Angels' Donovan Walton: Tallies three hits Thursday
Walton went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in a 7-1 victory versus Detroit on Thursday.
All three of Walton's hits were singles, but he came around to score following two of the knocks. The journeyman utility player started at third base for the fifth time in the Angels' past six games, so he appears to have earned a fairly firm hold on playing time in the absence of Yoan Moncada (knee). Walton entered Thursday having gone just 2-for-15 since his May 22 call-up, though, so he'd likely need to put together a period of consistent production before fantasy managers consider adding him.

Angels' Donovan Walton: Taking on regular playing time
Walton will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
The Angels will include Walton in the lineup for the fourth time in five games since he was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday. Though Nolan Schanuel's (ankle) move to the injured list Wednesday will open up an everyday role in the infield, Walton -- who has gone 1-for-12 with a 1:4 BB:K since his call-up -- may need to improve his production to hold off Nick Madrigal for playing time at third base.

Angels' Donovan Walton: Called up from Triple-A
The Angels selected Walton's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.
Both Walton and Wade Meckler are joining the Halos, with Yoan Moncada (knee) going to the 10-day injured list and Josh Lowe being sent down to Salt Lake. Walton turns 32 years old Monday and is a career .172/.223/.298 hitter with four home runs, 23 RBI and 21 runs scored across 214 big-league plate appearances. He's slashed .282/.429/.481 with seven long balls, 33 RBI, 33 runs scored, three stolen bases and a 32:21 BB:K across 168 trips to the plate at Triple-A this season. Walton is starting at third base and batting ninth Friday against the Rangers.

Angels' Donovan Walton: Listed in Halos' lineup Friday
Walton is starting at third base and batting ninth for the Angels in Friday's game against the Rangers, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Walton and Wade Meckler are both in Friday's lineup despite no official transactions being announced, though one expected move is for Yoan Moncada to go on the injured list due to a right knee injury, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Walton has spent the entire 2026 season with Triple-A Salt Lake, where he is slashing .282/.429/.481 with three steals, seven home runs and 33 RBI across 168 plate appearances. He could see some regular playing time at the hot corner for as long as Moncada is out of action.

Angels' Donovan Walton: Links up with Halos
The Angels signed Walton to a minor-league contract Dec. 12.
Walton has put together a lowly .172/.223/.298 batting line across parts of six big-league seasons, though he's never gotten an extended look over that time. That's unlikely to change in 2026, but he will give the Angels some depth and defensive versatility.

Phillies' Donovan Walton: Sent outright to Triple-A
The Phillies outrighted Walton to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.
Walton passed through waivers after being removed from the Phillies' 40-man roster and will remain in the organization for the time being. The utility player has spent most of this season at the Triple-A level, slashing .270/.356/.396 with 13 home runs in 123 games.

Phillies' Donovan Walton: Receives call-up
The Phillies selected Walton's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.
Walton will provide infield depth while the Phillies deal with the absences of Trea Turner (hamstring) and Alec Bohm (shoulder), both of whom were placed on the injured list Monday. The 31-year-old has slashed .270/.356/.396 with 13 home runs over 504 plate appearances at the Triple-A level this season.

Phillies' Donovan Walton: Traded to Phillies
The Phillies acquired Walton from the Mets on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations.
Walton has spent all of this season at Triple-A Syracuse, where he's slashed .222/.315/.377 with 11 home runs over 73 games. The 31-year-old can play every infield positions and also left field, giving the Phillies some experienced utility depth at Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Mets' Donovan Walton: Misses cut for Opening Day
Walton was informed Saturday that he will not make the Mets' Opening Day roster, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Walton's chances at landing a bench spot were looking up following Nick Madrigal's shoulder injury, but Walton will ultimately fall short of the big-league roster after going just 6-for-41 in the Grapefruit League. Luisangel Acuna now seems to be the most likely option to back up Francisco Lindor at shortstop in Queens.

Mets' Donovan Walton: Door open for bench job
Walton could make the Opening Day roster with Nick Madrigal (shoulder) set to begin the season on the 60-day IL, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
The Mets need a backup shortstop behind Francisco Lindor, and Walton is the best defensive option the team has in camp for the job. The 30-year-old has received 205 big-league plate appearances over five seasons split between the Mariners and Giants but managed just a .532 OPS, although his minor-league offensive numbers do offer some hope he could contribute with his bat as well -- Walton slashed .303/.377/.438 over 99 games for Triple-A Sacramento in 2024. The Mets would need to find room on the 40-man roster for Walton if they want to bring him north, and if Brett Baty proves in camp that he can play an adequate shortstop, he might get the first chance to fill the team's open bench spot.

Mets' Donovan Walton: Notches minor-league deal with Mets
Walton signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Friday that includes an invitation to spring training.
Walton spent the 2024 season with the Giants organization, going 3-for-22 with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored over nine games with San Francisco. He spent the majority of the year with Triple-A Sacramento, batting .303 with seven homers, 51 RBI, 53 runs scored and four stolen bases over 99 contests. The 30-year-old will look to impress with the Mets this spring in order to potentially secure a spot on the 40-man roster for the 2024 campaign.

Giants' Donovan Walton: Outrighted to Sacramento
Walton cleared waivers Friday and was sent outright to Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Walton appeared in nine games for the Giants in 2024, during which he went 3-for-22 with a home run and two RBI. Most of his time was spent in Sacramento, however, where he slashed .305/.377/.438 with 51 RBI across 387 plate appearances. The 30-year-old infielder appears likely to remain in the minors to start the 2025 campaign and continue serving as organizational depth.

Giants' Donovan Walton: Sitting again Tuesday
Walton isn't in the Giants' lineup for Tuesday's game against Arizona, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Walton will sit down for the fourth time in San Francisco's last five games after a stretch of starting four straight contests at second base. The Giants have relied on a committee of infielders to cover the keystone recently, and Tuesday's start will be given to Brett Wisely.

Giants' Donovan Walton: Sitting out Monday
Walton is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Diamondbacks.

Giants' Donovan Walton: Hitting bench Sunday
Walton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
Walton had started in five of the Giants' previous six games, but he'll give way to Brett Wisely at the keystone Sunday. Since being called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Sept. 13, Walton has gone 2-for-20 with two walks against seven strikeouts.

Giants' Donovan Walton: Picks up fourth straight start
Walton will start at second base and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Orioles, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Walton will pick up his fourth consecutive start at the keystone, including his third in a row against a right-handed starting pitcher. Since being called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Walton has gone 2-for-13 with a home run and two walks, but that modest level of production looks like it'll be enough for him to be the favored option at second base over Brett Wisely, who is batting .123 since the beginning of August.

Walton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

He's received an opportunity to play in the middle infield while Tyler Fitzgerald (back) has been sidelined. The 30-year-old Walton slashed an impressive .303/.377/.438 with seven home runs, 51 RBI, 53 runs scored and four stolen bases over 99 games as Triple-A Sacramento prior to his call-up.
