Apr 30 2024Walsh signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Tuesday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh elected free agency after being removed from the Rangers' 40-man roster earlier this month. The 30-year-old hit just .226/.317/.321 with one home run through 60 plate appearances with Texas. He'll go to extended spring training for now before eventually reporting to Triple-A Charlotte, where he'll give the White Sox some veteran protection at first base.
Apr 24 2024Walsh cleared waivers Wednesday and elected to become a free agent. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Saturday to make room for Nathaniel Lowe's return from the IL, and the 30-year-old first baseman will now take his chances in the open market. He is slashing .226/.317/.321 with a home and seven RBI through 60 plate appearances on the year and should be able to at least secure a minor-league deal with another organization.
Apr 20 2024The Rangers designated Walsh for assignment Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh will lose his spot on the roster with Nathaniel Lowe (oblique) returning from the injured list Saturday. The 30-year-old slashed .226/.317/.321 across 60 plate appearances during his time with Texas and could attract interest on the waiver wire from any team in need of help at first base.
Apr 19 2024Walsh is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh will sit for a third consecutive contest, as Atlanta will start left-hander Chris Sale on Friday. The righty-hitting Ezequiel Duran will start at first base and bat sixth in the lineup.
Apr 18 2024Walsh is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Walsh will close out the series in Detroit with two consecutive absences from the lineup, though Thursday's is more noteworthy since the Tigers are bringing a right-hander (Kenta Maeda) to the hill. Walsh has been operating in a strong-side platoon role at first base all season, but he's mustered an underwhelming .638 OPS through 60 plate appearances and looks at risk of losing work to Ezequiel Duran.
Apr 17 2024Walsh is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Detroit. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Left-hander Tarik Skubal is the Tigers' starting pitcher Wednesday, so the lefty-hitting Walsh will begin Wednesday's game on the bench. Ezequiel Duran will play first base.
Apr 14 2024Walsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Houston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh is 2-for-18 with four walks, four RBI and eight strikeouts over his past seven games, and he'll take a seat against Astros righty Cristian Javier. Ezequiel Duran will start at first base and bat eighth Sunday.
Apr 11 2024Walsh is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Oakland bringing a lefty (JP Sears) to the hill Thursday, the lefty-hitting Walsh will take a seat for the second time in the series. Ezequiel Duran will step in for Walsh at first base and will bat sixth.
Apr 9 2024Walsh is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Oakland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh posted an .842 OPS while starting the past nine games but will head to the bench Tuesday against Athletics' lefty Alex Wood. Ezequiel Duran will shift to first base while Davis Wendzel starts at the hot corner.
Apr 3 2024Walsh went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-batting Walsh made a fourth consecutive start at first base, including one against a lefty, and has hit safely in all four, going 7-for-18 with two extra-base hits, three RBI and five runs. The season started as a likely platoon of Walsh (against righties) and Ezequiel Duran (lefties) while primary first baseman Nathaniel Lowe (oblique) recovers. However, third baseman Josh Jung's wrist injury, which is expected to keep him sidelined for at least six weeks, may require Duran to help fill that void.
Mar 31 2024Walsh started at first base and went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two additional runs scored in Saturday's 11-2 win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh's two-run blast in the second inning wiped out Chicago's 2-0 lead, as the Rangers thumped their way to an easy win. The left-handed hitting Walsh got the start against a right-hander after Ezequiel Duran played first base in Thursday's opener against a lefty. Those two are handling the position until Nathaniel Lowe (oblique) is ready to play.
Mar 28 2024Walsh is out of the lineup Thursday against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Cubs will send southpaw Justin Steele to the mound to start their season, so the lefty-hitting Walsh will begin Opening Day in the dugout. Ezequiel Duran will instead start at first base and bat seventh.
Mar 26 2024Walsh is expected to be named to the 26-man roster Tuesday, Dave Sessions of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh and Justin Foscue battled it out during spring training -- each recorded more than 50 plate appearances during Cactus League games -- but the Rangers are apparently leaning toward Walsh, a non-roster invitee that needs to be added to the 40-man roster. That much was confirmed Monday, when the transactions page of MiLB.com posted the Rangers had optioned Foscue to Triple-A Round Rock. Ultimately, it was Walsh's wealth of experience at first base that was the deciding factor. With Nathaniel Lowe (oblique) set to open the season on the injured list, the Rangers wanted a more experienced first baseman, and Foscue only started playing there this spring. The right-handed hitting Ezequiel Duran will serve as the backup and possible platoon mate for the lefty-swinging Walsh. Texas faces left-hander Justin Steele on Opening Day, which may dictate that Duran draws the start in that matchup.
Mar 19 2024The Rangers prefer to use a platoon of Walsh and Ezequiel Duran at first base while Nathaniel Lowe (oblique) is sidelined, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Duran part of the platoon will be in effect only if he's not needed to fill in at shortstop for Corey Seager (groin), but for now there's optimism Seager will be ready. Walsh appears set to start at first base versus righties initially either way, as he's had an impressive camp as a non-roster invitee in slashing .286/.419/.571 with three home runs. It could just be a short-term gig for Walsh, although if he gets off to a nice start he might be an option at designated hitter after Lowe returns.
