Mariners' Taijuan Walker: Slated to start Thursday

Walker (foot) is expected to get the start Thursday against Baltimore, The News Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Walker was diagnosed with tendinitis in his right foot just one week ago, but seems to be good to go after throwing a bullpen session Sunday. The 23-year-old faced the Orioles earlier this season, allowing four runs over five innings and suffering the loss. Barring any setbacks, he should get another shot against the AL East leaders.
