- Walker was released by the Phillies on April 23 after a poor start to the season, surrendering 23 earned runs over 22 2/3 innings in five games.
- During his four seasons with the Phillies, Walker recorded a 24-25 record with a 5.12 ERA and was initially signed to a four-year, $72 million deal after the 2022 season.
- The Phillies are absorbing nearly all of the remaining salary on Walker’s contract following his release.
- The Angels have also signed other former Phillies pitchers who struggled in Philadelphia, including Jordan Romano, who was later designated for assignment and signed a minor league deal with the Rockies.
