Gives up five runs in no-decision Walter did not factor into Thursday's decision against the Rockies, allowing five runs on eight hits while striking out three across five innings. He did not issue a walk.
Impact Walter entered Thursday's game with three quality starts over his last four outings, but he wasn't able to replicate that success in Colorado. He generated 13 whiffs on 91 pitches (62 strikes) but gave up at least one run in three of the five innings he pitched and avoided the loss only thanks to the run support he received from the Astros hitters. Walter is now at a 4.15 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 36:2 K:BB over 34.2 innings this season, and he's lined up to face the Guardians at home next week.

Bounces back with first win Walter (1-1) allowed a run on five hits and struck out five without walking a batter over six innings to earn the win over the Cubs on Friday.
Impact Walter limited the damage to a solo home run by Nico Hoerner in the fifth inning. This was his third quality start in five outings this season, and it was a good bounce-back effort after he was tagged for seven runs over six innings by the Angels last Saturday. Walter is now at a 3.34 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 30:2 K:BB over 29.2 innings. Lance McCullers (foot) will return Saturday, and it's unclear if Walter will stay in the rotation, but he's pitched better than Ryan Gusto if the decision comes down purely to numbers. Walter would be lined up for a road start in Colorado next week if he keeps his place in the rotation.

Hit hard by Angels Walter (0-1) allowed seven runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Angels.
Impact Walter had been excellent with a pair of quality starts in his last two outings, but he didn't have the same success Saturday. He threw 66 of 99 pitches for strikes, but he gave up a pair of two-run home runs that accounted for a large chunk of the damage on his line. Even with the poor outing, Walter has a 3.80 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 25:2 K:BB over 23.2 innings through four starts. The 28-year-old showed impressive control with a 49:7 K:BB over 47.2 innings with Triple-A Sugar Land after missing all of 2024 due to a shoulder injury. Walter is tentatively projected for a tough home start versus the Cubs in his next outing, and his place in the rotation is likely safe for as long as both of Lance McCullers (foot) and Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) are on the injured list.

Dazzles in no-decision Walter didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Twins, allowing one run on six hits and no walks with nine strikeouts over 6.2 innings.
Impact Walter is temporarily serving as the sixth man in a six-person rotation for the short-handed Astros, but the 28-year-old has performed more like an ace in limited action this season. Sunday's outing was his third MLB start of the campaign, and his second time allowing no runs. His nine strikeouts marked a career high and bumped his K:BB to 19:1 across 17.2 innings. While he likely won't retain a spot in the big-league rotation once the Astros get healthier, he could stick around for one or two more trips through the rotation. He'd be in line to start during a three-game set against the Angels next weekend.

Rookie Cam Smith hits walkoff single to give Astros a thrilling 3-2 win over Twins

Rookie Cam Smith hit a tiebreaking RBI single off closer Jhoan Duran with two outs in the ninth inning to give the Houston Astros a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday

Remains in rotation Walter is slated to start Sunday's game against the Twins in Houston, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact As expected, Walter will receive a second straight turn through Houston's six-man rotation while the Astros remain short on healthy arms with six starting pitchers currently residing on the injured list. Luis Garcia (elbow) and Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) appear to be the closest of the injured hurlers to returning, but with neither having resumed facing hitters yet, Walter should enjoy an extended run in the rotation. He's pitched well in both of his two starts with Houston this season, striking out five over five shutout innings May 20 at Tampa Bay and recording another five strikeouts over six innings of two-run ball this past Sunday in Cleveland. The 28-year-old southpaw has enjoyed a similar level of success at Triple-A Sugar Land, where he compiled a 2.08 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 49:7 K:BB in 47.2 innings prior to getting called up last week.

Earns quality start in no-decision Walter allowed two runs on six hits while striking out five across six innings, but he did not factor into Sunday's decision against the Guardians. He did not issue a walk.
Impact Walter was promoted from Triple-A Sugar Land to make his second major-league start of the season. He put the Astros behind after yielding a two-run homer to Bo Naylor in the second, but Walter kept the Guardians off the board the rest of the way and retired the last 10 batters he faced. Per Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle, the Astros plan on using a six-man rotation during their stretch of 13 straight games, which puts Walter in line to make his next start against the Twins at home next weekend.