Mar 8 2024Walsh started at first base and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's spring game against Kansas City. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: On the day the Rangers announced Nathaniel Lowe (oblique) could miss Opening Day, Walsh filled in at first base. He's hit in all eight Cactus League games, going 8-for-20 with three walks, a double, two home runs, four RBI and four runs. If Walsh is playing his way onto the roster, the Rangers will need to create a spot on the 40-man roster. The lefty batter could also fill the strongside of a platoon at designated hitter.
Jan 25 2024Walsh signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh had a breakout 2021 campaign when he slugged 29 home runs and made the All-Star team. Since then, though, he's managed a lowly .613 OPS and 32.1 percent strikeout rate across 572 plate appearances at the major-league level. The 30-year-old will compete for a reserve role with the Rangers but almost surely will report to Triple-A Round Rock to start 2024 as he looks to get his career back on track.
Oct 16 2023Walsh cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's the second time since early August that Walsh has been outrighted off the Angels' 40-man roster. He will become a free agent after the World Series unless he accepts the outright assignment, which seems unlikely. The 30-year-old posted a lowly .494 OPS over 39 games in 2023 and simply hasn't been the same player since his breakout 2021 season.
Sep 28 2023The Angels optioned Walsh to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Mickey Moniak's (back) return from the 10-day IL will force Walsh back to the minors after he was selected from Triple-A on Sept. 14. Walsh has slashed just .135/.158/.378 through 38 plate appearances across 11 games in that span, and he will likely need to bounce back in a big way next spring in order to carve out a role for himself in the majors.
Sep 24 2023Walsh is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against Twins, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh started the Angels' previous seven games but will head to the bench Sunday after he posted a .549 OPS during that stretch. Jo Adell will take over in right field Sunday, batting sixth.
Sep 23 2023Walsh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against the Twins in a loss Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh took Minnesota starter Pablo Lopez deep to right field for a two-run shot in the fifth inning. It was Walsh's fourth long ball of the campaign, three of which have come since returning Sept. 15 from a nearly three-month stay in the minors. Aside from the power output, the veteran has struggled since rejoining the Angels, slashing .208/.240/.583 with a 52 percent strikeout rate and no walks over 25 plate appearances.
Sep 16 2023Walsh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh hit a homer as a pinch hitter Friday and went yard again Saturday in his first two games back since he was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake. He got the start in right field and played there for the full game Saturday. The 30-year-old is slashing a meager .139/.253/.319 with three homers, eight RBI and seven runs scored over 83 major-league plate appearances, so it's unlikely he gets a full-time role over the last two weeks of the season.
Sep 14 2023The Angels selected Walsh's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh was sent outright to Triple-A at the beginning of August after slashing just .119/.244/.224 through 78 plate appearances in the majors. Walsh hasn't been spectacular in the minors either, but he'll return to give the Angels depth at first base and maybe in the corner outfield to close the season.
Aug 1 2023The Angels outrighted Walsh to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment last Thursday. The 30-year-old former All-Star missed the first several weeks of the 2023 season due to migraine headaches and batted just .119/.244/.224 in 28 major-league games before being optioned to the minors in late June. He'll now remain at Salt Lake.
Jul 27 2023Walsh was designated for assignment by the Angels on Thursday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh is gone from the 40-man roster in a string of moves following Wednesday night's trade for Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez. The 29-year-old first baseman was an All-Star in 2021 and posted an overall .850 OPS with 29 homers and 98 RBI across 118 games that season, but he drastically regressed in 2022 and had slashed just .119/.244/.224 through 28 major-league games this year while battling migraine headaches. He was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake in late June and was batting .132 with a .624 OPS in 66 plate appearances there since the demotion.
Jun 24 2023Walsh was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh has struggled mightily across 78 plate appearances this season, hitting just .119/.244/.224. As a result, he had lost a regular role against right-handed pitching and had started only two of the Angels' last nine games. He missed a significant part of the campaign with insomnia and migraines, but he'll look to regain his rhythm at the plate with Salt Lake.
Jun 20 2023Walsh will sit Tuesday versus the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh will take a seat against left-hander Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers. Righty bat Kevin Padlo will take over at first base and bat sixth Tuesday.
Jun 19 2023Walsh homered in his only at-bat in a 5-2 victory versus the Royals on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh began the game on the bench again Sunday -- the fifth time in Los Angeles' past six contests that he hasn't started. However, he entered the matchup to play first base in the sixth inning and belted a solo shot to right field in his only plate appearance in the ninth. It was a rare positive at-bat for Walsh this season, as he's slashing a meager .125/.253/.234 with a 32.0 percent strikeout rate over 75 plate appearances.
Jun 18 2023Walsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's Walsh's fifth time on the bench in the Halos' past six games, the last four of which have come against right-handed starters. The 29-year-old appears to have lost the starting job at first base with Brandon Drury receiving another start there Sunday.
