Walsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Phil Gosselin will step in at first base in place of Walsh, who has been in a prolonged dry spell at the plate for the better part of six weeks. Since banging out three extra-base hits June 21 against the Royals, Walsh is slashing .160/.205/.232 while striking out at a 31.8 percent clip over a 35-game stretch.

Walsh went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run in a loss to Atlanta on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Walsh entered the All-Star break mired in a massive slump during which he batted .125 (8-for-64) with no extra-base hits and only one RBI over 18 contests. The time off appears to have reawakened his bat, as he's gone 4-for-8 with three doubles in his first two games of the second half. Walsh has also struck out four times during that span, however, and has an ugly 30.3 percent strikeout rate on the campaign.

EDGE Analysis
Walsh hasn't had a multi-hit game in almost a month, with his last one coming June 21. Since then, he's hit .125/.152/.125 with 23 strikeouts and just two walks. David MacKinnon will handle first base Saturday with lefty Julio Urias on the mound for the Dodgers.

Walsh is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis

Walsh went 3-for-6 with a home run, a triple, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 12-11 extra-innings loss to the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Walsh had the three extra-base hits by the seventh inning, including a fourth-inning solo shot. He had two chances to complete the cycle, but he flied out in the ninth inning and fouled out to end the game with the tying run aboard in the 11th. While he missed out on a rare accomplishment, it was still a productive game for the first baseman. Walsh has four multi-hit games in his last 11, and he's up to a .261/.308/.482 slash line with 13 homers, 40 RBI, 31 runs scored, 12 doubles, two triples and a stolen base in 67 contests overall.

Walsh went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a walk across both games of Saturday's doubleheader sweep of Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Walsh was quiet in the matinee, striking out twice in three at-bats. He was out of the starting lineup for the nightcap but came on as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and drilled a two-run homer to extend the Angels' lead to 3-0. The first baseman remained in the contest and notched another hit -- this time a single -- in the ninth. Walsh is slashing .255/.306/.464 with 12 homers, 38 RBI and a stolen base on the season.

Walsh is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's nightcap against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
With a pair of lefties, Tommy Milone and Justus Sheffield, the potential primary pitchers for Seattle, Walsh heads to the bench. Right-handed first baseman David MacKinnon, whose contract was purchased before Game 2, will start at first base and hit sixth in his big-league debut.
