Opens scoring with grand slam Walton went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Marlins.

He's started in seven straight contests, earning a regular role in the middle infield while taking some playing time from Thairo Estrada and Brandon Crawford over the last week. Walton owns a .225/.244/.475 slash line with a homer, eight RBI, six runs scored and seven doubles in 41 plate appearances.

Walton's slam, Junis' solid outing lead Giants past Marlins
Donovan Walton hit a grand slam, Jakob Junis pitched six innings of one-run ball and the San Francisco Giants beat the Miami Marlins 5-1JUNE 5, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Knocks in three runs Walton went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Saturday's loss to the Marlins.
Impact Walton got the start at second base and came up with a big hit in the fourth inning, knocking a double to left field that plated three runs. The 28-year-old entered the contest with only one RBI across 32 at-bats, so this was his most productive game of the campaign. Walton has yet to go deep this season, but seven of his eight hits have gone for doubles.

Supplants Estrada on depth chart Walton will start at second base and bat seventh in Thursday's game against the Marlins, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact With right-hander Sandy Alcantara on the mound for Miami, the lefty-hitting Walton will get another start in the middle infield over the righty-hitting Thairo Estrada, who is on the bench for the fifth time in seven games. Walton, meanwhile, is picking up his seventh start in the past eight contests and appears to have moved into a large-side platoon role at second base. Since being called up from Triple-A Sacramento on May 25, Walton has gone 5-for-21 with four doubles, three runs and an RBI.

Retreats to bench Walton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Following his promotion from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Walton started in three straight games and went 3-for-10 with a pair of doubles and a run. Despite his quality work at the dish, Walton still looks like he'll serve as more of a utility man while he's up with the Giants, especially while Thairo Estrada continues to perform well as the team's primary second baseman.

Starting at shortstop Wednesday Walton was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento and is starting Wednesday's game against the Mets, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Recalled by Giants Walton was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.
Impact Walton was traded from the Mariners to the Giants on Wednesday, and he'll join the major-league club after Mauricio Dubon was dealt to Houston on Saturday. Over 24 games with the Mariners last year, Walton hit .206 with two homers, seven RBI, six runs and a stolen base. He should serve as a utility option in San Francisco.

Hoskins homers again, slam leads Phillies past Mariners 4-2
Rhys Hoskins homered for the third straight game and provided all of Philadelphia’s offense with the second grand slam of his career as the Phillies beat the Seattle Mariners 4-2MAY 11, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Shipped to San Fran The Giants acquired Walton from the Mariners on Wednesday in exchange for minor-league right-hander Prelander Berroa.
Impact In a related move, San Francisco designated first baseman Mike Ford for assignment to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Walton, who is expected to report to Triple-A Sacramento. The 27-year-old has seen big-league action in parts of the past three seasons with Seattle but may face a tougher path to seeing action for a Giants club that has ample depth in the infield and outfield. Walton should at least have the opportunity to play in an everyday basis while he's at Sacramento.

Optioned to Triple-A Tacoma Walton was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact Walton joined the major-league club in mid-April but appeared in just one game and didn't record any plate appearances. It isn't very surprising to see him sent to the minors as part of the team's roster cuts prior to Monday's deadline, and he should see more playing time in Tacoma.

The Seattle Mariners placed outfielder Mitch Haniger on the COVID-19 injured list after he reported symptoms and tested positiveAPRIL 16, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Joins active roster Walton was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.
Impact Walton will take the roster spot that had belonged to Mitch Haniger, who was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Saturday. Walton is unlikely to take much of Haniger's playing time and will presumably instead fill a utility role, as he's a career .196/.260/.315 hitter in 36 major-league games.

Sent to minors Walton was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact Walton's ability to fill in around the diamond helps his case for a bench spot, but he's a career .196/.260/.315 hitter in 36 MLB games. He'll remain in the minors for now but could fill a minor role when injuries open up a roster spot.