Jun 17 2023Walsh will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's been a rough season for Walsh, who recovered from thoracic outlet surgery only to miss most of the first two months with headaches and insomnia. In 24 games since his return to action, he's hit a miserable .111/.243/.175, including a 2-for-36 run thus far in June. Brandon Drury will be Saturday's first baseman.
Jun 15 2023Walsh isn't in the Angels' lineup Thursday against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh has been ice-cold at the plate this season and hasn't logged a hit since June 2. Gio Urshela will take over in Walsh's place and bat fifth as the Angels look to get some offensive production out of their first baseman.
Jun 9 2023Walsh was added to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh had originally been slated to ride the pine for a second straight day, but he'll be pressed into action after Gio Urshela (back) got scratched. Walsh has gone 6-for-41 (.146) with 17 strikeouts in 18 games for the Angels since he missed the first several weeks of the season due to migraines and insomnia.
Jun 8 2023Walsh is out of the lineup Thursday versus the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brandon Drury will play first base and bat cleanup with Luis Rengifo covering second base and hitting seventh. Walsh missed the first several weeks of the 2023 season due to migraines and has slashed just .150/.333/.225 with zero home runs in 17 games (51 plate appearances) since being activated May 20.
Jun 6 2023Walsh isn't in the Angels' lineup Tuesday against the Cubs, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh's hitting woes on the year will cost him another start at first base Tuesday. Gio Urshela will take over in Walsh's place and bat seventh.
Jun 4 2023Walsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh has a .569 OPS in 14 games since coming off the injured list May 20, and he'll sit Sunday despite the fact righty J.P. France is starting for Houston. Brandon Drury will shift to first base while Luis Rengifo starts at the keystone.
Jun 1 2023Walsh went 2-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI in Wednesday's 12-5 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh's two-run double in the third inning was his first extra-base hit through 11 games this season. He'd add a second double later in the game, giving him his first multi-hit and multi-RBI game of the year as well. The 29-year-old first-baseman has gotten off to a slow start since rejoining the Angels, slashing .185/.353/.259 with three runs scored and four RBI while easing back into an everyday role.
May 29 2023Walsh is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Since returning from a season-opening stint on the injured list May 20, Walsh has gone just 2-for-18 with a 6:8 BB:K over his first eight games with the Angels. While the Angels aren't expected to pull the plug on him as their primary first baseman, the lefty-hitting Walsh could be limited to a strong-side platoon role, and he may sit against select right-handers, too. He finds himself on the bench Monday against righty Michael Kopech, with Brandon Drury filling in for him at first base.
May 26 2023Walsh is not in the lineup Friday night against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh has gone 2-for-15 (.133) with zero extra-base hits since being activated May 20 from a several-week stint on the injured list for insomnia and migraines. Brandon Drury is playing first base and batting fifth for the Angels on Friday versus Miami.
May 20 2023Walsh (head) went 0-for-4 with one RBI in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh wasn't able to get a hit in his season debut, but he had a productive groundout to get the Angels on the board in the fourth inning. The 29-year-old should be a candidate for at least a strong-side platoon role at first base now that he's recovered from a bout with migraines and insomnia. His return could mean a reduced role for players like Brandon Drury and Gio Urshela as the Angels work on getting their infield sorted out, though there's an opening at third base with Anthony Rendon (groin) out.
May 19 2023Angels manager Phil Nevin told reporters that Walsh (head) could be activated off the injured list before Saturday's game against the Giants if all goes well Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nevin told reporters earlier in the week that Walsh is directing the pace of his return, and the 29-year-old has performed well in his rehab assignment in Triple-A with a .500 average and 1.343 OPS over 20 at-bats. Walsh will likely see a good amount of time on the field once he's activated, but the Angels might take some early precautions with Walsh after he missed the first six-plus weeks of the 2023 campaign.
May 18 2023The Angels will decide if Walsh (head) will be activated from the injured list after Friday's game with Triple-A Salt Lake, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh has directed the pace of his return in the advanced stages of the process, and he reportedly wants to play consecutive games at first base. He'll do that Thursday and Friday, and then it will be determined if he is ready to be activated from the injured list. Since beginning a rehab assignment with Salt Lake on May 12, Walsh has hit .412 with one home run, four RBI and four runs scored across 22 plate appearances.
May 15 2023Angels manager Phil Nevin told reporters Monday that Walsh (head) feels good about his improved timing in his three rehab games for Triple-A Salt Lake, and that the team will "leave it up to him" to determine when he'll be ready to return, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh has gone 3-for-8 thus far in his rehab games with Salt Lake with a .958 OPS. The 29-year-old has missed all of 2023 while dealing with insomnia and migraines. Walsh has a chance to return to the Los Angeles lineup this week, but Nevin's statement makes it clear there's no clear timetable for when he'll be back on the diamond at the major-league level.
