View More NewsTaylor Walls (hernia) has 2026 option exercised, 2027 option added
The Tampa Bay Rays exercised their $2.45 million club option for Taylor Walls (sports hernia) for the 2026 season on Thursday. The team also added a new $3.1 million club option for the 2027 season, which would cover his remaining arbitration years. Walls is currently recovering from sports hernia surgery.
Fantasy Impact
Walls, who is a career .195/.286/.298 hitter over parts of five major-league seasons, is regarded as a plus defender. He is expected to be ready for spring training, where he could compete with Carson Williams for the starting shortstop job or settle into a utility infielder role.
