Even if the 29-year-old righty is not initially named to the NL All-Star squad when reserves are announced later Sunday, manager Buck Showalter believes Walker — who is slated to make one more start, Friday in Chicago, before the break — should be considered to be added to replace anyone unable to pitch in the Midsummer Classic on July 19 in Los Angeles.

It’s like everybody knows what he’s gonna do and he does it anyway.
