Dealt to Toronto The Blue Jays acquired Walker from the Mariners on Thursday in exchange for a minor-league player to be named later or cash considerations, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Impact With the rebuilding Mariners sitting on a 12-19 record for the season and with Walker signed to an affordable one-year, $2 million deal, the right-hander was widely expected to be moved prior to the Aug. 31 trade deadline. The Mariners ultimately found a suitor in the Blue Jays, who were in serious need of another proven arm in the rotation after Matt Shoemaker (lat), Trent Thornton (elbow) and Nate Pearson (elbow) were all placed on the injured list in the last week and a half. Walker has bounced back well thus far from his April 2018 Tommy John surgery, posting a 4.00 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB through 27 innings over his five starts. He had been scheduled to start the first game of the Mariners' doubleheader Thursday versus the Padres, so Seattle will have to find a replacement for Walker on short notice.

Gets ball in first game of twin bill Walker is slated to start the first game of the Mariners' doubleheader with the Padres on Thursday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
Impact Walker had been in line to start Wednesday before the contest was postponed. The Mariners will keep their six-man rotation in order and have Walker take the hill for the first game of the twin bill, while Yusei Kikuchi stays on turn to pitch in the second contest. Walker, who is a prime candidate to be dealt prior to the Aug. 31 trade deadline, has posted a 4.00 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB across 27 innings this season.

Drawing trade interest Walker, who's put together back-to-back quality starts, is drawing strong trade interest prior to the Aug. 31 deadline, Brandon Gustafson of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
Impact The right-hander's successful homecoming to the team that originally drafted him back in 2010 may be short-lived one, as Walker could ultimately be a victim of his own success to an extent. Contending teams -- a descriptor that constitutes a much larger pool of clubs this season due to the expanded playoff format -- are always on the hunt for more starting pitching, and Gustafson notes the fact Kendall Graveman (neck), who could have also been a potential trade candidate had he remained healthy, is now out of the equation only makes Walker even more appealing. Through five starts, Walker owns a 2-2 record, 4.00 ERA and 1.07 WHIP, and he now has his average fastball velocity back to under 1 mph lower than what it was prior to Tommy John surgery.

Whiffs eight in win Walker (2-2) earned the win Wednesday after holding the Dodgers to three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out eight across seven innings.
Impact All of Walker's damage came via the long ball during what turned out to be a solid outing. The 28-year-old gave up a pair of home runs to Max Muncy and Joc Pederson in the second inning, followed by a solo homer to Cody Bellinger in the third. From there, Walker silenced a volatile Los Angeles lineup, fanning a season-high tying eight batters. The right-hander will carry a 4.00 ERA and 1.07 WHIP into next Wednesday's showdown at San Diego.