May 13 2023Walsh (head) went 0-for-2 with two walks and two strikeouts in a rehab game with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Migraines and insomnia had prevented Walsh from playing baseball until Friday, so the fact that the was able to see four plate appearances in his first action of the season was a significant positive step for him. The first baseman is expected to remain with Salt Lake at least throughout the weekend, though he could need a longer rehab stint depending on how his first few games go. Walsh may also be worked into the lineup gradually upon his return to the big club, as Gio Urshela has been hitting well while serving as the Angels' primary third baseman over the past several weeks.
May 10 2023Walsh (head) will receive his last treatment Thursday, and he's set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh is scheduled to play at least three games at Triple-A before being evaluated for a return from the 10-day injured list, though Sam Blum of The Athletic relays that the 29-year-old may require more time on the farm prior to being activated. The left-handed hitter has missed all of the 2023 season because of recurring migraines and bouts with insomnia. Whenever he's deemed ready to play, Walsh is expected to settle in as the Angels' everyday first baseman.
May 7 2023Walsh (head) could be cleared to face live pitching soon, Taylor Arrey of The Sporting Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh was able to incorporate more on-the-field workouts at Angel Stadium pregame Sunday. While there's no definitive date when he will face live pitching, it sounds like it should be in the coming days. Walsh is working his way back from recurring headaches which landed him on the injured list just before the season. It's possible he'll return before the end of the month, although there's not a clear timetable yet.
May 3 2023Walsh (head) is getting closer to a return and could begin a rehab assignment soon, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Angels are discussing just what kind of rehab assignment Walsh would begin with, as he could head out to a minor-league level or take live at-bats with the team in Anaheim. Either way it's great news for Walsh as he gets closer to returning from the recurring headaches that have sidelined him throughout the 2023 season. It's very possible the 30-year-old could be playing in games for the Angels by the end of May.
May 2 2023Angels general manager Perry Minasian told reporters before Tuesday's game against the Cardinals that Walsh (head) continues to make improvement, but there's no timeline for a return to the lineup, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh was cleared to resume some baseball activities, but he's still unable to ramp up enough to begin a minor-league rehab assignment at this stage. Because the left-handed hitter has missed so much time, he'll likely need a lengthy rehab stint before he can return to action. Once Walsh is healthy, he should see the majority of playing time at first base, but there's no guarantee of that happening in the near future.
Apr 3 2023Walsh (head) has been taking swings with the Angels' Triple-A affiliate in Salt Lake City, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh went on the IL just before Opening Day due to bouts of headaches and insomnia, but he appears to be feeling well enough now to swing a bat. While manager Phil Nevin indicated Sunday that Walsh remains without a timetable for a return, it's at least a positive sign that the first baseman has been making progress. He's expected to reclaim a starting role whenever he's able to take the field again.
Mar 29 2023The Angels placed Walsh (head) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: As expected, Walsh will be sidelined to begin the season while he continues to experience headaches and insomnia. The Angels haven't provided an estimated timeline for his return, and Brandon Drury and Jake Lamb will likely serve as the primary options at first base while Walsh is on the shelf.
Mar 11 2023Walsh started in right field in Saturday's Cactus League contest versus Arizona and went 1-for-3 with a run scored. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh was almost exclusively a first baseman last season, though he did get put into left field in two games. However, he played right field in 18 games in 2021, so it's not a position he's entirely unfamiliar with. Walsh's dabbling in right field Saturday coincides with manager Phil Nevin's comment early in camp that he expects to see Walsh spend some time the outfield this season, though the 29-year-old is expected to be the Angels' primary first baseman for the upcoming campaign.
Feb 18 2023Walsh said Saturday's that he feels 100 percent after recovering from September thoracic outlet surgery, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Thoracic outlet syndrome can be one of the toughest injuries for players to come back from, so it will be important to see Walsh's words backed up by his performance on the field, but it's nonetheless an encouraging sign that he's feeling fine. The surgery adds risk to Walsh's profile this season, as does the fact that he struggled to a .215/.269/.374 line last year. If he's fully recovered and can resemble the player who hit .280/.338/.531 over the previous two seasons, however, it would be a big boost to the Angels' playoff hopes.
Feb 8 2023Walsh (shoulder) told MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM on Wednesday that he's nearing a full recovery from surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh went under the knife last September, soon after the TOS diagnosis officially put an end to his disappointing 2022 campaign. He could certainly be a bounceback candidate if his health cooperates in 2023. "I feel great, but hopefully I can get even a little bit better," said the 29-year-old first baseman and corner outfielder.
Jan 13 2023Walsh (shoulder) and the Angels agreed on a one-year, $2.65 million contract Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh will avoid going through an arbitration hearing after coming to an agreement with Los Angeles on Friday. The 29-year-old was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome and underwent surgery in early September, but the condition isn't expected to impact his availability for 2023. Walsh produced a .215 average with 15 homers, 44 RBI, 41 runs and two stolen bases over 423 at-bats in 118 games last season.
Sep 2 2022Walsh recently underwent surgery to address his thoracic outlet syndrome, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome late last week, and his move to the 60-day injured list officially ended his season. The team's medical staff wasn't sure whether the 29-year-old would require surgery, but he ultimately underwent a procedure recently. However, Walsh expects to be ready to return in time for spring training in 2023.
