Walker went 0-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 5-1 loss to Milwaukee.

Walker has lived up to his name the last two games, drawing five free passes and scoring four runs. He has a respectable 9.8 walk rate for the season. The return of utility infielder Wilmer Flores from the injured list presents a playing-time dilemma for manager Torey Lovullo, but Walker should retain his role as the primary first baseman, even against right-handers, per Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Repubic. The manager envisions Jake Lamb slotting in at third base against righties while Eduardo Escobar slides to second base, with Flores taking a seat.
