Taylor Walls went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 4-3 loss against the Los Angeles Angels.
Fantasy Impact
Walls has showcased his speed on the basepaths lately, recording a stolen base in four straight starts. While he has struggled to make an impact with the bat, posting a .263 slugging percentage in June, he owns a solid .348 OBP during that span. He's worth considering in deeper leagues as a short-term option, as his ability to steal bags provides value in the right fantasy formats.

Taylor Walls went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and one stolen base in Monday's 3-1 win over the Boston Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact

Taylor Walls went 0-for-2 with a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's 4-1 loss against the Miami Marlins.
Fantasy Impact
Walls reached base on a forceout in the third inning and took advantage by stealing second base before coming around to score on a Yandy Diaz single. He owns a .207/.311/.279 slash line with seven stolen bases across 47 games this season. Despite receiving regular playing time, Walls remains best left on waivers.
Rays manager Kevin Cash said Taylor Walls is available off the bench on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Cash added that they’d like to rest Walls going into weekend so he’s “freshened up” for their series at Miami. He has been dealing with left hamstring tightness.
