Jordan Walker Back With Cardinals
3 months agoThe St. Louis Cardinals recalled outfielder Jordan Walker from Triple-A Memphis on Friday and designated veteran outfielder Tommy Pham for assignment in a corresponding move. The Cardinals brought Walker up from the minors earlier in August as well, but he went just 1-for-11 in six games before being sent back to the farm. The 22-year-old right-handed slugger should be with St. Louis the rest of the year with rosters expanding in September, but he's likely to be on the short side of a platoon against left-handed pitchers. The former 21st overall pick in 2020 was once one of the team's top prospects and hit .276 with 16 home runs in 117 games in his rookie season in 2023, but he's slashed .145/.228/.232 in 24 big-league games in 2024 with 21 strikeouts and no homers. Walker will be looking to turn things around in the season's final month to gain some positive momentum for 2025.
