Taylor Walls Stats

The Tampa Bay Rays released a statement on Monday regarding infielder Taylor Walls (hip). It reads: "Taylor Walls underwent a surgical procedure on his right hip to relieve discomfort from an impingement and repair a labral tear. He is expected to return to participating in baseball activities in February. His readiness for Opening Day will be determined later in the rehab process once baseball activity is resumed and an accurate timeline can be established." Walls played in both of the team's wild-card game this year, but he might not be ready to go when the 2024 season kicks off. The 27-year-old hit just .201 (61-for-303) with eight home runs, 36 RBI, 22 stolen bases and 50 runs scored in 99 games in his third MLB season in 2023. When healthy next year, he should return to his role as a utility infielder in Tampa.

The Tampa Bay Rays reinstated infielder Taylor Walls from the paternity list on Monday and optioned infield prospect Tristan Gray to Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move. The Rays also recalled left-hander Jalen Beeks from Durham and optioned right-hander Chris Devenski to Durham in a corresponding move. Walls will continue to provide the Rays with a middle-infield option with Wander Franco unlikely to play until 2024 due to off-the-field issues. The 27-year-old has gone just 6-for-33 (.182) in 11 games (nine starts) in September with a homer, five RBI, 11 strikeouts, two stolen bases and seven runs scored. In his third big-league season, Walls is hitting just .207 (57-for-275) with eight homers, 11 doubles, two triples, 32 RBI, a career-high 22 stolen bases and 49 runs scored in 90 games.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Taylor Walls (groin) has missed the past two games as he deals with groin soreness, according to the Tampa Bay Times. The 27-year-old was recently activated from the injured list after he suffered a left oblique strain and missed more than a month of action. Over 81 games this season, Walls owns a .216/.317/.360 slash line with seven homers, 44 runs, 28 RBI, and a career-high 21 stolen bases. Fantasy managers should consider the third-year player day-to-day, but he can be dropped in favor of a waiver wire add in most formats, despite his speed.
