Athletics' Donovan Walton: Claimed by A's
The Athletics claimed Walton off waivers from the Angels on Sunday.
The 32-year-old was designated for assignment by the Angels on Wednesday but will end up back on a major-league roster. Walton played in 32 games for the Halos and was productive at the plate with three home runs and a .319/.352/.505 slash line in 97 plate appearances. He could push Jeff McNeil for playing time at second base while the Athletics contend with injuries to two of their everyday infielders in Nick Kurtz (thumb) and Zack Gelof (knee).

Angels' Donovan Walton: DFA'd by Angels
The Angels designated Walton for assignment Wednesday.
Walton will give up his spot on the 26-man active and 40-man roster despite slashing .319/.354/.505 in 32 games for the Halos. The 32-year-old could get scooped up on waivers by a team in need of infield depth.

Angels' Donovan Walton: Idle again Sunday
Walton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Though he'll be hitting the bench Sunday with a southpaw (Ranger Suarez) on the hill for the Red Sox, the left-handed-hitting Walton may be fading into more of a part-time role against right-handed pitching too. He started in just one of the Angels' last four matchups versus righties, with Oswald Peraza covering the keystone in each of the other three contests. Walton is still holding down a strong .836 OPS over 96 plate appearances on the season with the Angels, but he's gone just 3-for-16 with a 2:6 BB:K over his last seven games.

Angels' Donovan Walton: Taking seat Monday
Walton isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.
Walton will retreat to the bench for Monday's series opener after also getting the day off Sunday. This will give Oswald Peraza a second straight start at the keystone.

Angels' Donovan Walton: Sitting after three straight starts
Walton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Walton will hit the bench for the matinee game after he started at second base in each of the Angels' previous three tilts while going a collective 2-for-11 with a double and a 0:5 BB:K. Oswald Peraza will replace him at the keystone Sunday, but Walton may still be viewed as the Angels' preferred option at the position after posting an .847 OPS since being called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on May 22.

Angels' Donovan Walton: Taking seat Tuesday
Walton isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Taylor Blake Ward of TheSportingTribune.com reports.
Walton has gone 13-for-27 with three homers, 10 RBI and four runs scored across his last seven starts, but the Angels will keep him on the bench to begin Tuesday's game. Oswald Peraza will start at second base and bat sixth.

Angels' Donovan Walton: Clubs three-run homer
Walton went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 9-7 win over the Athletics.
The A's jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning, but Walton's blast in the second quickly put a dent in the advantage. He has gone 13-for-24 (.542) over his last eight games. Walton is a versatile defender, but he has seen most of his time lately at designated hitter in a strong-side platoon role. He's batting .343 with a .927 OPS, three homers, 11 RBI, 12 runs scored, six doubles and no stolen bases over 74 plate appearances this season.

Angels' Donovan Walton: Sitting again Thursday
Walton is not in the starting lineup Thursday night against the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Walton will remain on the bench for the second game in a row as the Angels face another southpaw. Gage Jump will be on the bump for the A's, and Oswald Peraza will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in the series opener.

Angels' Donovan Walton: On bench, but earning time vs. RHP
Walton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Though he'll be on the bench Wednesday while southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez draws the start for Arizona, the left-handed-hitting Walton might have earned himself a regular spot in the lineup against righties for the time being. Since being called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on May 22, the 32-year-old journeyman has produced a .340/.375/.491 slash line with six extra-base hits, eight runs and six RBI over 56 plate appearances versus right-handed pitching. He served as the Angels' designated hitter in each of the team's last four matchups with righties.

Angels' Donovan Walton: Homers again Monday
Walton went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to Arizona.
Walton gave the Angels an injection of hope with a solo homer with two outs in the ninth inning to narrow the team's deficit to one run, but the comeback attempt fell short. After beginning his season homerless over 17 contests, Walton has now gone deep in back-to-back games and is batting a robust .583 (7-for-12) with four RBI across his past four appearances. He was out of the starting lineup three straight games from June 9 to June 12, but Walton has started at DH in each of the Angels' subsequent three contests.

Angels' Donovan Walton: Swats first homer in loss
Walton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run before being pinch hit for in the eighth inning of Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay.
Walton drew the start at designated hitter and came through with his first homer of the season in a lefty-lefty matchup against Ian Seymour in the fifth inning. The infielder has received sporadic playing time, but he has generally been productive when called upon in a small sample size. Walton is hitting .296 with a .759 OPS, five extra-base hits, four RBI and nine runs scored across 58 plate appearances in 2026.

Angels' Donovan Walton: Three hits, two RBI in win
Walton went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 8-0 win over the Rays.
Walton looked to be picking up more playing time early in June, but he's since slipped back into a bench role. The versatile defender has made his last two starts at designated hitter as Denzer Guzman and Nick Madrigal have been seeing more action at third base. Walton is batting .294 with a .706 OPS, no home runs, four doubles, three RBI, eight runs scored and no stolen bases over 55 plate appearances in the majors this season.

Angels' Donovan Walton: Sitting Sunday
Walton is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Sunday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Walton will get a breather after going 0-for-6 with two strikeouts over the first two games of the series. Nick Madrigal will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game.

Angels' Donovan Walton: Idle against southpaw
Walton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
The left-handed hitter had started four of the previous five games but will head to the bench against southpaw Shane McClanahan. Nick Madrigal will check in for Walton at third base and bat ninth.

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.
