Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Taijuan Walker's chances of making the team are dwindling as he competes for the final roster spot. Reports indicate that Joe Ross has been named the sixth starter, putting Walker in a precarious position. Despite his 12-year career, including a disappointing 2024 season with a 7.10 ERA, Walker's best bet now seems to be as a multi-inning bridge reliever. If he cannot secure a position, the Phillies may have to either release him or seek a trade.