Aug 25 2022The Angels transferred Walsh (thoracic outlet syndrome) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh wasn't even known to be nursing an injury until he suddenly appeared on the 10-day IL earlier Thursday, and now his season is officially over with the Angels moving him to the 60-day IL to clear room on the 40-man roster for waiver pickup Rob Zastryzny. After being diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, Walsh could need surgery to address the condition, though Angels athletic trainer Mike Frostad said a decision on that front has yet to be made. in any case, the first baseman won't make a full recovery in time to rejoin the Angels before season's end, so he'll conclude a disappointing 2022 campaign with a .215/.269/.374 slash line to go with 15 home runs and two stolen bases over 118 games. The Angels are likely to lean on the two players they called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday -- Mike Ford and Matt Thaiss -- to pick up most of the reps at first base the rest of the way.
Aug 24 2022Walsh isn't starting Wednesday against the Rays, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh is getting a day off after he went 0-for-13 with two walks and six strikeouts over the last four games. Phil Gosselin will take over at first base and bat eighth.
Aug 20 2022Walsh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh's solo shot turned out to be the only run scored in Friday's contest. It was his 15th homer on the season and his first since Aug. 4. Walsh has struggled to a .164 batting average this month, going 9-for-55 with 21 strikeouts. The outfielder hit over .300 against righties across the past two seasons, but is batting only .225 against them this year. His season slash line is a lackluster .223/.273/.387.
Aug 10 2022Walsh isn't starting Wednesday against the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh is getting a day off after he went 0-for-8 with three strikeouts over the last two games. Phil Gosselin will take over at first base and bat eighth.
Aug 7 2022Walsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Phil Gosselin will step in at first base in place of Walsh, who has been in a prolonged dry spell at the plate for the better part of six weeks. Since banging out three extra-base hits June 21 against the Royals, Walsh is slashing .160/.205/.232 while striking out at a 31.8 percent clip over a 35-game stretch.
Jul 24 2022Walsh went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run in a loss to Atlanta on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh entered the All-Star break mired in a massive slump during which he batted .125 (8-for-64) with no extra-base hits and only one RBI over 18 contests. The time off appears to have reawakened his bat, as he's gone 4-for-8 with three doubles in his first two games of the second half. Walsh has also struck out four times during that span, however, and has an ugly 30.3 percent strikeout rate on the campaign.

Jun 1 2022Walsh went 2-for-4 with a stolen base Tuesday in a loss to the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Angels offense was fairly stagnant in the loss, and Walsh was the only player on the team to record multiple hits.

Running isn't a big part of Walsh's game, as he has never notched more than two steals in any minor- or major-league campaign.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh gave the Angels their first lead with his 401-foot solo shot in the third inning, though Toronto ultimately pulled out the victory.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The first baseman got the Angels on the board with a three-run shot off Jeffrey Springs in the fourth inning, giving his team a lead it wouldn't relinquish. Walsh has six homers on the year, but four of them have come in the last six games -- a stretch during which he's hitting .417 (10-for-24) with 12 RBI.

The homer was his third of the season and first since April 15. The 28-year-old came into Wednesday's contest in the middle of 6-for-49 slump with four RBI over his prior 14 games, but he'll look to use the three-hit, four RBI effort to springboard a hot streak moving forward.
Apr 22 2022Walsh is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles.

Matt Duffy will cover first base in his absence.
Apr 19 2022Walsh will sit against lefty Framber Valdez and the Astros on Tuesday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh has now been on the bench against all but one of the five lefties the Angels have faced this season.

Apr 17 2022Walsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Apr 16 2022Walsh will sit Saturday against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh hits the bench against lefty Taylor Hearn, meaning he's now sat against two of the three lefties the Angels have faced thus far this year. He owns a career 58 wRC+ against lefties and a 152 wRC+ against righties, so something close to a true platoon role may be the best way for the Angels to deploy him. Matt Duffy will start at first base in his absence.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh got the Angels on the board with an RBI single in the first inning, singled in the sixth and later capped the game's scoring with another run scoring hit in the ninth.

He leads the team with 50 hits and is slashing .327/.392/.575 in 171 plate appearances.
May 20 2021Walsh is not in the lineup for the first half of Thursday's doubleheader against the Twins, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh continues to stay hot at the plate following his strong start, posting a 1.073 OPS over his last 10 games after posting a .935 OPS over his first 30. He'll rest for at least half the day Thursday, with Phil Gosselin starting at first base, but he'll likely return to the lineup for the nightcap.
May 17 2021Walsh went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles in Sunday's 6-5 win over Boston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After getting a rare rest day Saturday, Walsh was back in the lineup against the Red Sox and finished with his 11th multi-hit performance of the season. The first baseman has followed a breakthrough 2020 campaign with an even better one this season. His OPS is up 12 points to .982, and Walsh ranks sixth in baseball with a .338 batting average. He has also slugged seven homers and driven in 29 runs.
May 15 2021Walsh is out of the lineup Saturday against the Red Sox, ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh will receive his first day off in May with left-hander Martin Perez on the mound for the Red Sox. Phil Gosselin will draw the start at first base and hit sixth.
