Astros Announce Christian Walker News After Dodgers Sweep
First baseman Christian Walker has been making headlines in his 11th major-league season, and now he’s making waves with the Houston Astros. The team announced the latest news on Walker after their recent sweep against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Originally drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the fourth round of the 2012 MLB Draft, Walker has had a rocky journey in the big leagues. After struggling to stick at the major-league level and being designated for assignment in 2017, he found a new home with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
But it wasn’t until the 2019 season that Walker truly made a name for himself. In his first full season as the Diamondbacks’ everyday first baseman, he proved to be a valuable asset with 29 home runs and 73 RBIs. He also earned three Gold Glove Awards for his impressive defensive skills.
However, this past offseason, Walker signed a lucrative three-year, $60 million contract with the Houston Astros. And while his overall numbers have dipped in 2025, he showed his potential in the recent series against the Dodgers, hitting two home runs and driving in six runs.
But now, the Astros will have to make do without Walker for a short time as he has been placed on the paternity list. In his place, outfielder Kennedy Corona has been called up to fill the roster spot.
Despite his struggles this season, the Astros are still thriving with a 55-35 record and a seven-game lead in the AL West. And if Walker can regain his Diamondbacks form, their lineup will only become more formidable.
