AUGUST 7 • SI.COM

Placed on 10-day injured list The Rays placed Williamson on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Thursday, due to a right hamstring strain.

Impact Williamson tweaked his hamstring during Wednesday's game against the Rockies, and the injury is severe enough for him to require a stint on the injured list. A minimum stint on the IL would have Williamson on track to return mid-August, but hamstring strains typically take a longer time to recover from. Carson Williams was recalled from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move to bolster the Rays' infield depth in Williamson's absence.

Drawing fourth straight start Williamson will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Williamson will stick in the starting nine for a fourth straight game while top shortstop Taylor Walls (fingers) is on the bench for another contest. If his hyperextended fingers don't force him to the injured list, Walls will eventually settle back in as the Rays' everyday shortstop, which will push Williamson back into the short side of a platoon at second base with Richie Palacios.

Sitting after four-hit game Williamson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Toronto, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Richie Palacios will check back in at second base Wednesday while Williamson retreats to the bench following a big performance in Tuesday's 12-2 win. Williamson delivered his second fourth-hit game in his last five starts, bringing his batting average up to .257 on the campaign.
