Justin Upton hit a grand slam and Jared Walsh homered and drove in three runs in the Los Angeles Angels’ 10-3 victory over the Minnesota TwinsAPRIL 17, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Drives in three runs Walsh went 2-for-4 with a homer and three RBI in Friday's 10-3 win over the Twins.
Impact Walsh started the game's scoring with a two-run single in the fourth inning before giving the Angels a 10-3 lead with his solo shot in the seventh. The 27-year-old slugger is slashing an impressive .341/.426/.707 with four home runs and 13 RBI through 47 plate appearances.

Pérez delivers with bat to finish big series, KC tops Angels
Salvador Pérez homered and doubled to cap off an impressive series, leading Brad Keller and the Kansas City Royals over the Los Angeles Angels 6-1APRIL 14, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Getting more outfield work Walsh will start in right field and bat cleanup Wednesday against the Royals.
Impact With Juan Lagares (calf) recently joining Dexter Fowler (knee) on the injured list and with Justin Upton (back) considered day-to-day, the Angels are running thin on options in the corner outfield. Walsh has been able to pick up more work in right field as a result, as he'll be making his third straight start at the position Wednesday. With four outfield starts in total already under his belt this season, Walsh looks like he could soon gain eligibility at the position in certain fantasy leagues.

Takes seat Saturday Walsh isn't starting Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.
Impact Walsh went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs and a walk in Friday's win over Toronto, but he'll take a seat against left-hander Steven Matz on Saturday. Albert Pujols will start at first base Saturday, batting fifth.

Goes yard in win Walsh went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk, and two total runs scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the Blue Jays.
Impact Walsh got aboard with an infield single in the second inning and scored on an error. He added his long ball in the fifth inning to complete the Angels' scoring Friday. Walsh is up to three homers, nine RBI, six runs scored and a .375/.464/.833 slash line across 27 plate appearances. He appears to be working toward an everyday role in the lineup, whether he plays at first base or in right field. The latter could be a short-term path to at-bats after Dexter Fowler left Friday's game with a minor knee injury.

Gets look in right field Walsh will start in right field and bat fifth Tuesday against the Astros, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact Just as manager Joe Maddon recently hinted might be the case, Walsh will pick up work in the corner outfield for the first time this season as the Angels attempt to find ways to keep his hot bat in the lineup. Though Walsh previously played 16 innings in right field in 2020, he doesn't profile as an ideal defender at the position, so he'll likely need to continue mashing in order for the Angels to justify running him out there on a regular basis. Through his first three starts of the season, Walsh has gone 5-for-13 with two home runs, a triple, a walk, seven RBI and four runs.

Launches walkoff in two-homer game Walsh went 2-for-4 with a pair of homers, a walk and four RBI in Sunday's win over the White Sox.
Impact Walsh sat in favor of Albert Pujols in the first two games of the season, but a few more games like this should convince manager Joe Maddon to write his name in the lineup as often as possible. Walsh gave his team the lead with a solo shot off Codi Heuer in the fifth inning. After the White Sox tied the score in the top of the ninth, Walsh sent Angels fans home happy, hitting a walkoff three-run shot off Matt Foster.

Collects two hits in first start Walsh went 2-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's win over the White Sox.
Impact Walsh was widely expected to get the majority of time at first base for the Angels this season, but Albert Pujols was penciled into the lineup for the first two games of the campaign. There's still a decent chance that Walsh ends up with more playing time between the two, especially if he continues to perform as he did Saturday. The 27-year-old drove in a run in the third inning on an infield single and later tripled in another run in the eighth.

First start coming Saturday Walsh, who is not in Friday's lineup against the White Sox, will start Saturday against righty Lance Lynn, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact Walsh rode the pine Thursday, even with righty Lucas Giolito on the hill for Chicago, and will sit again Friday with southpaw Dallas Keuchel starting. It's nice to know he'll be starting Saturday, but it's still a little concerning that manager Joe Maddon doesn't necessarily view him as a near-everyday player in the early going.
