Taylor Walls shines in Rays' dominant victory
by Chris Schommer | Rays Correspondent | Sun, Sep 8th 9:06am EDT
Taylor Walls went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored, and a stolen base in the Rays' 7-1 triumph over the Orioles.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance, featuring his first home run of the season, offers a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers who've endured his underwhelming .178 batting average through 69 games. Despite the low average, Walls's ability to mix in some power with speed (13 stolen bases) might keep him relevant in deeper fantasy leagues, particularly those that value middle infielders who can contribute across multiple categories. His high strikeout rate remains a concern, but today's strikeout-free outing and his knack for drawing walks could hint at potential adjustments at the plate. Keep an eye on Walls if you're in need of stolen bases and runs, but temper expectations given his overall hitting struggles this season.
