The Angels released Walker on Saturday.
Walker failed to receive a promotion to the majors over the course of two minor-league deals with the Angels, the first of which he signed in late May. The veteran right-hander will likely have to settle for another minor-league deal with a new organization after posting a 3.86 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB in 21 innings over five starts between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and Triple-A Salt Lake during his time with the Angels.

Walker and the Angels agreed to a minor-league contract Thursday.
Walker will return to the Angels' organization after being released by the team Sunday, and he will report to Triple-A Salt Lake. The right-hander made one appearance with Salt Lake on June 4, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings.

The Angels released Walker on Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
After being cut by the Phillies in April, Walker inked a minor-league deal with the Halos on May 25. Walker proceeded to turn in a 2.45 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB across 11 innings between two appearances in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and one at Triple-A Salt Lake, but since a promotion to the big leagues wasn't imminent, the veteran right-hander elected to exercise an opt-out clause in his contract. He'll now assess his options as a free agent but will most likely have to settle for another minor-league deal.

Walker signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Walker was cut by the Phillies in late April after accumulating a 9.13 ERA and 2.07 WHIP through 22.2 innings. He'll now attempt to rebound with the Halos and report to the team's complex in Arizona, presumably to work on his mechanics. If the 33-year-old performs well in the minors, he could join Los Angeles' rotation at some point.

The Phillies released Walker on Thursday.
Walker was roughed up for five runs (four earned) over four innings in Wednesday's loss to the Cubs, which actually lowered his season ERA to 9.13. With Zack Wheeler (shoulder) due back Saturday, Walker was about to lose his rotation spot, and now he's lost his roster spot altogether. Walker will finish his tenure in Philadelphia with a 5.12 ERA over 89 regular-season appearances (71 starts). The Phillies remain responsible for the roughly $15 million Walker is owed through the remainder of this season.

Walker (1-4) was tagged with the loss Wednesday against the Cubs, allowing five runs (four earned) on eight hits and a walk across four innings. He struck out one.
Walker pitched in bulk relief after Wednesday's opener, Kyle Backhus, allowed a run on two hits in his lone inning of work. Walker has failed to pitch more than four innings in his last two starts, taking losses to Atlanta and the Cubs while allowing a combined 12 runs (11 earned) on 15 hits and a 5:4 K:BB through eight frames. Walker's next turn in the rotation should come against the Giants at home next week, but it's hard to trust him right now. He's allowed at least four earned runs in four of his five appearances this season while sporting an inflated 9.13 ERA with a 2.07 WHIP through 22.2 innings.
