    Taijuan Walker Becomes A Free Agent

    New York Mets starting pitcher Taijuan Walker opted out of the final season of his deal with the Mets on Monday and has become a free agent. Walker joins rotation mates Jacob deGrom and Chris Bassitt in opting out of their deals. Neither move comes as a surprise. The 30-year-old Walker was an All-Star with the Mets in his first year with the team in 2021. He was solid again in 2022, going 12-5 with a 3.49 ERA (3.65 FIP), a 1.19 WHIP and a 132:45 K:BB in 157 1/3 innings pitched over 29 starts. He will forego his $6 million player option for the 2023 with hopes of landing of more lucrative multi-year deal on the open market this offseason.

    Taijuan Walker Will Start Sunday Against Miami

    New York Mets right-hander Taijuan Walker (finger) will start Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. He dealt with a blister on his right index finger in his last start Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 30-year-old owns a 10-4 record, a 3.60 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and a 96:40 K:BB across 127 2/3 innings in 2022. The right-hander won't miss a turn in the rotation and will start Sunday's game. Fantasy managers can use Walker as a streamer in all league formats, but he has allowed 11 earned runs over his last five appearances.

    Taijuan Walker To Start Tuesday Against Yankees

    New York Mets manager Buck Showalter said that starting pitcher Taijuan Walker (back) will start on Tuesday against the New York Yankees. Walker wasn't able to make his scheduled start on Sunday against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies after he was forced from his previous start early last Tuesday with back spasms, but he'll instead return this week in a tough matchup against the Bronx Bombers. With Walker returning, the Yankees will avoid facing right-hander Jacob deGrom in this series. Walker has gone 10-3 with a 3.36 ERA (3.67 FIP), 1.20 WHIP, 85 strikeouts and 33 walks in 112 1/3 innings over his 21 starts for the Mets, but he'll be extra risky this week against the Yanks. In three starts this month, the 30-year-old has allowed 10 earned runs on 13 hits in just nine innings.

    Taijuan Walker Won't Pitch Sunday

    New York Mets starting pitcher Taijuan Walker (back) will not make his next scheduled start on Sunday against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies, but he's "doing well," according to skipper Buck Showalter. Walker will avoid a trip to the injured list for now. The Mets were optimistic earlier this week that the 30-year-old right-hander would be able to make his start on Sunday after leaving his last start on Tuesday early with back spasms. An MRI exam on Wednesday showed no structural damage in his back, so fantasy managers are hoping he'll end up missing just the one start. Walker allowed eight runs in just one innings on Aug. 5 against the Atlanta Braves, but he's given up two earned runs in eight innings since in two other starts in the month. He should remain rostered in all fantasy leagues, although he'll be a bit more shaky his next time out due to the injury.

    Taijuan Walker Could Make His Next Start Sunday

    There is increased optimism that New York Mets right-hander Taijuan Walker (back), whose MRI results showed a slight disc bulge in his lower back, can make his next scheduled start on Sunday against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies. Walker called it "the worst pain I ever felt" and said he's "shocked" he's feeling this good two days later. The 30-year-old left his last start on Tuesday after just two innings, but his MRI exam didn't show any structural damage. It's great news for the Mets that the injury wasn't more serious, but he'll be a pretty risky fantasy play if he makes his next start on Sunday. In 21 starts in 2022, Walker has gone 10-3 with a strong 3.36 ERA (3.66 FIP), 1.20 WHIP, 85 strikeouts and 33 walks in 112 1/3 innings pitched.
