Walsh isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh will head to the bench for the second straight contest. Albert Pujols draws the start at first base and is set to bat third.

Walsh is not starting Thursday against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh is sitting for Thursday's series opener with a left-hander in Wade Miley starting for Houston. Albert Pujols is starting at first base in his place, with Taylor Ward entering the lineup at DH.

Walsh is not starting Wednesday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh has been handed a fair number of opportunities this month, starting each of the previous four games at first base, but he hasn't done much with them. He's gone 3-for-22 at the plate in September. Albert Pujols will be the first baseman Wednesday, with Taylor Ward serving as the designated hitter.

Walsh will start at first base and bat eighth Sunday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh will draw his third consecutive start after going 1-for-7 with a double and four strikeouts in the first two games of the series. The lefty-hitting rookie's inclusion in the lineup for the series finale is somewhat surprising, given that the Rays are bringing a lefty (Ryan Yarbrough) to the hill. At least for now, Walsh looks like he'll have a path to steady playing time with Albert Pujols on track to see most of the starts at designated hitter now that Shohei Ohtani (elbow, knee) has been shut down for the season.

Walsh hit a solo home run in his lone at-bat in a loss to Cleveland on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh stepped up to the plate as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and crushed a 419-foot shot to center field for his first major-league home run. The 30-year-old racked up 36 long balls with Triple-A Salt Lake this season while slashing .325/.423/.686 in 98 games.

The Angels recalled Walsh from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh will rejoin the Angels as a September callup after torching Pacific Coast League pitching throughout the campaign, batting .325 while ranking third on the circuit with 36 home runs. The 26-year-old boasts impressive raw power and augments his value by offering the Angels another bullpen arm from the left side, but those skills aren't likely to earn him steady work in the final few weeks of the season.

Walsh went 4-for-6 with three home runs and five RBI for Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

This was Walsh's second three-homer game in the minors this season, with the other occurring July 23. The 26-year-old has displayed prodigious power with Salt Lake in 2019, mashing 34 home runs to rank fourth in the Pacific Coast League. He has also compiled an impressive .328/.430/.695 slash line while knocking in 80 runs in 93 games. Walsh has received four callups to the Angels this season, hitting .237 with no long balls in 38 at-bats. He is likely to rejoin the big club when rosters expand in September.

Walsh was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh was recalled from Salt Lake on Sunday and went 1-for-5 with three strikeouts during his brief stint in the majors. The 26-year-old makes his return to Triple-A, where he has a .329/.433/.687 slash line with 29 home runs in 81 games.

The Angels recalled Walsh from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of Sunday's game against the Indians, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh will move up to the big club for the fourth time this season after going 8-for-33 with 13 strikeouts across his previous three stints. Since Albert Pujols and Shohei Ohtani are locked in as the Angels' primary options at first base and designated hitter, respectively, Walsh doesn't project to see steady at-bats while the players ahead of him on the depth chart are both healthy.

Walsh was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake prior to Sunday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

He only got one at-bat during his most recent stint with the big-league club. Walsh will continue to serve as organizational depth going forward and will rejoin the big-league club in September, if not sooner.
