Taylor Walls Stats

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Taylor Walls is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Los Angeles Angels. It appears to be just a regular day of rest for Walls, who has been filling in as the team's regular shortstop with Wander Franco (hand, wrist) on the injured list. Usually an option off the bench, the 26-year-old is hitting just .180/.274/.294 with six home runs, 25 RBI, 40 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 323 at-bats on the season. Yu Chang will start at the 6 on Thursday and is hitting eighth against Angels left-hander Patrick Sandoval. Chang is a low-upside dart throw in DFS, as he's hitting .210 (26-for-124) with three home runs and 12 RBI this season.

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Taylor Walls (calf) is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Chicago White Sox. Walls fouled a ball off his calf earlier in the week, but he was reportedly available off the bench on Friday, so the injury doesn't appear to be very serious. The 25-year-old has been primarily playing shortstop for the Rays with Wander Franco on the injured list. Walls is hitting just .148/.252/.238 with two home runs, four RBI, 12 runs scored and five stolen bases in 122 at-bats. Vidal Brujan draws the start at the 6 on Saturday and is hitting sixth against White Sox right-hander Dylan Cease. Brujan is still searching for his first major league home run in just his 33rd MLB game. He's 9-for-64 (.141) with four RBI and a steal in 22 games this year.

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Taylor Walls was demoted to Triple-A Durham before Saturday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Walls made his major league debut on May 22 and slashed .212/.315/.327 with one home run and three stolen bases during his time with the club. The Rays called up right-hander Sean Poppen to take his spot on the roster. Walls has good minor league numbers, hitting .327 with a .490 slugging, and if he gets the call again this season, fantasy managers can take a flier on him if he has enough playing time. As of now, fantasy managers should feel safe to drop him.
