Walker will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Walker turned in a solid performance during his last time out as San Francisco's opener Monday, throwing two scoreless innings and striking out four batters. The 27-year-old righty has been extremely effective with a 2.28 ERA through 43.1 innings this season, but he'll likely remain in the game Wednesday only for the first two or three frames. Ross Stripling will most likely work in bulk relief behind Walker.