May 11 2021Walsh went 4-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run, two RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 5-4 win over the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old went back-to-back with Justin Upton in the sixth inning, part of a four-run rally that erased an early deficit for the Angels. Walsh continues to tear it up after a sluggish start to the season, slashing .412/.483/.667 over his last 14 games. On the year, he's now hitting a majestic .347 with seven homers, two steals, 16 runs and 29 RBI through 33 contests as he proves that last year's breakout was no fluke.
May 10 2021Walsh went 1-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a walk in the Angels' 2-1 win over the Dodgers on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh recorded a double off Trevor Bauer in the third inning that scored the only two runs for the Angels Sunday. Coming off a strong 2020 campaign, the 27-year-old is slashing .325/.405/.544 in 135 plate appearances this season. He has six home runs, 15 runs and leads the Angels with 27 RBI.
May 9 2021Walsh went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run and three RBI in Saturday's 14-11 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Angels trailed 13-0 after five innings, but Walsh did his part to ensure the Halos made the final score more respectable. He was at the center of a four-run rally in the bottom of the sixth, plating two on a base hit to center field. The 27-year-old has continued to build on his breakout performance from last September, opening the 2021 season with a .324/.402/.541 slash line through 31 games.
May 6 2021Walsh is expected to serve as the Angels everyday first baseman moving forward, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh will take over at first base after Albert Pujols was designated for assignment Thursday. The shift won't increase playing time for Walsh, as he was starting nearly every game between first base and right field for the first month of the season. However, it does create playing time in right field, which should eventually be claimed by Jo Adell or Brandon Marsh (shoulder).
May 2 2021Walsh went 4-for-4 with two home runs, a walk and three total RBI in Saturday's 10-5 win over Seattle. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh victimized Mariners starter Ljay Newsome, taking the right-hander deep twice in the first two innings. Walsh didn't stop there, reaching base in each of his subsequent three plate appearances to become the fifth player in franchise history with at least four hits and two homers in the same game. The 27-year-old has looked even better so far this season than in his breakout 2020 campaign, registering a .360/.429/.640 slash line along with six homers and a team-leading 21 RBI.
Apr 27 2021Walsh went 2-for-4 with a double, run and strikeout in Los Angeles' 6-1 loss to Texas on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh scored the Angels only run of the game on Albert Pujols' second-inning-infield single as the team struggled to cash in on opportunities against Rangers' starter Mike Foltynewicz. He appears locked into the starting right-fielder job moving forward.
Apr 16 2021Walsh went 2-for-4 with a homer and three RBI in Friday's 10-3 win over the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh started the game's scoring with a two-run single in the fourth inning before giving the Angels a 10-3 lead with his solo shot in the seventh. The 27-year-old slugger is slashing an impressive .341/.426/.707 with four home runs and 13 RBI through 47 plate appearances.
Apr 14 2021Walsh will start in right field and bat cleanup Wednesday against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Juan Lagares (calf) recently joining Dexter Fowler (knee) on the injured list and with Justin Upton (back) considered day-to-day, the Angels are running thin on options in the corner outfield. Walsh has been able to pick up more work in right field as a result, as he'll be making his third straight start at the position Wednesday. With four outfield starts in total already under his belt this season, Walsh looks like he could soon gain eligibility at the position in certain fantasy leagues.
Apr 10 2021Walsh isn't starting Saturday's game against the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs and a walk in Friday's win over Toronto, but he'll take a seat against left-hander Steven Matz on Saturday. Albert Pujols will start at first base Saturday, batting fifth.
Apr 9 2021Walsh went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk, and two total runs scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh got aboard with an infield single in the second inning and scored on an error. He added his long ball in the fifth inning to complete the Angels' scoring Friday. Walsh is up to three homers, nine RBI, six runs scored and a .375/.464/.833 slash line across 27 plate appearances. He appears to be working toward an everyday role in the lineup, whether he plays at first base or in right field. The latter could be a short-term path to at-bats after Dexter Fowler left Friday's game with a minor knee injury.
Apr 6 2021Walsh will start in right field and bat fifth Tuesday against the Astros, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Just as manager Joe Maddon recently hinted might be the case, Walsh will pick up work in the corner outfield for the first time this season as the Angels attempt to find ways to keep his hot bat in the lineup. Though Walsh played 16 innings in right field in 2020, he doesn't profile as an ideal defender at the position, so he'll likely need to continue mashing in order for the Angels to justify running him out there on a regular basis. Through his first three starts of the season, Walsh has gone 5-for-13 with two home runs, a triple, a walk, seven RBI and four runs.
Apr 4 2021Walsh went 2-for-4 with a pair of homers, a walk and four RBI in Sunday's win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh sat in favor of Albert Pujols in the first two games of the season, but a few more games like this should convince manager Joe Maddon to write his name in the lineup as often as possible. Walsh gave his team the lead with a solo shot off Codi Heuer in the fifth inning. After the White Sox tied the score in the top of the ninth, Walsh sent Angels fans home happy, hitting a walkoff three-run shot off Matt Foster.
