Jared Walsh News
Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh cleared outright waivers on Tuesday and has accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Salt Lake. Walsh was designated for assignment by the Halos at the end of last week, but the 30-year-old left-handed hitter will remain with the organization for now. Walsh was an All-Star just two years ago, but in 146 games since then, he's gone 99-for-490 (.202) with 16 home runs, 49 RBI, two steals and 46 runs scored in 532 plate appearances. He was battling migraine headaches earlier this year and was sent to the minors, where he's also struggled to the tune of a .231 average with four home runs, 13 RBI and a .394 on-base percentage in 23 games for Salt Lake. Walsh is merely trying to finish 2023 on a high note going into next season.
The Los Angeles Angels designated first baseman Jared Walsh for assignment on Thursday after the team acquired right-handers Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez from the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night. Walsh has fallen on hard times after being an All-Star for the Halos as recently as 2021. The 29-year-old left-handed slugger really disappointed last year before hitting .119/.244/.224 with one home run, four doubles, five RBI and five runs scored in 28 games this year before getting cut. Walsh also dealt with debilitating migraines this year and was hitting a meager .132 in 66 trips to the plate on the farm at Triple-A Salt Lake. If Walsh clears waivers, perhaps a change of scenery will do him well as he attempts to bounce back.
Los Angeles Angels infielder/outfielder Jared Walsh was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday. Walsh missed the beginning of the season while dealing with neurological symptoms, which he was getting treatment for, but has struggled mightily at the dish since his IL activation on May 20. He's slashing just .119/.244/.224 with one home run and five RBI over 67 at-bats on the season. Hopefully, he can get right down in Triple-A for himself and the Halos. David Fletcher has his contract selected in a corresponding move.

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.
