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.

Impact Williamson put the Rays on the board with an RBI double in the second inning, and he proceeded to reach base safely in each of his next three plate appearances to set a career high in hits.

Filling in for Walls on Sunday Williamson will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Angels.

Impact Williamson will draw his fifth start in six games, this time filling in for a resting Taylor Walls at shortstop. Each of Williamson's previous four starts came against left-handed pitching, and he still appears to be occupying the short side of a platoon with Richie Palacios at second base.

Receiving nod at keystone Wednesday Williamson will start at second base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Impact Williamson suffered an injury scare back on May 29, when he was hit on the left hand by a pitch and needed to be removed from a game against the Angels. After X-rays returned negative, Williamson was back in the lineup a day later, and he's now drawn eight starts out of the middle infield in the Rays' last 12 games. Four of those starts have come against left-handed pitchers, and two of the starts against righties came while Taylor Walls was out of the lineup due to a hamstring injury, so the Rays may still be viewing Williamson largely as a short-side platoon player.

X-rays negative X-rays on Williamson's left hand came back negative following his removal from Friday's game against the Angels, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Williamson took a 98.6-mph sinker off his left hand in the sixth inning of Friday's contest, but he seemingly escaped the incident without any severe damage. Manager Kevin Cash added that the 25-year-old could play Saturday, though the Rays may err on the side of caution and give him a day off to recover.
