Impact With Houston having been officially eliminated from playoff contention following Saturday's action, Walker and other key regulars will get a breather for the season finale. Victor Caratini will step in at first base in place of Walker, who has hit .238 with 27 home runs, two stolen bases, 88 RBI and 72 runs over 154 games during his first campaign in Houston.

Two more homers in win Walker went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Angels.
Impact Walker's bat has sparked late in the season. He has gone 9-for-25 (.360) over his last six games while smacking four homers in that span, giving him 27 long balls on the year. He's added a .238/.297/.421 slash line with 88 RBI, 72 runs scored, two stolen bases and 24 doubles over 154 contests. His rate stats have been down across the board, but staying relatively healthy has kept his counting stats from dropping too far.

Slugs homer No. 25 Walker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Angels.
Impact The veteran first baseman took Kyle Hendricks deep in the fourth inning to open the scoring. Walker had a rough start to his first campaign in Houston, but since the beginning of July he's slashing .261/.316/.467, a performance in line with his last few years with Arizona. Friday's homer was Walker's 25th, a mark he's reached in four straight seasons, and he needs four more RBI in the final two games to reach 90 for the third time in his career.
