Walker could return to the Mariners in two weeks after a specialist confirmed the initial diagnosis of tendinitis in his foot, Shannon Drayer of MyNortwest.com reports.
This is good news for Walker, who was placed on the disabled list on July 6. Although he may not return when first eligible, he should be back in the Mariners rotation before the end of July. Walker currently owns a 3.66 ERA in 86 innings with Seattle in 2016.
