Jordan Walden: Contract voided due to health issues
Jordan Walden (shoulder) had his minor league contract with the Braves voided on Thursday because his rehab wasn't progressing as expected, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.There were some question marks about his health heading into spring, as he missed all of 2016 with shoulder issues and made just 12 appearances in 2015 due to a biceps injury. The 29-year-old will look to get back to full strength and try to catch on with a team in a setup role, as he has plenty of high-leverage experience under his belt.

Cardinals' Jordan Walden: Won't make MLB team out of camp
Jordan Walden (shoulder) will not make the St. Louis Cardinals' Opening Day roster after his shoulder didn't quite feel right during his final spring training appearance, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.Walden was one of the best parts of the Cardinals bullpen when healthy, but he struggled to stay on the field last season. After stringing together a number of strong appearances this spring, his shoulder came back to bite in his final tune-up. If this is just a minor blip, then Walden can still be the effective eighth inning guy the Cardinals hope to have, but if this turns out to be more serious, it could lead to another lost season.
