Walls is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

While moving between three positions (second base, third base and shortstop), Walls had started in six of the Rays' last seven games. He doesn't have a clear path to an everyday role at any one position, but Walls' versatility, slick glove, improved plate skills and ability to contribute as a baserunner should continue to allow him to pick up a handful of starts per week.

Walls went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Thursday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Walls opened the scoring with a solo home run off Vince Velasquez in the second inning of Thursday's game. It was his fifth long ball of the season, and second in his last three starts. Walls' defensive versatility has paid off early in the campaign, as he's been in the lineup in two-thirds of the team's last 21 games while playing a combination of second base, shortstop and third base. In addition to his power production, Walls has five stolen bases, 19 runs scored, 11 RBI and is hitting .290 across his first 80 plate appearances of the season.

Walls went 4-for five with a solo homer, two RBI, two runs scored and two steals during Sunday's 12-9 loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Walls did a little bit of everything Sunday and ended an 0-for-15 slump at the plate with his second multi-hit effort of the season. His big hit of the day came in the fourth after he and Luke Raley hit back-to-back jacks against Mike Clevinger to put Rays ahead 2-1. Walls would notch steals in the sixth and eighth innings and drove in his second run of the game on a base hit in the ninth. The 26-year-old has struggled to hit for average throughout his young MLB career but could be playing himself into a near everyday role with his hot start to the season. He's now slashing .302/.397/.571 with four homers, 10 RBI, 18 runs, five steals and a 9:14 BB:K over 73 plate appearances. It's multi-positional eligibility certainly makes him an intriguing play in most fantasy formats.

Walls went 0-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base Saturday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Walls was in the lineup for the fifth time in five games, a surprising trend given the return of Jose Siri. He's prioritized for his defense, and he has only two hits across his last 21 at-bats. Walls' primary contribution for fantasy purposes is his ability on the basepaths, and he has three stolen bases across his last nine games.

Walls went 4-for-5 with a triple, two home runs, four RBI and four runs scored in Tuesday's 10-0 victory over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Walls had a massive night Tuesday, homering from each side of the plate while coming a double shy of the cycle in the Rays' blowout victory. The switch-hitting utility infielder has played 10 games for Tampa Bay this season, slashing .351/.429/.730 with seven RBI and 15 runs scored through 37 at-bats. Walls' has gotten the majority of starts at second base against left-handed pitching, and his positional versatility should earn him a fairly regular role in a potent Rays' lineup.

Walls went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Saturday's 5-2 loss against Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Walls' homer broke up Yusei Kikuchi's shutout in the sixth inning. It was Walls' first homer of the 2023 campaign. The slick-fielding infielder should continue to see playing time against southpaws, but his lack of guaranteed playing time along with limited offensive upside don't appear to spell long- or short-term fantasy success.

Walls (elbow) will start at third base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walls hasn't played since last Friday due to tendinitis in his left (non-throwing) elbow, but he's ready to go now. The 26-year-old is hitting .333 over 18 at-bats through seven games this season.

Walls (elbow) told reporters that he is available off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox and could return to the starting lineup as soon as Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walls is dealing with tendinitis in his left elbow. The infielder will take a seat to start the game against the Red Sox, but has a good chance of contributing in some capacity before the week ends.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said Monday that Walls is dealing with tendinitis in his left elbow, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The good news for Walls is that the injury is to his non-throwing elbow, and he doesn't have any structural damage. The Rays are hopeful that Walls will be available to play in a day or two, though he doesn't look like he'll be an option for Monday's series opener versus Boston.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said prior to Sunday's game against the Athletics that Walls' non-throwing elbow has been giving him trouble since Friday, and he'll likely get imaging done Monday, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walls went 1-for-2 in Friday's win and hasn't played since. The Rays have Jonathan Aranda on the taxi squad in case they need to place the 26-year-old on the injured list. Until the results of the imaging are announced, Walls should be considered day-to-day.
