Taylor Walls May Not Be Ready For Opening Day

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.

Osleivis Basabe Not In The Lineup On Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays rookie infielder Osleivis Basabe (shoulder) is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Basabe exited Friday's contest early after injuring his shoulder while diving for a ball at third base. Manager Kevin Cash told reporters after the game that the 23-year-old was sore and would need further evaluation. The former top prospect should be considered day-to-day as Taylor Walls takes his place in the lineup against Hyun Jin Ryu and the Blue Jays. The team should provide another update on Basabe prior to Sunday's regular-season finale.

Taylor Walls Back From Paternity List

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.

Tristan Gray Getting Called Up By The Rays

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Tristan Gray has had his contract selected from Triple-A Durham and is slated to make his MLB debut this weekend. Infielder Taylor Walls was placed on the paternity list so Gray will take his place on the roster. The 27-year-old prospect has some swing and miss to his game with a .234/.309/.482 batting line and 160 strikeouts over 127 games with the Durham Bulls this season. He does have 28 home runs, however, and bopped 33 last season at the same level. He likely won't be up for long and he doesn't hold much fantasy value as a result of that.

Taylor Walls Dealing With Groin Soreness

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.
