EDGE Analysis

With Houston having been officially eliminated from playoff contention following Saturday's action, Walker and other key regulars will sit for the season finale.

He's added a .238/.297/.421 slash line with 88 RBI, 72 runs scored, two stolen bases and 24 doubles over 154 contests.

He now has 22 home runs on the season, six of which have come in his last 16 starts.
