Taijuan Walker, a transfer from OU, has shown promise in spring training. In a recent rehab start with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, he pitched 4.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 1 K with a four-seam fastball averaging 91.1 mph. Walker is expected to rejoin the Phillies' rotation after another minor-league start on Sunday.
