D-Backs’ Christian Walker sidelined by groin strain

Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker suffered a right groin strain and is considered day-to-day, Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said.

Walker, who did not participate in either Monday’s workout or intrasquad game, might have suffered the injury making a play on a ball during Sunday’s game, Lovullo said, adding that Walker underwent an MRI on Monday.

Asked if Walker is going to be delayed for the July 24 opener, Lovullo said it was “hard to say” before sounding a more optimistic tone.

“We think he’s going to be hopefully ready for Opening Day – or I do,” Lovullo said.
