Walsh went 3-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and two runs in the victory over the Red Sox on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Walsh doubled and scored in the top of the fifth inning and notched an RBI single in the ninth frame before launching a three-run long ball off Hirokazu Sawamura in the 10th inning. The homer was his third of the season and first since April 15. The 28-year-old came into Wednesday's contest in the middle of 6-for-49 slump with four RBI over his prior 14 games, but he'll look to use the three-hit, four RBI effort to springboard a hot streak moving forward.

Walsh will sit against lefty Framber Valdez and the Astros on Tuesday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walsh has now been on the bench against all but one of the five lefties the Angels have faced this season. He's just a .199/.226/.377 career hitter against southpaws, so expect that setup to continue going forward. Matt Duffy will start at first base Tuesday.

Walsh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the second straight day Walsh will sit against a left-handed pitcher (Martin Perez), and he's now sat against three of the four lefties the Angels have faced this year. Matt Duffy will start at first base in his place.

Walsh will sit Saturday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Walsh hits the bench against lefty Taylor Hearn, meaning he's now sat against two of the three lefties the Angels have faced thus far this year. He owns a career 58 wRC+ against lefties and a 152 wRC+ against righties, so something close to a true platoon role may be the best way for the Angels to deploy him. Matt Duffy will start at first base in his absence.

Walsh is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

Walsh went 3-for-5 with a run and two RBI in a 13-6 defeat at the hands of the Astros on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Walsh got the Angels on the board with an RBI single in the first inning, singled in the sixth and later capped the game's scoring with another run scoring hit in the ninth. It was a nice rebound from a hitless performance Thursday and the 28-year-old lefty should see ample RBI chances batting fourth in a top-heavy lineup.
