Jordan Walker, the St. Louis Cardinals’ former top prospect, has been sent back to the minor leagues after a disappointing start to the season. The 21-year-old outfielder was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday after batting .155 with no homers and four RBIs in 20 games. Walker had been struggling mightily, going 3-for-27 with nine strikeouts over his last 11 games.
Amidst a challenging start to the 2024 Major League Baseball season, the St. Louis Cardinals have announced they are optioning first-round pick and highly touted prospect Jordan Walker to Triple-A. This move comes after Walker’s disappointing performance at the beginning of this season. With the Cardinals struggling and currently sitting in last place in the NL Central, the team is hoping this change will allow Walker to regain his form and contribute to their success.
