Phillies Shift Struggling Taijuan Walker to Bullpen

Walker aims to revive his season and secure a postseason spot after a challenging year in the starting rotation.

Walker has a 6.50 ERA over 14 starts and has not won a game since May 22.
Phillies manager Rob Thomson hopes the move will help Walker regain his velocity and command.
Walker has limited experience as a reliever, with only four bullpen appearances in his major league career.
Rookie Tyler Phillips is likely to replace Walker in the starting rotation.
Walker plans to continue a weighted ball program to improve his performance next season.
