Walker: "I'm fine. I got it checked out. I'm just taking it a little slower than everyone else. I'm still playing catch and everything."

 

Will monitor Walker situation, but #Mariners don't seem overly concerned. Sounds like he might be a session or two behind in throwing work.

 

It's nothing serious. And yes he is expected in the rotation.
