Phillies Move Taijuan Walker to Bullpen

The Philadelphia Phillies have shifted veteran right-hander Taijuan Walker from the starting rotation to the bullpen, citing a need to retool their pitching staff. Manager Rob Thomson believes Walker can be a valuable asset in the bullpen, particularly as a one-inning reliever. This move comes after a 5-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, during which the Phillies’ bullpen carried a 4.65 ERA, sixth-worst in the majors.
