In Game 2 lineup Williamson (hamstring) will start at second base and bat sixth during the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Williamson was scratched from the lineup for Game 1 due to hamstring soreness but seems to be feeling well enough to play in the nightcap after a few extra hours of rest. The 25-year-old spent about six weeks on the injured list due to hamstring problems before returning Sunday. He went 0-for-3 in his first game back.

Scratched from Game 1 lineup Williamson was scratched from the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact The 25-year-old was penciled in at shortstop for Tuesday's matinee but will now begin the contest on the bench. It's unclear why Williamson was removed from the lineup, but it's worth noting that he was reinstated from the injured list Sunday after missing six weeks due to a hamstring strain. Jorge Mateo is instead starting at shortstop for Tampa Bay.
