2024 Fantasy Outlook
After toiling in the minors since 2018, Walker made his major league debut in late May. He earned the promotion with a .89 ERA and .85 WHIP with Triple-A Sacramento. Walker appeared 49 times with the Giants, serving as an opener on 13 occasions. He fanned batters at a 29.7 percent clip, but his 9.1 percent walk rate was a bit above average. However, the main reason for a high 1.39 WHIP was a bloated .351 BABIP. As unlucky as he was in that realm, an 81.8 percent left on base mark kept the traffic from reaching home. Walker's performance should merit a spot in the Giants opening day bullpen. With several young starting pitchers, he could reprise his opener role. Walker likely won't be a late-inning option, but his strikeout rate is such that he can be relevant in NL-only formats. Read Past Outlooks

Stuck with loss Saturday
Walker (4-3) allowed an unearned run on a hit and a walk with one strikeout over one inning to take the loss Saturday versus the Angels.
ANALYSIS
Walker's scoreless streak ended at 5.1 innings, though a two-out throwing error by Curt Casali contributed to the Giants giving up the decisive run in the seventh inning. Walker has allowed four runs (three earned) over 7.1 innings in June, and he's added four holds this month as he continues to see an increasingly large high-leverage role. He's at a 2.48 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 46:7 K:BB with 13 holds over 36.1 innings this season. While it hasn't happened yet in 2024, Walker would likely be next in line for save chances whenever Camilo Doval is unavailable, as Tyler Rogers has typically struggled when given ninth-inning assignments.
