Walker smacked five straight hits, including a homer, across the final two games of the Astros' home-stand versus the Blue Jays.

Christian Walker, hitting .159 with two RBIs in first 19 games, drops to fifth in the batting order with Jeremy Peña moving up to the cleanup spot.

Walker enters Friday’s series against the San Diego Padres hitting a measly .154 with two extra-base hits (a double and a home run) and two RBI across 75 plate appearances. That’s not exactly what the 8-10 Astros signed up for when they gave Walker, who turned 34 in March, a three-year, $60 million contract.
