Walsh is expected to serve as the Angels everyday first baseman moving forward, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
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).

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.
