The Angels signed Walton to a minor-league contract Dec. 12. Walton has put together a lowly .172/.223/.298 batting line across parts of six big-league seasons, though he's never gotten an extended look over that time. That's unlikely to change in 2026, but he will give the Angels some experienced depth and defensive versatility.

Donovan Walton: Breaking News
Sent outright to Triple-A
The Phillies outrighted Walton to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday. Walton passed through waivers after being removed from the Phillies' 40-man roster and will remain in the organization for the time being. The utility player has spent most of this season at the Triple-A level, slashing .270/.356/.396 with 13 home runs in 123 games.
Booted off 40-man roster
The Phillies designated Walton for assignment Wednesday. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for the return of Edmundo Sosa (groin). Walton played infrequently after being added to the roster earlier this month, logging a total of nine plate appearances.
