Castro hits RBI double in 2-run 11th, Nats beat Rays 9-7
Starlin Castro hit an RBI double during a two-run 11th inning and the Washington Nationals beat the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays 9-7

Records three hits Sunday
Walls went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Rangers.
Impact
Walls have been enduring some expected struggles in his first taste of big-league pitching, but he seems to be trending in the right direction of late and has recorded at least one knock in four of his last five games. Plus, this was his first multi-hit game since his big-league debut May 22. The shortstop is hitting .262 with a .737 OPS on the season.

Rookie Walls sparks late surge as Rays beat Rangers 7-1
Rookie Taylor Walls had a tiebreaking, two-run double in the eighth inning among a season-high three hits, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Texas Rangers 7-1

Slows some after fast start
Walls, who went 1-for-3 with a walk in a loss to the Rangers on Friday, is hitting just .158 (3-for-19) with an RBI, five walks, seven strikeouts, a steal and two runs over his las...
Impact
The rookie has also struck out at a 29.7 percent clip during that sample, as he begins to encounter some of the expected struggles against big-league arms one would expect in even an elite prospect's first foray versus big-league arms. Nevertheless, Walls' outlook certainly remain bright, and his impressive .357 on-base percentage is largely a byproduct of an encouraging level of patience at the plate that's helped generate a 19.0 percent walk rate.

On bench Tuesday
Walls is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact
Joey Wendle steps in at shortstop for Walls, who finds himself on the bench for the second time in four games. The rookie has gotten off to a modest start to his big-league career, batting .200 with two extra-base hits (both doubles), five runs and two RBI through his first nine games.

Moves to bench Wednesday
Walls is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact
Walls will head to the bench for the first time since being promoted from Triple-A Durham on Saturday. Joey Wendle will check in at shortstop in place of Walls, who has gotten off to a 4-for-14 start to his big-league career.

Thriving early with opportunity
Walls drove in a run with a bases-loaded walk, drew another base on balls and scored two runs over six plate appearances in an extra-innings win over the Blue Jays on Monday. He's...
Impact
The rookie also struck out three times Monday, a reminder that he still has a ways to go before mastering big-league arms. Nevertheless, there's no question he's impressed early, lacing a pair of doubles and scoring three runs in the course of drawing three straight starts at shortstop.

Draws second straight start
Walls will start at shortstop and bat eighth Sunday against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact
Walls will be awarded a second straight start after he went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and a run scored in his MLB debut Saturday in the Rays' 3-1 win. With Willy Adames now in Milwaukee, the right-handed Walls should at least serve as a short-side platoon option at shortstop, and it wouldn't be surprising if the Rays gave him a look as a full-time player.

Law: Willy Adames wends his way to Wisconsin, with Taylor Walls recalled, but whither Wander Franco?
The biggest news of this trade was that the Rays didn't recall shortstop Wander Franco, the No. 1 prospect in baseball.

Batting eighth in MLB debut
Walls was called up as expected Saturday and will bat eighth and play shortstop in his major-league debut against the Blue Jays, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.
Impact
Walls isn't necessarily the Rays' shortstop of the future, as that would appear to be Wander Franco, but he's the one who will get the first crack at the job after the Rays dealt Willy Adames to the Brewers on Friday. Walls is a fine prospect in his own right, albeit not at Franco's level, with the potential to make a good amount of contact while playing strong defense. He's hit .279/.369/.417 with a strong combination of a 12.5 percent walk rate and 18.8 percent walk rate in 276 career minor-league games.

Primed for big-league debut
Walls will be called up from Triple-A Durham on Saturday after the Rays traded Willy Adames to the Brewers, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.
Impact
The 24-year-old should slot in as Tampa Bay's starting shortstop following the departure of Adames on Friday. Walls was off to a strong start at Triple-A this season with a .327/.468/.490 slash line in 14 games, but he may not have much of a window to secure the starting role with top prospect Wander Franco still waiting for his opportunity.

Headed to minor-league camp
The Rays optioned Walls to their minor-league camp Tuesday.
Impact
The switch-hitting infielder will likely report to the Rays' affiliate in Durham when the Triple-A East season gets underway in May. In his last minor-league season in 2019, Walls split time between High-A Charlotte and Double-A Montgomery, slashing .270/.343/.452 with 10 home runs and 28 stolen bases.
