Arizona Diamondbacks: Walker adds depth to a strong rotation

If the offense for the Arizona Diamondbacks continues to up frightening numbers, the starting rotation has the potential to be an equal nightmare against opponents.

Save the break-out season of Robbie Ray and the steadiness of Zack Grienke, right-handers Taijuan Walker and Zack Godley could make this staff rather formidable.

That could likely be the case in regard to Walker. Showing flashes of why the Diamondbacks acquired the California native in the off-season and before landing in the disabled list in mid-May with a blister on his pitching hand, Walker’s return to the mound Wednesday night showed there could be few weak links in the rotation.
