WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — New Houston Astros first baseman Christian Walker has soreness in his left oblique that led to him being scratched from the lineup for a spring training game Wednesday. Walker missed more than a month last season with Arizona because of a strained left oblique muscle. He also was on the injured list twice in 2021 with right oblique issues. He joined the Astros on a $60 million, three-year contract during the offseason. Walker was 4 for 8 with three doubles in his first four spring training games with Houston.
