Walker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Walker will take a seat for the second game in a row while Asdrubal Cabrera picks up another start at first base in his stead. Though he's held down a near-everyday role for the better part of the last three seasons, Walker could become phased out over the final six weeks while he endures a brutal 2021 campaign. His .636 OPS represents a 156-point decline from 2020, and with only five home runs in 301 plate appearances, Walker hasn't come close to living up to his reputation as a power-hitting first baseman.
