The Diamondbacks received "relatively good news" on Walker's (oblique) MRI but are still expected to place him on the 10-day injured list, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
Walker tweaked his oblique in Monday's win over the Nationals. While it sounds like the strain isn't overly severe, it's bad enough that he'll be out, at minimum, for the next 10 days. Arizona acquired Josh Bell via trade with the Marlins earlier Tuesday and will install him as its first baseman while Walker recovers.
