Walsh went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Walsh notched an RBI-double in the second to make it a 6-0 ballgame and later plated two more runs in the eighth when he hit his 14th homer of the year. The long ball was his first in 10 days as he's slowed down a bit this month with just a .206 batting average before his two-hit performance Sunday. He's now slashing .293/.363/.556 and has 43 RBI, 34 runs scored and two stolen bases over 251 plate appearances as he continues to be one of the top bats in the Angels' lineup.

Walsh isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Royals, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walsh, who boasts a 1.047 OPS against right-handed pitchers but just a .651 against lefties, sits against southpaw Kris Bubic. Overall, the first baseman hasn't been quite as productive lately, hitting .200 in his last 11 games. The power hasn't left Walsh's game, though, as he's hit four doubles and two homers in that span. Phil Gosselin gets the start at first base Tuesday.

Walsh went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-4 loss to the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Walsh hit his ninth long shot off James Kaprielian in the sixth inning of Friday's game. He trails only Shohei Ohtani for most home runs on the Angels. The 27-year-old has two homers in his last four games. The Angels are invested in Walsh, as they were willing to part with Albert Pujols to give him more time at first base. He leads the team with 50 hits and is slashing .327/.392/.575 in 171 plate appearances.

Walsh is not in the lineup for the first half of Thursday's doubleheader against the Twins, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Walsh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Walsh's solo shot in the fourth was his only hit of the day as the Angels were largely held in check by Aaron Civale and the bullpen. The 27-year-old has enjoyed a stellar season thus far, slashing .331/.399/.572 with eight home runs, 31 RBI, 18 runs scored and two stolen bases. The pressure to keep hitting at a high rate will be on him even more with Mike Trout (calf) expected to be sidelined for the next 6-to-8 weeks.
