EDGE Analysis

It was the veteran first baseman's second straight game with a long ball and his third home run of the second half. Walker has been hitting well since the All-Star break, batting .309 (17-for-55) with 11 RBI, eight runs and a stolen base through 15 games.

Walker went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
That's now four consecutive outings with at least one hit for Walker, who continues to heat up in July following a miserable start to his Astros career. The veteran first baseman had a .635 for the year through June 29, but Walker is hitting a hot .329 with three home runs, four doubles and 18 RBI through 85 at-bats this month.

Walker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Sunday's 11-3 win over Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Walker took Bryan Woo yard in the sixth inning, marking the first baseman's 13th long ball of the campaign. He's been on a tear lately, going 17-for-52 with three home runs in his last 12 games. Walker is on pace to log his fewest home runs in a season since 2021 after hitting 26 or more round trippers in each of the last three seasons.

Walker went 2-for-4 with two walks, two RBI and one stolen base in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Walker had gone 0-for-12 with seven strikeouts over his previous three games. Prior to that brief slump wrapped around the All-Star break, the first baseman hit safely in 10 of 11 games between June 26 and July 11. It's been a bumpy first year in Houston for the 34-year-old, but he's been steadier recently. He's at a .229/.289/.371 slash line with 12 home runs, 49 RBI, 37 runs scored and one steal through 92 contests.

The Astros reinstated Walker from the paternity list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
After spending three games away from the team while celebrating the birth of his child, Walker will rejoin the Astros and slide back in as the club's everyday first baseman. The 34-year-old has had a down year at the plate overall, but he's gone 16-for-43 (.372) with two home runs and eight RBI over his last 10 contests.

The Astros placed Walker on the paternity list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Walker will likely be away for the entirety of the Astros' three-game set against the Guardians that runs through Wednesday before rejoining the club for its weekend series versus the Rangers. Victor Caratini could see reps at first base while Walker is away.

Walker went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Sunday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Walker popped his second home run in Houston's three-game set against the Dodgers on Sunday, bringing his total to 12 on the season. He also has a six-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 12-for-28 with eight RBI and four runs scored. Despite the strong stretch, Walker continues to have an underwhelming season by hitting .231/.291/.381 across 364 plate appearances.

Walker went 4-for-5 with a home run, a hit-by-pitch, four RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 18-1 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Walker delivered an RBI single in the first inning, a two-run homer in the third and drove in another run when he was plunked with the bases loaded in the sixth. After floundering a bit late in June, Walker is 10-for-19 with six RBI over four games to begin July. His homer Friday is his only extra-base hit of the month so far. The first baseman is at a .231/.293/.377 slash line with 11 long balls, 43 RBI, 35 runs scored, 12 doubles and one triple across 85 games this season.

Walker went 3-for-4 with one RBI in Tuesday's victory over Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Walker tallied his fourth three-hit game of the season. A high-profile offseason addition, the first baseman has struggled to find his footing in his first year with Houston, slashing .220/.283/.362 with 23 extra-base hits and 38 RBI across 82 games. While he made solid contact Tuesday, Walker has yet to come close to matching the power he displayed during his eight seasons in Arizona, where he posted a .464 slugging percentage.
