Walker pitched five innings, allowing one earned run on two hits with three strikeouts, in what could be his final rehab start on Wednesday.
Manager Rob Thomson said that he expects Spencer Turnbull to throw off a mound this week as he continues to rehab at the Phillies’ facility in Clearwater, Fla.LOS ANGELES — Starter Taijuan Walker, who has been sidelined with right index finger inflammation since June 23, made what could be his final rehab start on Wednesday night. He pitched five innings, allowing one earned run on two hits with three strikeouts. Walker threw 60 pitches.
Whenever he does return, he’ll do so as a member of the bullpen. It’s not Turnbull’s preference — he’s pitched out of his rotation for his entire career — but Thomson said the right-hander understands the decision.
