Jared Walsh News
The Los Angeles Angels moved infielder Jared Walsh (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list on Thursday, which will officially end his 2022 season after he was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome. In a corresponding move, the Angels claimed left-hander Rob Zastryzny off waivers from the New York Mets. He has been optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake. It's unknown if Walsh will need surgery for an issue that pitchers typically deal with. The 29-year-old was disappointing this year for the Angels, hitting just .215/.269/.374 with 15 home runs, 44 RBI, 41 runs scored and two stolen bases in 423 at-bats. Mike Ford got the start at first base on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays, but he figures to split playing time with Matt Thaiss with Walsh on the shelf.
The Los Angeles Angels placed first baseman/outfielder Jared Walsh (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list with thoracic outlet syndrome on Thursday and selected the contract of infielder Mike Ford from the minors in a corresponding move. The Angels also recalled catcher Matt Thaiss from Triple-A Salt Lake and designated infielder Phil Gosselin for assignment. Thoracic outlet syndrome is very tricky to return from and typically occurs much more in pitchers, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect Walsh to return again in 2022. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter has batted .215/.269/.374 with 15 home runs, 44 RBI, 41 runs scored and two stolen bases in 423 at-bats for the Angels this year. Ford is at first base and is batting cleanup on Thursday against Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen.
Los Angeles first baseman Jared Walsh is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He will take a seat after hitting 0.59 (1-for-17) over his last five games. The 28-year-old has struggled in July, slashing 0.75/.119/.075 with an RBI in 12 games. Overall, Walsh is slashing .236/.280/.412 with 13 home runs, 41 RBI, 33 runs, and a stolen base over 86 games in 2022. David MacKinnon will handle first base duties and is batting seventh on Saturday. Mackinnon can be used as a streamer in deep-league formats after collecting a hit in three straight contests.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh owned a .646 slugging percentage in 2020 and kept his power production going in 2021 by slashing .277/.340/.509 with 29 home runs and 98 RBI over 144 games. He played in his first full-length season as the Angels' everyday first baseman and could have added eligibility in some leagues by logging 18 games in the outfield. He posted a solid .347 WOBA but saw his strikeout percentage increase from 13.9% in 2020 to 26% last season, which is more in line with his career 24.1 K% in the minors. The 28-year-old contributes in all counting stats except for steals. Steamer is projecting Walsh with a .347 WOBA, a .260/.333/.490 slash line, 33 long balls, and three stolen bases in 2022. He is expected to hit third for a solid Angels lineup, including superstar Mike Trout, former All-Star Anthony Rendon, and 2021 American League MVP Shohei Ohtani. Walsh's low walk rate (8.2%) dings him a little in points leagues, but he is a robust first base option in standard 5x5 formats. According to RotoBaller's Expected Draft Values, the Angels slugger's Steamer projection makes him roughly fair value at his current NFBC ADP of 112.
