ANALYSIS
Walston was called up to make his first MLB start May 27 and made an additional start Tuesday. He was not part of the decision in either start, but he gave up just two eared runs in 9.0 innings. However, he will be unable to make a third start soon with the apparent injury that came of Tuesday's game. The Diamondbacks selected Humberto Castellanos from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
The youngest player at Arizona's alternate training site, Walston proved up to the challenge, showing an improved changeup and improved command against older hitters. A 6-foot-5, 195-pound southpaw, there's still some projection possible with Walston, even though his velocity already ticked up from the low-90s to the mid-90s after signing for $2.45 million in 2019. His plus slider is arguably his best pitch, and it is important that his changeup and curveball continue to improve in the coming years. He won't turn 20 until late June, so it's too early to say anything definitive with regards to his floor or ceiling. That said, athletic, tall lefties with mid-90s fastball velocity and good command of a four-pitch mix are very rare. He should spend the year at Low-A and High-A, where going deep into starts and building up his workload will be a priority.
