Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh had himself a big day at the plate in Thursday's 8-0 blowout win against the Boston Red Sox. He went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and four RBI. The 28-year-old is now slashing .247/.302/.416 with four home runs, 18 RBI, 10 runs, and no stolen bases. Walsh carries a healthy amount of power but is pretty limited otherwise, with little speed and a lackluster batting average. Additionally, fantasy managers should be cautious starting him against left-handers. This year, Walsh's OPS against southpaws is just .668, and in 2021, he batted .170 with a .565 OPS.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon and first baseman Jared Walsh are not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Texas Rangers. Walsh and outfielder Brandon Marsh are sitting for the second straight game against a left-handed pitcher. Jack Mayfield is at the hot corner and is hitting cleanup, while Matt Duffy is starting at first for the second straight day and batting fifth against Rangers southpaw Martin Perez. Although he has a homer and three RBI in his first eight games, Rendon is off to a slow start with just five hits in 27 at-bats. Walsh has sat against three of the four lefties the Angels have faced in the early going, so a true platoon is developing between him and Duffy at the cold corner.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh is having a solid spring, hitting .333 with one homer, four runs, and five RBI over 24 at-bats. Walsh had a breakout season in 2021, finishing with a .277 average, 29 homers, 70 runs, and 98 RBI over 144 games played. Walsh is much more productive against right-handed pitching so he could lose a few at-bats when there's a lefty on the mound but he remains a top-10 fantasy first baseman heading into 2022.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh had a successful day at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, and three RBI against the Seattle Mariners on Saturday. The game marked the second time in three days that he's collected three hits. Walsh has had a productive season, slashing .277/.340/.505 with 28 HRs, 95 RBI, and 69 runs across 143 games. The 28-year old has been exceptional as of late, hitting .330 with a .904 OPS in September. He's been a good fantasy option for most of the season and should be started in most leagues for the final day of the regular season.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh went 4-for-5 on Saturday with four RBI and a run scored during the 14-1 blowout against the Seattle Mariners. He had three singles and a two-run double in the fifth. It's his third four-hit game of the season and brings his slash line to .272/.337/.499. He's added 27 HRs, 90 RBI, and 65 runs over 137 games. After a 26 game stretch without a home run ending on August 28, Walsh has slashed .333/.400/.560 with four home runs in 23 games since. With him ending the year strong, fantasy managers should be starting him in every league.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh went 1-for-4 on Sunday with a run scored against the Oakland Athletics. The single helped the Angels score two runs to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth before ultimately losing in extras 3-2. After going cold in the middle of the year, he's looking to end strong and has posted a .951 OPS and .313 batting average with five home runs since August 22. Overall in 131 games this season, he owns a .271/.335/.504 slash line with 27 HRs, 85 RBI, and 62 runs. He has value in every format and fantasy managers should start him in every league during his hot streak.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh singled and struck out twice in four at-bats during Sunday's 3-1 loss at the hands of the Houston Astros. It was one of just four hits the Angels recorded on the day. Walsh has now hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games, slashing .390/.432/.732 with three home runs over that span. On the season, he's hitting .272, slugging .509, and has 26 HRs, 82 RBI, and 58 runs over 125 games. He's a good fantasy player in every format and should be a starter in most, supplying power without hurting the batting average.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh got on base twice during Monday's 4-0 loss to the Texas Rangers, singling twice in four at-bats. He was one of the few Angels hitters who mustered anything against the Rangers pitching, which allowed just five hits. The game extended Walsh's hitting streak to seven games, during which he's batting .423 with four extra-base hits. On the season, he's slashing .270/.331/.501 with 25 HRs, 80 RBI, and 56 runs over 120 games. He's a good first baseman to have in any format and should continue to produce the rest of the way.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh clobbered his 25th home run of the season on Tuesday in the 6-4 victory over the New York Yankees. He finished the day 1-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored. Walsh has now homered in three of his last six games after 26 straight games without going deep. His slash line is now sitting at .265/.328/.502 with 79 RBI and 56 runs across 116 games. Walsh looks to be getting back on track after posting a .507 OPS from early July to the end of August. It's good news for fantasy managers, and if he stays hot, he should once again be a starting first baseman in almost every league.