Apr 2 2021Walsh, who is not in Friday's lineup against the White Sox, will start Saturday against righty Lance Lynn, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh rode the pine Thursday, even with righty Lucas Giolito on the hill for Chicago, and will sit again Friday with southpaw Dallas Keuchel starting. It's nice to know he'll be starting Saturday, but it's still a little concerning that manager Joe Maddon doesn't necessarily view him as a near-everyday player in the early going.
Mar 15 2021Walsh is expected to get the majority of the starts at first base for the Angels this season, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh essentially won this season's starting job at the end of the 2020 campaign, when he slashed .326/.357/.719 with nine home runs over his final 98 plate appearances. Albert Pujols remains on the team and will get an occasional start at first, but Walsh should be able to hold down the position as long as he is producing. So far this spring, the 27-year-old is batting .250 (4-for-16) with a pair of RBI.
Feb 18 2021Walsh is still listed as a two-way player on the Angels' official roster, but the team has no intentions to have him pitch this season, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In recent seasons, Walsh was most intriguing for his two-way conversion attempt, as it wasn't clear he had what it took to stick on a big-league roster as purely a hitter. While he did throw five innings of relief in 2019, allowing one run but walking six batters, he was purely a hitter last year and was suddenly a good one. In 32 games, he hit nine homers while slashing .293/.324/.646 and striking out just 13.9 percent of the time. His .527 xSLG indicated that he benefited from some good luck but still struck the ball very well, and the Angels' reported intention to end his pitching experiment seemingly suggests that they think he can continue to contribute at the plate.
Sep 25 2020Walsh went 2-for-5 with a solo home run during Friday's loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh extended the Angels' lead with a solo shot against Brusdar Graterol in the fifth inning. The 27-year-old has tallied nine home runs so far this year to go with a .297/.323/.659 slash line.
Sep 21 2020Walsh went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Monday's 8-5 victory over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh gave his club some breathing room in the fourth inning, clubbing a home run with the bases loaded to increase the Angels' lead to five. The 27-year-old has been impressive so far this season, slashing .312/.333/.701 with eight home runs and 23 RBI through 27 contests.
Sep 17 2020Walsh went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk and an additional run scored in a loss to Arizona on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: That makes six homers in seven games for Walsh, who pummeled a Taylor Clarke changeup for a long ball Wednesday. It has been a remarkable turnaround for the 27-year-old, who entered September with no hits in 13 at-bats. Since the start of the month, Walsh has slashed .422/.440/1.022 with seven homers, 17 RBI and 14 runs. Among players with at least 50 plate appearances this season, Walsh ranks first in ISO (.466) and second in OPS (1.142).
Sep 15 2020Walsh went 3-for-5 with a home run, two doubles and three RBI in Tuesday's loss to Arizona. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh victimized former All-Star Madison Bumgarner, knocking the veteran southpaw around for a pair of doubles and a long ball. He was responsible for the Angels' first three runs of the contest, slugging a solo homer to right field in the third inning and a two-run double in the fifth. Walsh hasn't been picky about who he dominates lately; over his last six games, he has gone 12-for-27 (.444) with five homers and 12 RBI. That has helped him bring his slash line up to an impressive .315/.328/.759 overall.
Sep 12 2020Walsh went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in a win over the Rockies on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh was moved up to the second spot in the lineup for Saturday's tilt and came through with a three-run shot to right field in the 11th inning that provided the winning runs. After a rough start to the campaign, Walsh has taken off in September, collecting at least one hit in eight of nine contests and going 12-for-31 (.387) overall. He has homered in each of his last four games, driving in eight runs over that span.
Sep 11 2020Walsh went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 8-4 loss to the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh singled and scored in the first inning, but his biggest hit Friday was a game-tying, eighth-inning solo shot. The first baseman has now homered in three straight games. He's got four round-trippers this season, along with nine RBI, nine runs scored and a .256/.262/.667 slash line across 42 plate appearances.
Sep 10 2020Walsh went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh gave the Angels a 3-0 lead with his long ball off Kyle Gibson in the first. It marked the second game in a row with a homer for the first baseman. With the Angels expected to give plenty of opportunities to their younger players, Walsh should see a fair share of the time at first base during the season's final weeks.
Sep 9 2020Walsh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a pair of strikeouts against Texas on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh plated the Angels' lone run in the loss, taking Lance Lynn deep in the fifth inning. The blast was Walsh's second in the last four games and accounted for his fifth RBI over that span. The 27-year-old is still hitting a paltry .194 on the season.
Sep 6 2020Walsh explained Saturday that he missed the beginning part of summer camp due to a positive test for COVID-19, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh indicated that his positive test came a week before the start of camp, providing an explanation for why he did not report until July 9. The 27-year-old has spent much of the campaign at the team's alternate training site and is slashing a paltry .125/.154/.333 with one home run in 26 plate appearances with the big club. Walsh added that he won't be pitching this season but still plans to train as a pitcher in the offseason, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.
