Rays optioned INF Carson Williams to Triple-A Durham.

Jorge Mateo will take his roster spot. Williams has mostly been an up-down replacement rather than anything resembling a top prospect this year, hitting .108/.154/.216 in 40 plate appearances for the Rays and .226/.318/.329 for the Bulls.

Rays recalled INF Carson Williams from Triple-A Durham.

Williams spent time with the Rays back in May where he slashed an anemic .100/.156/.133 with zero homers, three RBI and an 11/2 K/BB ratio over his 33 plate appearances. He’ll add infield depth while Ben Williamson (hamstring) is shelved.

Ben Williamson was removed from Wednesday’s series finale against the Rockies with a hamstring injury.

Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters Williamson will undergo further evaluation and testing after suffering the injury in the ninth inning of the contest. The 25-year-old infielder was spotted on crutches in the locker room afterwards. Meanwhile, infielder Carson Williams was pulled from Triple-A Durham’s contest and appears headed back to the majors for Friday’s game against the Mariners.

Rays optioned INF Carson Williams to Triple-A Durham.

Williams filled in for Ben Williamson while Williamson dealt with a back issue that put him on the injured list. Williamson is back up, so Williams is back to Durham. Williams, who is hitting .100/.156/.133 in 33 plate appearances this year, has not exactly put up much of a fight to keep a roster spot in his limited chances this season.

Taylor Walls (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Orioles.

Walls was a late scratch from the lineup before Tuesday’s game against the Orioles, and he’ll miss one more game, at least. Carson Williams is the starting shortstop with Walls unable to go.

Ben Williamson is out of the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Orioles due to back tightness.

Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters they’re not sure whether Williamson will require a trip to the injured list. It sounds like a possibility, which is why former top prospect Carson Williams was brought up from Triple-A Durham over the weekend. There should be a decision on Williamson’s status at some point this week if his back doesn’t respond to treatment.

Rays recalled INF Carson Williams from Triple-A Durham.

Williams has struggled in his limited action with the Rays this season, hitting just .130 (3-for-23) with zero homers, three RBI and a 9/1 K/BB ratio. He’s unlikely to see enough playing time this time around to warrant consideration in mixed leagues.

The Rays are planning on putting Jake Fraley on the injured list with a hernia.

Fraley was scratched from Saturday’s lineup with an undisclosed injury. Jacob Melton is hurt in Triple-A, so Carson Williams might be the choice to replace Fraley on the Tampa Bay roster. Richie Palacios, who has been mostly starting at second base, could move to right field to replace Fraley, opening up infield starts for Williams and Ben Williamson.

Rays optioned SS Carson Williams to Triple-A Durham.

Taylor Walls (oblique) is back off the injured list, so the Rays will ship Williams back to Triple-A, where they had optioned him back in March. Williams was 3-for-23 in his seven games with a 9/1 K/BB ratio. There are some legitimate contact concerns here, which Williams will need to work on in the minors.

Carson Williams is not in the lineup for Saturday’s bout against the Twins.

Williams has scuffled with the bat to begin the year, and the 22-year-old will get a chance to see another game from the bench after also sitting out Wednesday. Ben Williamson will hit seventh and handle shortstop duties with Williams out.
