Back in lineup Friday
Walker (back) is batting fourth and playing first base Friday against the Rays.
Analiz
Walker was removed from Wednesday's game against the Twins with lower-back stiffness, but Thursday's off day provided enough rest for the slugger. Walker is slashing .239/.310/.469 with 19 homers, 56 RBI, 45 runs scored and a 30:81 BB:K across 361 plate appearances this season. However, after a hot start to the campaign, Walker is batting .210 with a .702 OPS and 93 wRC+ since the beginning of May.

Dealing with stiff back
Walker was removed from Wednesday's game against the Twins with lower-back stiffness, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Analiz
Walker went 0-for-2 with a pair of strikeouts before being replaced by a pinch hitter in the sixth inning. He'll get an extra day to rest up before the Astros begin their next series Friday against the Rays, but if he's unable to play in the opener, Isaac Paredes would likely be next in line to start at first base, creating an opportunity at third for Brice Matthews.

Homers in win
Walker went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Tigers in 10 innings.
Analiz
Walker gave Houston some breathing room in the top of the 10th inning with his three-run blast off Kenley Jansen, his 19th homer of the year. In his last two games, Walker's gone 5-for-9 with three extra-base hits after going just 2-for-27 over his prior seven contests. The veteran first baseman is now slashing .240/.311/.476 with 56 RBI and 45 runs scored across 351 plate appearances this season.

Breaks out with four-hit day
Walker went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a run scored and an RBI in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Tigers.
Analiz
The first baseman paced the Astros as part of a 15-hit attack, with both two-baggers coming off former teammate Framber Valdez. It was Walker's first multi-hit performance since June 8, snapping a 15-game skid in which he'd gone just 8-for-58 (.138) with two homers and four RBI. On the season, he's slashing .240/.309/.470 with 18 home runs, 44 runs and 53 RBI in 83 contests.