Sep 4 2020Walsh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, another RBI and a walk during Friday's win against Houston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh extended the lead with a solo home run against Luis Garcia in the third inning. It was the first MLB homer for the 27-year-old, who was optioned to alternate camp in early August, but returned to the active roster on Aug. 28. Walsh went hitless at 0-for-10 to begin the season.
Aug 28 2020Walsh was recalled from the Angels' alternate training site Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh was optioned to alternate camp in early August, but he'll return to the active roster. The 27-year-old went hitless in 10 at-bats to begin the season and likely won't play a significant role while serving in a depth role in the near future.
Aug 3 2020Walsh was optioned to the Angels' alternate training site Monday, Andersen Pickard of MLBDailyDish.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh made the Angels' Opening Day roster and received a handful of opportunities early in the season, but he failed to grab a single hit in 10 at-bats. If he returns to the roster at some point this season, it will likely be in a minor role.
Jul 23 2020The Angels recalled Walsh from their alternate training site Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh boasts intriguing power, but since he's limited defensively to first base, he won't have a path to a regular role unless Albert Pujols is forced to miss time. The 26-year-old logged 87 plate appearances in his MLB debut season in 2019, batting .203 while striking out 40.2 percent of the time.
Jul 9 2020Walsh (undisclosed) reported to the Angels' camp Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh missed the first several workouts of camp for an undisclosed reason, but he arrived Thursday and apparently cleared intake testing as he was able to train with the team. It's unclear whether the 26-year-old's late arrival will impact his readiness for the start of the regular season.
Jul 7 2020Walsh still hasn't reported to the Angels' camp for an undisclosed reason, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times report. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Joe Maddon revealed Tuesday that Walsh still hasn't reported to camp, although he wasn't able to provide a reason for his absence. The 26-year-old is no lock to make the team's 30-man roster to begin the regular season, and it's unclear when he'll be able to resume baseball activities. Whether his absence will impact his readiness for Opening Day remains to be seen.
Jul 5 2020Walsh could make the Angels' 30-man roster if Matt Thaiss (undisclosed) is unable to play at the start of the season, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh's chances of breaking camp with the big-league club appeared slim after he was optioned to the minors in late March following a rough spring at the plate, and he could still end up off the active roster despite its expansion to 30 players to begin the campaign. However, with Thaiss -- the team's expected backup to Albert Pujols at first base -- yet to report to camp, Walsh could be needed to fill a bench role if Thaiss is unable to play at the outset of the season.
Mar 25 2020Walsh was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh struggled through spring training with a .150/.320/.350 slash line and one home run in 11 contests, and he's set to begin the season at Triple-A. Walsh has worked as a two-way player over the last couple seasons, but MLB's new policy for two-way players in 2020 may make it difficult for him to earn such a designation.
Mar 22 2020Walsh could struggle to earn two-way designation as a position player and a pitcher under the specifics of MLB's new policy, Kyle Glaser of Baseball America reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Under the policy, a player who primarily plays the field must first be designated as a pitcher -- thus counting toward the team's 13-pitcher limit -- then accrue the necessary plate appearances in order to gain two-way designation. That could significantly hamper the value of a player like Walsh because the Angels may be hesitant to carry him against their pitcher limit while waiting for him to qualify for the two-way designation. As it stands, Walsh is already facing the probability of beginning the season in the minor leagues after hitting only .150 this spring. Per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, Walsh's struggles have likely elevated Matt Thaiss into the role of backup to Albert Pujols when the regular season gets underway.
Sep 27 2019Walsh isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Houston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh will head to the bench for the second straight contest. Albert Pujols draws the start at first base and is set to bat third.
Sep 26 2019Walsh is not starting Thursday against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh is sitting for Thursday's series opener with a left-hander in Wade Miley starting for Houston. Albert Pujols is starting at first base in his place, with Taylor Ward entering the lineup at DH.
Sep 18 2019Walsh is not starting Wednesday against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh has been handed a fair number of opportunities this month, starting each of the previous four games at first base, but he hasn't done much with them. He's gone 3-for-22 at the plate in September. Albert Pujols will be the first baseman Wednesday, with Taylor Ward serving as the designated hitter.
Sep 15 2019Walsh will start at first base and bat eighth Sunday against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh will draw his third consecutive start after going 1-for-7 with a double and four strikeouts in the first two games of the series. The lefty-hitting rookie's inclusion in the lineup for the series finale is somewhat surprising, given that the Rays are bringing a lefty (Ryan Yarbrough) to the hill. At least for now, Walsh looks like he'll have a path to steady playing time with Albert Pujols on track to see most of the starts at designated hitter now that Shohei Ohtani (elbow, knee) has been shut down for the season.
Sep 10 2019Walsh hit a solo home run in his lone at-bat in a loss to Cleveland on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Walsh stepped up to the plate as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and crushed a 419-foot shot to center field for his first major-league home run. The 30-year-old racked up 36 long balls with Triple-A Salt Lake this season while slashing .325/.423/.686 in 98 games.
Sep 1 2019The Angels recalled Walsh from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox.
