Why was Jeffers given a caught stealing yesterday on the Jordan Walker play?

The caught stealing should be given to Lopez, along with an error on Lopez for Walker advancing.
Jeffers shouldn't be listed at all. Maybe where you're seeing it is just listing the battery by default.

That’s what I would think, but I was seeing it on baseball reference. It has Jeffers stats as 0 SB 1 CS

Hmm, I don't know. I tend to trust BR.

Found this:

Pickoffs

If he is picked off a base, but makes it to the next base, whether directly, or by successfully surviving a run down play, he also gets credit for a stolen base

Note: as unfair as this is, the steal is charged to the catcher. i.e., his percentage of runners thrown out goes down, even though he was not involved on that play

If he is picked off a base, and is thrown out trying to advance then he is charged with caught stealing

Note: Similarly to the above example, the catcher here gets credit for the CS.

If he makes it safely, there should be no caught anything. Assign an error if necessary.

Like catching fish; you might hook several, but until you get them in the boat, you ain’t caught nothing.

Sure was great analogy. Kinda like my attempts to catch my wife..
I tried a catching a few gals but nada. My wife later told me I failed on them as I didn’ realize I was dating ‘hookers’ !
Changed bait and found my sweetheart !
