Jordan Walden

Walden last pitched in April of 2015, and he has been out with a strained lat ever since. There had been hopes that he would begin a rehab assignment at the end of the 2016 season, but those plans never came to fruition. He'll now aim to return in 2017, but his health is a mystery. At his best, Walden is a lock-down reliever capable of striking out nearly 30 percent of the batters he faces and chucking fastballs over 95 miles per hour, but he's over a year removed from such form. If he does in fact return in 2017, Walden would be a late-round gamble with a high ceiling, capable of scooping up holds and strikeouts. However, prospective buyers with risk-aversion tendencies will likely want to look elsewhere, as Walden's return has been riddled with setbacks. He'll look to resurrect his career in 2017, although it'll be tough to find work after his contract with Atlanta was voided due to health concerns.
