Jordan Walker to Go on Rehab Assignment
Jordan Walker (appendix) has joined the team in Pittsburgh to meet with the team's trainers and medical staff before heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment, which means he won't come off the 10-day injured list when he's eligible on Friday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Derrick Goold. Walker landed on the IL due to appendicitis, but he didn't require surgery and could rejoin the big-league squad early next week, barring a setback on his rehab assignment. When the 23-year-old former top prospect does return, there's a good chance he'll only be in a platoon situation in St. Louis' outfield. The former 21st overall pick in 2020 has hit just .210 (37-for-176) with three home runs, 23 RBI, 21 runs and 63 strikeouts in 191 trips to the plate in his 55 games in 2025.
