Walker went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 10-9 loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Walker hit the second of a back-to-back home runs in the ninth inning -- he followed Joc Pederson's three-run blast -- but they weren't enough to erase Arizona's five-run deficit. The home run was Walker's team-leading 11th to go along with a team-high 34 RBI. He's hit safely in eight of nine games, going 11-for-35 with six extra-base hits (three homers), four RBI and six runs scored.

Walker went 1-for-4 with a walk, one stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 6-5 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
The steal was Walker's first of the year, which is a bit of a surprise since he stole 11 bases last season. He was caught stealing on his first two attempts in 2024. The first baseman has struggled in May, going 8-for-38 (.211) over 11 contests this month. He's still slashing a decent .265/.377/.437 with seven home runs, 27 RBI, 29 runs scored and five doubles over 42 contests overall.

Walker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Walker got things started with a solo blast off Logan Gilbert in the second inning to knot the game up at 1-1. He later doubled in the fourth but was left stranded. The 33-year-old slugger has notched at least a hit in five straight games while homering twice and racking up five RBI over that span. For the year, he's slashing .271/.383/.439 with five homers, 18 RBI, 21 runs and an 18:31 BB:K in 128 plate appearances.

Walker went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 14-1 win over St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Walker kicked off the Diamondbacks' fun with a three-run blast in the third inning. It was the first of three Arizona homers, as later Kevin Newman (two-run shot) and Pavin Smith (grand slam) added to the rout. For Walker, it was his first home run since April 2, snapping an 18-game drought. With four homers in 25 games to start the 2024 season, Walker is behind the pace established the last two seasons when the first baseman launched 36 (2022) and 33 homers (2023); however, he had just four April home runs in each of those two previous seasons. It seems Walker's more productive months are ahead of him.

Walker went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
All three of Walker's hits went for singles, though he jumpstarted the Diamondbacks' five-run fifth inning with a leadoff base hit. Walker is seeing the baseball well early on, slashing .300/.417/.467 but has not recorded an extra-base hit since April 2 and currently owns a .167 ISO.