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh didn't reach base during Thursday's defeat to the Baltimore Orioles, going 0-for-4 with a strikeout. The night continued his long-lasting cold streak, which started in early July. Over his last 30 games, he's slashing .216/.293/.315 with just three home runs. It's diminished his strong start to the year, as he's now hitting .263 with a .818 OPS and 23 HRs. Walsh should still be rostered in most leagues with his raw power and ability to get hot, but shouldn't start over someone putting up better numbers right now.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh was a big contributor to the Angels 13-10 comeback win on Thursday, going 3-for-4 with two singles and a double. He also added two walks, two RBI, and a run scored. He now has two extra-base hits in his last 22 games, neither of them home runs. Hopefully, this game can get him going, with his OPS sitting at .523 during that 22-game span. Overall, he's slashing .267/.329/.501 with 22 HRs and two stolen bases over 106 games. Walsh should still be rostered in almost every league, but depending on the matchup, is safe to sit for a hotter hitter.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh had a good night on Saturday, collecting a single, two walks, and an RBI against the Houston Astros. Walsh, who was activated from the injured list on August 11, has been a threat all season in the heart of the Angels lineup. He's slashed .266/.321/.507 with 22 HRs, 70 RBI, and 47 runs. However, his power has disappeared recently, with no home runs in his last 17 games. Walsh is still a good bat for fantasy managers, and his power should come back eventually.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh (side) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays, according to Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com. Walsh has been on the IL since July 28. It's good news for fantasy managers, as he's provided nice offense from first base, slashing .266/.320/.516 with 22 HRs, 67 RBI, and 47 runs. There has been no official announcement yet, and a corresponding move will need to be made.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh (side) could be activated on Tuesday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. If he is, it will likely be after the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays. Walsh landed on the IL on July 28 after experiencing a side injury two days prior. He's had a very good year in the heart of the Angels lineup, batting .266 while slugging .516 with 22 HRs. However, during his last 25 games before landing on the IL, he slashed just .200/.216/.360 with four home runs. Fantasy managers should stay tuned and hope that when Walsh returns from his injury, he also returns to form.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh (side) could return to the lineup as soon as Tuesday, according to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times. Manager Joe Maddon said that the team hopes to have Walsh back with the team sometime during their series with the Blue Jays, and it could be as soon as Tuesday's doubleheader. Walsh reportedly ran the bases and did other rehab drills on Sunday afternoon. He's had a solid sophomore season with the Angels in 2021, slashing .266/.320/.516 with 22 homers, 67 RBI and 47 runs scored over 97 games. Managers should keep an eye out for further updates, but expect him back within the next few days.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh (side) has yet to be activated from the 10-day injured list. Although there were rumblings that he would be ready to go for the weekend matchups against the Los Angeles Dodgers, skipper Joe Maddon couldn't provide an update on Saturday when asked. The 28-year-old was playing relatively well before going down with an intercostal strain at the end of July, so the lack of news is rather unfortunate. However, fantasy managers should remain optimistic that Walsh could be activated soon, possibly as early as Sunday for the series finale.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh (side) could return for this weekend's series versus the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to manager Joe Maddon. He's been doing drills on the field and could take batting practice on Friday. Walsh is on the 10-day IL and hasn't played in a game since July 26. When healthy, he's been a terrific contributor for the Angels, slashing .266/.320/.516 with 22 HRs, 67 RBI, and 47 runs across 97 games. It's a positive sign for fantasy managers who want Walsh to return as soon as possible.

The 27-year-old left Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies with side pain and was later diagnosed with a right intercostal strain. Phil Gosselin will continue filling in at first base and bat third in Walsh's absence. Gosselin is slashing .288/.351/.410 with three home runs and 20 RBI on 40 hits this season. Most of his success has come against left-handed pitching and he is set to face Colorado southpaw Lucas Gilbreath on Wednesday.
