Taijuan Walker is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday. The Phillies aim for him to reach 100 pitches before rejoining the rotation, which likely means he will need four rehab starts, although some reports suggest it could be around five. Spencer Turnbull will take Walker's rotation spot in the meantime. The assignment starts a 30-day clock for Walker, during which he will gradually increase his pitch count in 15-pitch increments.
