JARED WALSH NEWS

Begins taking swings Walsh (head) has been taking swings with the Angels' Triple-A affiliate in Salt Lake City, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Walsh went on the IL just before Opening Day due to bouts of headaches and insomnia, but he appears to be feeling well enough now to swing a bat. While manager Phil Nevin indicated Sunday that Walsh remains without a timetable for a return, it's at least a positive sign that the first baseman has been making progress. He's expected to reclaim a starting role whenever he's able to take the field again.

Officially moves to IL The Angels placed Walsh (head) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact As expected, Walsh will be sidelined to begin the season while he continues to experience headaches and insomnia. The Angels haven't provided an estimated timeline for his return, and Brandon Drury and Jake Lamb will likely serve as the primary options at first base while Walsh is on the shelf.

Will begin season on injured list Walsh (head) will begin the season on the injured list, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Walsh is dealing with headaches, and the Angels will take precaution and have the left-handed hitter open the season on the injured list. 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.
