and Tyler O'Neill getting the start in left.

Not starting Saturday Walker will sit Saturday against the Mariners.

Impact Walker comes with a ton of prospect pedigree, and while his .271/.311/.400 slash line (98 wRC+) in his first 19 games isn't amazing, it's at least a fairly respectable start to his career. The Cardinals have a crowded outfield and expect to compete this season, however, so it's not too surprising to see him hit the bench for the second time in four games. Lars Nootbaar slides to right field, while Dylan Carlson starts in center.

Scores three times in big win Walker went 2-for-4 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and three runs scored in Wednesday's 14-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact After opening his major-league career with a 12-game hitting streak, Walker went just 1-for-16 over his next five contests. He broke out of that slump with a solid showing Wednesday, which also included his second steal of the season. The 20-year-old is slashing .269/.310/.388 with two home runs, nine RBI, eight runs scored and two doubles through 71 plate appearances, though his 2:17 BB:K is a slightly concerning mark.

Out of lineup Tuesday Walker is out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

Impact Tyler O'Neill is in left field, Dylan Carlson is in center and Lars Nootbaar is in right as the Cardinals' crowded outfield shuffle continues to cause headaches for fantasy managers. Alec Burleson will serve as the designated hitter.

Gets first day off Friday Walker is not in the Cardinals' lineup Friday against the Pirates.

Impact It's the first day off of the season for Walker, and it comes after his historic 12-game career-opening hitting streak came to an end in Thursday's series opener versus the Pirates. Alec Burleson is in right field and batting second Friday, with Tyler O'Neill covering left field and hitting seventh.

Impact He slugged his first MLB homer in the seventh inning, a solo shot off Michael Tonkin that got the Cardinals on the board, before adding an RBI two-bagger in the ninth. Walker has come out of the gate firing, batting .333 (8-for-24) through his first six big-league games with a homer, a steal and five RBI, and the 20-year-old is positioning himself to be one of the early favorites in what could be a crowded race for the NL Rookie of the Year Award.

Swipes first big-league bag Walker went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact After a 1-for-5 showing in his big-league debut Thursday, Walker made a bigger impact the second time around, bringing home Nolan Arenado in the eighth inning with a single before swiping second base. Walker stole 22 bases on 27 attempts at Double-A in 2022, and the 20-year-old could make a big impact in that category this season even if the rest of his offensive game experiences some growing pains.

Notches hit, RBI in MLB debut Walker went 1-for-5 with an RBI in Thursday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact The 20-year-old kicked the door down in camp and it didn't take long for him to make his presence felt in the majors. Walker shot a single up the middle in the second inning, later drove in a run on a force out and also showed off his arm in the field with a throw clocked at 100.2 mph, according to MLB Pipeline. Walker was batting eighth against righty Alek Manoah, but it's possible he moves up in the order against left-handed pitching.

Hitting eighth on Opening Day Walker is starting in right field and batting eighth for the Cardinals on Thursday versus the Blue Jays.

Impact The wunderkind won a spot on the Opening Day roster with a huge spring but gets a difficult Opening Day matchup against Alek Manoah. Walker has the potential to move up in the Cards' batting order if he hits, although it's a pretty deep lineup so he might remain stuck toward the bottom initially.
