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.
