Player Outlook
Christian Walker's 2023 was mostly a continuance of his 2022 season with the added bonus of double-digit steals despite his 26th percentile sprint speed. He is a great reminder that steals are not just about pure speed. He continued to use his power to all fields for his production while not giving up any of his plate discipline in the process. The improved talent around him also allowed him to hit the 100 RBI plateau for the first time in his career. That said, Walker is at a career crossroads as he is now heading into a contract year as a 33-year old right handed first baseman. You may instantly think of the guy he replaced, Goldschmidt, but not realize that Walker's timeline is three years advanced as Goldy departed Arizona after his age 30 season. We only bring this up for keeper league types because the long term outcome may not be as bright as what Walker could do in what is likely his final year in the desert as we see no reason he cannot continue this current run of production.

The first baseman suffered the injury in the fourth inning, but his day may have been finished regardless of the injury. He should be able to make a relatively quick return since he avoided a fracture.

    Rotowire

    Rotowire

The first baseman took a back seat to Corbin Carroll, who became the first rookie in MLB history to hit 25 home runs and steal 50 bases in a season, but Walker's theft gave him a career-high 10 steals. The achievement is something to feel good about in a September that hasn't been kind to him, as Walker entered the day batting .169 with a .527 OPS for the month.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Contributes but still slumping

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Ends hitless skid

    Rotowire
    Walker went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Mets. Walker's second-inning single halted a hitless run that had reached 18 consecutive at-bats. He then stole second base but was stranded in what was a recurring theme for the Diamondbacks, who went 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position, including a pair of double plays with the bases loaded. The steal was Walker's ninth, establishing a new career high for the first baseman.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Back in lineup Monday

    Rotowire
    Walker (elbow) is starting at first base and batting cleanup Monday against the Rockies in his return to the lineup.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Homers off bench

    Rotowire
    Walker (elbow) went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Orioles. Walker entered the game as a pinch hitter for Jace Peterson in the sixth inning, and he went yard in the ninth in his second at-bat after staying in at first base. Given he was able to play three innings in the field, it's unlikely Walker's elbow contusion will keep him out of the starting lineup much longer, especially since X-rays came back negative Saturday night. The first baseman's blast was his 30th of the season and his second in three September games. He's added a .271/.348/.529 slash line with 90 RBI, 71 runs scored and eight stolen bases through 133 games.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: On bench Sunday

    Rotowire
    Walker (elbow) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles. Walker exited Saturday's contest with a right elbow contusion after being hit by a pitch and will be sidelined for at least one game. The 28-year-old already had X-rays come back negative, so he appears to have avoided a serious injury and should be considered day-to-day. Pavin Smith is starting at first base Sunday for Arizona.

  • Diamondbacks' Christian Walker: Goes yard Friday

    Rotowire
    Walker went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 4-2 win over the Orioles. Walker lifted a sixth-inning blast to provide Arizona's final runs of the game. He'd ended August in a 10-for-46 (.217) slump over 13 games, with just one extra-base hit (a triple) in that span. The first baseman is up to 29 homers, 89 RBI, 70 runs scored, eight stolen bases and a .271/.347/.524 slash line through 131 contests on the season.
