Walsh (shoulder) told MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM on Wednesday that he's nearing a full recovery from surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh went under the knife last September, soon after the TOS diagnosis officially put an end to his disappointing 2022 campaign. He could certainly be a bounceback candidate if his health cooperates in 2023. "I feel great, but hopefully I can get even a little bit better," said the 29-year-old first baseman and corner outfielder.

Walsh (shoulder) and the Angels agreed on a one-year, $2.65 million contract Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh will avoid going through an arbitration hearing after coming to an agreement with Los Angeles on Friday. The 29-year-old was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome and underwent surgery in early September, but the condition isn't expected to impact his availability for 2023. Walsh produced a .215 average with 15 homers, 44 RBI, 41 runs and two stolen bases over 423 at-bats in 118 games last season.

Walsh recently underwent surgery to address his thoracic outlet syndrome, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome late last week, and his move to the 60-day injured list officially ended his season. The team's medical staff wasn't sure whether the 29-year-old would require surgery, but he ultimately underwent a procedure recently. However, Walsh expects to be ready to return in time for spring training in 2023.

The Angels transferred Walsh (thoracic outlet syndrome) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh wasn't even known to be nursing an injury until he suddenly appeared on the 10-day IL earlier Thursday, and now his season is officially over with the Angels moving him to the 60-day IL to clear room on the 40-man roster for waiver pickup Rob Zastryzny. After being diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, Walsh could need surgery to address the condition, though Angels athletic trainer Mike Frostad said a decision on that front has yet to be made. in any case, the first baseman won't make a full recovery in time to rejoin the Angels before season's end, so he'll conclude a disappointing 2022 campaign with a .215/.269/.374 slash line to go with 15 home runs and two stolen bases over 118 games. The Angels are likely to lean on the two players they called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday -- Mike Ford and Matt Thaiss -- to pick up most of the reps at first base the rest of the way.

Angels head athletic trainer Mike Frostad said that Walsh, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday after being diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, will be re-evaluated next week, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

At this stage, Frostad said season-ending surgery could be a possibility for Walsh, who first informed the Angels' training staff earlier this week that he was dealing with a physical issue. Though Walsh was still able to play as recently as Wednesday, he'll now be shut down for at least the next week and a half following his diagnosis. Mike Ford was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, and he could end up serving as the primary replacement for Walsh as the Angels' everyday first baseman.

The Angels placed Walsh on the 10-day injured list Thursday after he was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome.

EDGE Analysis

Thoracic outlet syndrome is a nerve issue that typically presents shoulder and neck pain and one that typically affects pitchers, making Walsh's diagnosis somewhat of a rare case. The condition may at least partially explain why Walsh has noticed a massive dropoff in production at the plate since the beginning of July. After producing a .765 OPS in 74 games from Opening Day to the end of June, the 29-year-old has turned in a dismal .133/.207/.213 slash line while striking out at a 33.5 percent clip over the past two months. Walsh is without a timeline for a return, but given the nature of the condition and the Angels' status as a non-contending team, it wouldn't be surprising if he was shut down for the season. The Angels selected Mike Ford's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, and he'll replace Walsh at first base in the team's series finale with the Rays.

Walsh is not in the starting lineup Thursday against the Rays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh will remain on the bench for a second straight game. After being called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, Mike Ford will replace him at first base and bat fourth in the series finale.

Walsh isn't starting Wednesday against the Rays, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh is getting a day off after he went 0-for-13 with two walks and six strikeouts over the last four games. Phil Gosselin will take over at first base and bat eighth.

Walsh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh's solo shot turned out to be the only run scored in Friday's contest. It was his 15th homer on the season and his first since Aug. 4. Walsh has struggled to a .164 batting average this month, going 9-for-55 with 21 strikeouts. The outfielder hit over .300 against righties across the past two seasons, but is batting only .225 against them this year. His season slash line is a lackluster .223/.273/.387.

Walsh isn't starting Wednesday against the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walsh is getting a day off after he went 0-for-8 with three strikeouts over the last two games. Phil Gosselin will take over at first base and bat eighth.
