A day after placing Tommy Pham on waivers, the St. Louis Cardinals designated the veteran slugger for assignment to make room for former top prospect Jordan Walker.
Thursday, and while he was allowed to remain on the active roster in the meantime, Walker's arrival officially marked the end of his reunion with the Cardinals.
While Walker started 2024 on the Cardinals' Opening Day roster, it didn't take long for him to get sent down to the minors. Walker was batting just .155 with a .497 OPS when he got demoted on April 24, and he wouldn't return to the big leagues until four months later. In 84 games with Triple-A Memphis this year, Walker is hitting .263 with nine home runs, 37 RBI and a .753 OPS. He had taken his game to the next level since his most recent demotion, though, batting .348 with an .835 OPS over his last six appearances.
