Fantasy Impact:

With Ha-Seong Kim (back) on the injured list, the Rays are calling up Carson Williams, the team's No. 1 prospect and No. 24 overall in baseball, to be their everyday shortstop. In 111 games with Triple-A Durham, he has posted a .213/.318/.447 slash line with 23 home runs and 22 stolen bases. While his strikeout rate is high at 34.1%, his power and speed make him an intriguing fantasy option.
