Walls Out, Madrigal In for Rays | Tampa Bay Rays News

Tampa Bay Rays take another hit as shortstop Taylor Walls goes on the injured list with a hip flexor strain, potentially returning next week. Though his bat hasn’t been elite, his speed and elite defense—earning him a Gold Glove nod last year—make him irreplaceable. With pitching woes adding to the roster crunch, the Rays call up Nick Madrigal to bolster defense at second base, while Jorge Mateo may step in at shortstop. The team’s resilience is being tested—but they’re hoping Madrigal can provide stability until Walls heals. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
