"Fans may recall that the Toronto Blue Jays signed Walker in mid-December last winter, adding another name to the bullpen mix heading into the new season. He didn't crack the big league roster out of Spring Training and was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo. Walker would be recalled on April 21st, making three appearances. The New York product would allow eight hits, four earned runs, and two walks across five innings of work, striking out eight hitters."
"The Phillies would DFA Walker in mid-August, and the Orioles would claim him on waivers on August 21st. He missed a couple of weeks on the IL to round out the campaign, but similar to his time in Philadelphia, he finished the campaign in Triple-A. Across 40 outings with all three clubs in Triple-A, Walker produced a 4.64 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP across 42 2/3 innings, striking out 45 batters while allowing 22 earned runs."
