  • Angels' Jared Walsh: Will begin season on injured list

    Walsh (head) will begin the season on the injured list, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports. According to Angels manager Phil Nevin, Walsh is dealing with headaches and insomnia, and he's begun to see a specialist, Doug Padilla of the Los Angeles Times reports. There's no timetable for a return at this point, and while this could be a short stay on the shelf for the 29-year-old, Los Angeles certainly won't rush back a player dealing with head trouble.

  • Angels' Jared Walsh: Plays right field Saturday

    Walsh started in right field in Saturday's Cactus League contest versus Arizona and went 1-for-3 with a run scored. Walsh was almost exclusively a first baseman last season, though he did get put into left field in two games. However, he played right field in 18 games in 2021, so it's not a position he's entirely unfamiliar with. Walsh's dabbling in right field Saturday coincides with manager Phil Nevin's comment early in camp that he expects to see Walsh spend some time the outfield this season, though the 29-year-old is expected to be the Angels' primary first baseman for the upcoming campaign.

  • Angels' Jared Walsh: Feeling 100 percent

    Walsh said Saturday's that he feels 100 percent after recovering from September thoracic outlet surgery, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. Thoracic outlet syndrome can be one of the toughest injuries for players to come back from, so it will be important to see Walsh's words backed up by his performance on the field, but it's nonetheless an encouraging sign that he's feeling fine. The surgery adds risk to Walsh's profile this season, as does the fact that he struggled to a .215/.269/.374 line last year. If he's fully recovered and can resemble the player who hit .280/.338/.531 over the previous two seasons, however, it would be a big boost to the Angels' playoff hopes.

  • Angels' Jared Walsh: To get work in outfield

    Walsh (shoulder) will get some reps in the outfield this spring, Angels manager Phil Nevin told Sam Blum of The Athletic on Tuesday. Nevin expects Walsh to see playing time in the outfield during the season. The 29-year-old has a decent amount of outfield experience but didn't start any games out there in 2022. Walsh is coming back from thoracic outlet surgery but enters spring training without any limitations.

  • Angels' Jared Walsh: Nearing full recovery

    Walsh (shoulder) told MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM on Wednesday that he's nearing a full recovery from surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. Walsh went under the knife last September, soon after the TOS diagnosis officially put an end to his disappointing 2022 campaign. He could certainly be a bounce-back candidate if his health cooperates in 2023. "I feel great, but hopefully I can get even a little bit better," said the 29-year-old first baseman and corner outfielder.

  • Angels' Jared Walsh: Inks one-year deal

    Walsh (shoulder) and the Angels agreed on a one-year, $2.65 million contract Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. The 29-year-old was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome and underwent surgery in early September, but the condition isn't expected to impact his availability for 2023. Walsh produced a .215 average with 15 homers, 44 RBI, 41 runs and two stolen bases over 423 at-bats in 118 games last season.

  • Angels' Jared Walsh: Undergoes surgery

    Walsh recently underwent surgery to address his thoracic outlet syndrome, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports. Walsh was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome late last week, and his move to the 60-day injured list officially ended his season. The team's medical staff wasn't sure whether the 29-year-old would require surgery, but he ultimately underwent a procedure recently. However, Walsh expects to be ready to return in time for spring training in 2023.

  • Angels' Jared Walsh: Officially done for season

    The Angels transferred Walsh (thoracic outlet syndrome) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Thursday. Walsh wasn't even known to be nursing an injury until he suddenly appeared on the 10-day IL earlier Thursday, and now his season is officially over with the Angels moving him to the 60-day IL to clear room on the 40-man roster for waiver pickup Rob Zastryzny. After being diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, Walsh could need surgery to address the condition, though Angels athletic trainer Mike Frostad said a decision on that front has yet to be made. in any case, the first baseman won't make a full recovery in time to rejoin the Angels before season's end, so he'll conclude a disappointing 2022 campaign with a .215/.269/.374 slash line to go with 15 home runs and two stolen bases over 118 games. The Angels are likely to lean on the two players they called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday -- Mike Ford and Matt Thaiss -- to pick up most of the reps at first base the rest of the way.

  • Angels' Jared Walsh: Set for re-evaluation next week

    Angels head athletic trainer Mike Frostad said that Walsh, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday after being diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, will be re-evaluated next week, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. At this stage, Frostad said season-ending surgery could be a possibility for Walsh, who first informed the Angels' training staff earlier this week that he was dealing with a physical issue. Though Walsh was still able to play as recently as Wednesday, he'll now be shut down for at least the next week and a half following his diagnosis. Mike Ford was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, and he could end up serving as the primary replacement for Walsh as the Angels' everyday first baseman.

  • Angels' Jared Walsh: Out with thoracic outlet syndrome

    The Angels placed Walsh on the 10-day injured list Thursday after he was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome. Thoracic outlet syndrome is a nerve issue that typically presents shoulder and neck pain and one that typically affects pitchers, making Walsh's diagnosis somewhat of a rare case. The condition may at least partially explain why Walsh has noticed a massive dropoff in production at the plate since the beginning of July. After producing a .765 OPS in 74 games from Opening Day to the end of June, the 29-year-old has turned in a dismal .133/.207/.213 slash line while striking out at a 33.5 percent clip over the past two months. Walsh is without a timeline for a return, but given the nature of the condition and the Angels' status as a non-contending team, it wouldn't be surprising if he was shut down for the season. The Angels selected Mike Ford's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, and he'll replace Walsh at first base in the team's series finale with the Rays.

  • Angels' Jared Walsh: Hits solo homer

    Walsh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Tigers. Walsh's solo shot turned out to be the only run scored in Friday's contest. It was his 15th homer on the season and his first since Aug. 4. Walsh has struggled to a .164 batting average this month, going 9-for-55 with 21 strikeouts. The outfielder hit over .300 against righties across the past two seasons, but is batting only .225 against them this year. His season slash line is a lackluster .223/.273/.387.

  • Angels' Jared Walsh: Heads to bench Sunday

Since banging out three extra-base hits June 21 against the Royals, Walsh is slashing .160/.205/.232 while striking out at a 31.8 percent clip over a 35-game stretch.

  • Angels' Jared Walsh: Breaking out of slump

    Walsh went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run in a loss to Atlanta on Saturday. Walsh entered the All-Star break mired in a massive slump during which he batted .125 (8-for-64) with no extra-base hits and only one RBI over 18 contests. The time off appears to have reawakened his bat, as he's gone 4-for-8 with three doubles in his first two games of the second half. Walsh has also struck out four times during that span, however, and has an ugly 30.3 percent strikeout rate on the campaign.
