Cardinals' Jordan Walker: Career day with five hits, homer
Jordan Walker went 5-for-5 with a home run, a stolen base, four runs scored and three RBI in Sunday's 14-7 win over the Yankees.Walker did it all Sunday, turning in a perfect day at the plate and stealing his first base of the season for good measure. He opened the scoring with an RBI single in the second before slugging a two-run home run in the fifth to extend the St. Louis Cardinals' lead to five. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Friday that Walker will have an everyday spot in the lineup, and that seems justified after Sunday's performance. A former first-round pick, the 22-year-old Walker has undeniable upside but he has struggled overall in his big-league opportunities in 2024, slashing .143/.218/.221 with zero home runs in 87 plate appearances before Sunday's explosion.

Cardinals' Jordan Walker: Primed for everyday role
St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Friday that Jordan Walker will have an everyday spot in the lineup after being called up from Triple-A Memphis, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.The 22-year-old didn't see consistent playing time while up with the Cardinals in mid-August before being sent back to Triple-A, but he'll receive significant run down the stretch after Tommy Pham was designated for assignment. Walker has played just 24 games this season after he posted a .276/.342/.445 slash line with 16 homers and seven steals in 117 contests as a rookie in 2023, and a strong finish to the campaign would set him up nicely heading into 2025.

Cardinals' Jordan Walker: Back up with Cards
The St. Louis Cardinals recalled Jordan Walker from Triple-A Memphis on Friday.Walker went 1-for-11 during a six-game span with the Cardinals earlier in August, but 10 days after being optioned to Memphis, he returns to the 26-man roster. The 22-year-old outfielder replaces Tommy Pham, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Walker is 10-for-69 (.145) with a triple, four doubles, four runs and four RBI this season with St. Louis and while he'll like be deployed primarily against left-handed pitching in the short term, he could get a chance to start if St. Louis fades out of the playoff picture.
