A Christian Walker turnaround can change Astros' trade deadline priorities
HOUSTON — An answer to the Houston Astros' most apparent need is already in their clubhouse. He switched lockers some time last month, hoping to harness a sliver of luck amid an otherwise subpar season. Christian Walker went 8-for-42 across his next 12 games, negating whatever nirvana the superstition may have spurred. He averaged at least a 96.5 exit velocity during eight of those 12 contests, continuing a confluence of poor luck and putrid results. Advertisement 'Sometimes it can get really frustrating when you don't get your hits,' manager Joe Espada said. 'You see other players (get) end-of-the-bat knocks, and they get lucky on some of these balls. You as a hitter, you're like, 'Man, I'm doing everything I can to put the barrel on the ball and they're not falling for me.'' Few aspects of Walker's horrific start have been more frustrating. Stretches of three or four games have offered hope for a turnaround, only for the subsequent seven or eight to erase all momentum. For instance, he had a three-RBI game on May 11, only to follow it with a 5-for-47 funk. So, assign proper perspective to Walker's first four-RBI game as an Astro on Wednesday night. The beleaguered first baseman broke out of a brutal slump in a season full of them, spearheading a 10-2 shellacking of the Chicago White Sox with his first three-hit game since May 25. ALL-STAR SMASH.#VoteWalker ⭐️ — Houston Astros (@astros) June 12, 2025 Walker's performance raised his OPS to .653. He hasn't had a higher one since that aforementioned outburst on May 11. The anemia that followed is the story of Walker's season. Whether he can avoid it is the Astros' most pertinent question. Parlaying a performance like Wednesday into something more sustainable would crystallize the club's focus toward the July 31 trade deadline. A left-handed hitter and starting pitcher sit atop the Astros' wish list, but any prolonged success from Walker may alter their priorities. The development would lessen Houston's urgency to address a lineup still missing Yordan Alvarez, its most potent left-handed threat. Alvarez's return — whenever it arrives — already represents a pseudo-deadline acquisition, but pairing him with a well-performing Walker would be a permutation Houston hasn't yet seen this season. Advertisement 'The nature of the at-bats — taking good pitches, swinging at good pitches — I feel good,' Walker said. 'I'm happy with how competitive I feel in the box right now.' Walker still awoke Wednesday with a .623 OPS. Of the 17 qualified major-league hitters with a lower one, only Michael Harris III and Willy Adames had taken more plate appearances. Of the 27 players worth fewer wins above replacement, just Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez had played more than Walker. Like Perez, Walker has salary, service time and status as a respected veteran that afford an almost endless runway to correct whatever ails him. Houston's lack of other options only widens it. Walker will start at first base and slot somewhere in the middle of the Astros' order regardless of what the club does during the trade deadline. Espada slid Walker to the five-hole before the series opener against the White Sox on Tuesday. In 147 plate appearances as the cleanup hitter, Walker slugged .296. 'It's trusting the process and having the confidence that, at some point, this is going to turn,' Espada said. 'He knows this tide will turn for him.' Finding better fortune is a factor, but Walker still boasts his highest chase rate, whiff rate and strikeout rate of the past four seasons. He entered Monday with a .208 batting average and, according to Statcast, a .243 expected batting average. Forty-three of Walker's 74 strikeouts have come with a runner on base, problematic for an offense that has scored the sport's seventh-fewest runs. Whether a wholesale turnaround from Walker and full health from Alvarez will fix that is what general manager Dana Brown must ponder over the next seven weeks. Even if both of those circumstances come to pass, a left-handed bench bat or outfield platoon partner would be beneficial for an imbalanced roster. Either would profile as cheaper for an Astros team short on tradeable assets. Focusing the few they have on fortifying a pitching staff staggered by injuries is another byproduct of Walker's potential renaissance. Advertisement Gauging whether one is looming is difficult. Hammering a hanging slider for a two-run home run during Wednesday's first inning ignited the dugout, but it should be standard for someone of Walker's caliber. A more telling sequence came two frames later. Four-seam fastballs have flummoxed the first baseman all season, strange for a player who produced a run value of nine against the pitch last year, according to Baseball Savant. Walker entered Wednesday with a minus-1 run value against the pitch. His .203 batting average against them was 43 points lower than last season and 79 away from the career-best mark he established in 2023. Opponents are aware and attempting to seize advantage. During the third inning, White Sox starter Sean Burke believed he did. Walker waved through one of his elevated four-seamers to even the count at 1. 'It's something we're working on for sure, but it's hard to plan for that,' Walker said. 'You start looking at the top and you get your hanger and you miss it because you're looking for something else.' Drivin' in the runs. #VoteWalker ⭐️ — Houston Astros (@astros) June 12, 2025 Part of Walker's work to remedy the problem involves 'maybe daring guys to go up there,' reasoning that 'if they miss a spot two inches, three inches lower, now we're talking about a ball that can get hit 107, 108 (mph).' Burke did. The 1-1 four-seamer he threw grazed the top rail of Walker's strike zone. He struck it 106 mph into the left-center field gap. Two runs came home. 'It felt good to turn that around,' Walker said.

