Astros' Walker Janek: Overcomes hamstring injury

Rotowire Jul 26, 2026

Janek (hamstring) has slashed .368/.400/.737 with two home runs, three stolen bases, four RBI and four runs in five games for Double-A Corpus Christi since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list July 16. Janek was on the shelf for about a month and a half due to the hamstring injury before being cleared to rejoin Corpus Christi coming out of the All-Star break. The 23-year-old backstop has produced a .183/.224/.323 slash line over 24 games at Double-A this season.

Astros' Walker Janek: Lands on Double-A injured list

Rotowire May 5, 2026

Double-A Corpus Christi placed Janek on its 7-day injured list Sunday due to an unspecified injury. Jimmy Price of AstrosFuture.com noted that Janek was pulled early from a game Friday after he came up limping while scoring from second base on a single, so the 23-year-old catcher could be nursing some sort of lower-body injury. Before landing on the shelf, Janek had gotten off to a rough start to the season at Corpus Christi, slashing .135/.179/.216 with one home run and four stolen bases while striking out at a 35.9 percent clip over 78 plate appearances.
