Former All-Star pitcher Jerry Walker dies at 85
The Orioles announced on Wednesday that former All-Star pitcher Jerry Walker died over the weekend. He was 85. Walker, a 6-foot-1 right-hander, signed with Baltimore out of East Central University in Oklahoma. Even though he was just 18 years old at the time, the O’s sent Walker straight to the big leagues.

The Ravens will have to manage his return carefully, so they “will probably use Ojabo situationally,” according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic.
