The Phillies won against the Seattle Mariners, 6-5, but may lose Taijuan Walker due to forearm tightness.
didn’t send Taijuan Walker back to the mound for the fifth inning Wednesday night, even though he threw only 68 pitches through the first four.In the short term, the Phillies dulled another potential blow to their depleted starting rotation by pulling off a come-from-behind 6-5 victory over the Mariners.
Further details weren’t available during the game, although Walker likely will undergo further testing. If he must take a turn on the injured list, triple-A lefty Cristopher Sánchez could be an option to start in his place. Walker’s next turn in the rotation is scheduled for Monday night at Dodger Stadium.
But Walker did remain in the game and have relatively efficient third and fourth innings. His second-to-last pitch was a 94 mph sinker to Julio Rodríguez, who struck out on a dirt-diving splitter.