Twins trade reliever Alcala to Red Sox for minor leaguer
MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Twins dealt struggling reliever Jorge Alcala to the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday in exchange for minor leaguer Andy Lugo. The 29-year-old Alcala (0-2) has an 8.88 ERA in 22 appearances for the Twins this year. His final outing with Minnesota came Tuesday when he gave up five runs — four earned — in a 16-4 loss to Texas.

Red Sox takeaways: Marcelo Mayer homers twice, Walker Buehler strong in series win
BOSTON — On the strength of four solo homers, including two from rookie third baseman Marcelo Mayer, along with a strong effort from starter Walker Buehler, the Boston Red Sox won their second series in a row against an American League East rival. Jarren Duran's leadoff shot, Mayer's two homers and a go-ahead solo slam over the Green Monster from Abraham Toro in the fifth helped the Red Sox to a 4-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Advertisement Some takeaways from a successful series win ahead of an off day Thursday: Mayer hasn't even been in the majors for a month, but the 22-year-old has already hit three homers and is finding his groove. After Duran's leadoff homer, the Rays tied the score in the top of the second, but Mayer put Boston back in the lead in the bottom of the inning with his first homer at Fenway Park. He took a first-pitch slider 418 feet to right field with an exit velocity of 108.7 mph. 418 ft for Mayer! 😤 — Red Sox (@RedSox) June 11, 2025 Two innings later, he made it a 3-1 game, smoking a 1-1 splitter 410 feet to right, off the bat at 104.9 mph. 'They felt really good,' Mayer said. 'To get the first one at home was special. Then, obviously, to get the second one, anytime you could help the team out offensively means a lot.' Mayer hit his first homer over the weekend on the road against the New York Yankees. He's hitting .250 with an .836 OPS with three homers and three doubles in 15 games. 'The process always stays the same,' he said. 'I feel more comfortable every single day I'm here. Obviously, a little bit of adjustments on me that have helped me be more on time.' For the first time since late April, the Red Sox got five consecutive starts of five innings or more from their rotation. Garrett Crochet started the trend with six innings on Saturday, and Hunter Dobbins followed with five innings Sunday. Brayan Bello threw 6 1/3 innings Monday, Lucas Giolito followed with six innings Tuesday, and Buehler capped the turn through the rotation with seven innings Wednesday. It's little surprise the team went 4-1 in that stretch. Buehler allowed three runs on six hits and a walk, striking out seven for the win. He had given up 10 earned runs in his previous two starts, lasting just two innings in New York last weekend. He said he went back to the basics to find his rhythm again on the mound and also fed off the other starters in the rotation. Buehler holding it down through 7. — Red Sox (@RedSox) June 12, 2025 'I think the goal is all five guys push each other to do better and punch more and throw more innings,' he said. 'Right now, obviously, it's kind of being led by Garrett, and Dobby is throwing well. But for Gio and I to kind of bounce back, I think it's huge. And it's something that he and I are in very similar boats. This just happens to be my second year doing it. But we're both trying to figure it out and to try and reinvent who we were and take the good stuff that we still can do and find the new stuff. For us to do it kind of back to back against the team in our division, I think it's huge. And it's something I'm excited about.' Advertisement The Red Sox have not been good defensively this season, leading the majors with 61 errors. Before the game, Cora referenced some of the underlying metrics with better defense this year from Carlos Narváez behind the plate, Alex Bregman at third base and now Mayer and Ceddanne Rafaela in center. But he acknowledged the errors can't keep happening. 'At the end, you get 27 outs; you've got to make them,' he said. 