Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh (side) has yet to be activated from the 10-day injured list. Although there were rumblings that he would be ready to go for the weekend matchups against the Los Angeles Dodgers, skipper Joe Maddon couldn't provide an update on Saturday when asked. The 28-year-old was playing relatively well before going down with an intercostal strain at the end of July, so the lack of news is rather unfortunate. However, fantasy managers should remain optimistic that...

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh (side) could return for this weekend's series versus the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to manager Joe Maddon. He's been doing drills on the field and could take batting practice on Friday. Walsh is on the 10-day IL and hasn't played in a game since July 26. When healthy, he's been a terrific contributor for the Angels, slashing .266/.320/.516 with 22 HRs, 67 RBI, and 47 runs across 97 games. It's a positive sign for fantasy managers who want Walsh ...

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh (side) has been placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to July 27, Megan Garcia of MLB.com reported.

Phil Gosselin will continue filling in at first base and bat third in Walsh's absence. Gosselin is slashing .288/.351/.410 with three home runs and 20 RBI on 40 hits this season.

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani and first baseman Jared Walsh are not in the starting lineup on Friday against Minnesota Twins left-hander J.A. Happ. Ohtani has been a revelation at the plate and on the mound in an MVP-type season thus far, but he's gone just 4-for-24 (.167) with no home runs and four RBI in 27 plate appearances in the last six games. He'll surely snap out of it eventually, though, and fantasy managers wouldn't want to miss his next explosion. Walsh has ...

Coming out of the All-Star break, the biggest surprises at first base are Cody Bellinger on the negative side and, perhaps, Jared Walsh on the positive side. Bellinger has been in and out of the Los Angeles lineup due to injury. When he has played, he's been terrible. Don't think of acquiring him for cheap though. He is still rostered in virtually all leagues. On the positive side, a number of guys have been unexpectedly great. Walsh wasn't even positioned to be an everyday player when the ...
