Walsh homered in his only at-bat in a 5-2 victory versus the Royals on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Walsh began the game on the bench again Sunday -- the fifth time in Los Angeles' past six contests that he hasn't started. However, he entered the matchup to play first base in the sixth inning and belted a solo shot to right field in his only plate appearance in the ninth. It was a rare positive at-bat for Walsh this season, as he's slashing a meager .125/.253/.234 with a 32.0 percent strikeout rate over 75 plate appearances.

Walsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
It's Walsh's fifth time on the bench in the Halos' past six games, the last four of which have come against right-handed starters. The 29-year-old appears to have lost the starting job at first base with Brandon Drury receiving another start there Sunday.

Walsh will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a rough season for Walsh, who recovered from thoracic outlet surgery only to miss most of the first two months with headaches and insomnia. In 24 games since his return to action, he's hit a miserable .111/.243/.175, including a 2-for-36 run thus far in June. Brandon Drury will be Saturday's first baseman.

EDGE Analysis
Walsh had originally been slated to ride the pine for a second straight day, but he'll be pressed into action after Gio Urshela (back) got scratched. Walsh has gone 6-for-41 (.146) with 17 strikeouts in 18 games for the Angels since he missed the first several weeks of the season due to migraines and insomnia.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh went 2-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI in Wednesday's 12-5 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Walsh's two-run double in the third inning was his first extra-base hit through 11 games this season. He'd add a second double later in the game, giving him his first multi-hit and multi-RBI game of the year as well. The 29-year-old first-baseman has gotten off to a slow start since rejoining the Angels, slashing .185/.353/.259 with three runs scored and four RBI while easing back into an everyday role.