'When you give the opposition more than 27, you're going to struggle, and we have struggled.' Wednesday, the Red Sox played one of their cleaner games of the season. Shortstop Trevor Story made a terrific jump throw on a ball deep in the third-base hole to open the sixth inning. MAKE A PLAY STORY! 😤 — Red Sox (@RedSox) June 12, 2025 'His defense is taking another step,' Cora said. 'He seems like he feels very comfortable in where he's at, and that's the guy we envision the last few years kind of like to slow down things with the defense.' Narváez continued to impress behind the plate, throwing out two runners. In the fifth, after a leadoff single to Taylor Walls, Narváez made an on-target throw to second to get the runner. In a tighter spot in the eighth, he also came through. Justin Wilson allowed a one-out single and hit a batter, allowing pinch runner José Caballero to move to second. Cora turned to Greg Weissert, who kept a speedy Caballero close to the bag, stalling his momentum so that when he took off for third, Narváez had plenty of time to throw him out in an inning that could have unraveled. Weissert walked a batter, then allowed a single before a big strikeout of Matt Thaiss. '(Weissert) was very patient with Caballero,' Cora said. 'We knew he was going to take off. He's really good at what he does. Weissert stepped off, and then he was patient enough for him not to gain momentum. And the throw was right on.' Advertisement Toro has quietly put together a solid season over the past six weeks since being added to the roster when Triston Casas went down. Not only has Toro played the corner positions well, but as a switch hitter, he has offered lineup flexibility for Cora. Wednesday, he smashed Boston's fourth solo homer in the fifth inning. It proved the deciding run in a close game. Toro said "MY TURN!" 🐂 — Red Sox (@RedSox) June 12, 2025 Toro is hitting .330 with a .928 OPS, eight doubles and five homers in 27 games. 'Huge — if you look at the numbers, the production, the versatility — not only defensively but offensively,' Cora said of Toro's importance. 'From both sides, we can hit him where he's at now, third, knowing that they might bring some lefties for Jarren and Raffy (Rafael Devers), and he can hit lefties, too. The right-handed at-bat is great. Hitting the ball very hard. A very humble kid. He's a good guy; he's been in this situation before with Houston and Seattle. He's a good player, and he showed it in spring training, did everything we asked him to do. He went to Triple A — wasn't upset about it. Stuff happened, and now he's here. He's doing an outstanding job.' After Thursday's off day, the Red Sox host the Yankees over the weekend for the first time at Fenway this season. The Red Sox will have Crochet, Dobbins and Bello on the mound. 'It's going to be fun,' Mayer said of his first home series against the Yankees. 'I know this place is going to be rocking. I know we're ready for it. We're going to go out there and play really hard and see what happens.' Despite having just played New York last weekend, Cora said the series versus the Yankees is always a challenge, but it's one they're familiar with. 'It really doesn't matter,' he said. 'We've been doing this forever. We don't play them for two months, then we play them six times in 10 days. We know them; they know us. It's always a challenge because it's a long weekend.' Advertisement New York won its first two games against the Kansas City Royals this week, with one more on tap Thursday. Despite winning the series last weekend, the Red Sox still have their work cut out for them, starting Friday. 'Where we're at in the year, there's plenty of time for us to make a run,' Buehler said. 'And it starts with winning series against teams in our division. And to do that back to back (this week), I think, is huge. We don't know when Bregman is going to be back exactly, but that's not going to hurt us in any way. We got these young kids up that are going to learn and get better, and we feel good about ourselves.' (Photo of Marcelo Mayer: Brian Fluharty / Getty Images)
