Jorge Mateo is starting at shortstop and batting eighth for the Rays on Wednesday against the Tigers.

Since coming to Tampa Bay, Mateo has played exclusively against left-handed pitching, but he will get a start against a righty here. Mateo is just 3-for-17 in his seven games with the Rays and is unlikely to push Taylor Walls for the starting shortstop job.

Taylor Walls went 2-for-4 with two homers and three RBI in the Rays’ 12-4 win over the Athletics on Tuesday.

Walls enjoyed an excellent day at the plate, starting with a two-run homer off Mason Barnett in the fourth inning. He then went yard again for a solo blast in the sixth. It’s an incredibly rare occurrence, as the two home runs were the first two of the season for the 30-year-old infielder. Walls is hitting .216/.305/.300 with 46 runs scored, 28 RBI, and 18 steals across 336 plate appearances.

Walls was a late scratch from Saturday’s lineup due to lower back tightness, but he’s feeling much improved after an off day. The 30-year-old is back in there at shortstop and batting ninth against Mariners’ right-hander Emerson Hancock on Sunday afternoon in Seattle.

Taylor Walls (finger) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Rangers.

Walls is back in Tampa Bay’s lineup at shortstop and hitting eighth following an extended four-game absence after hyperextending a couple fingers on his left hand last week. The 30-year-old defensive specialist managed to avoid a trip to the injured list, which is a positive development for the Rays as they try to hold off the Yankees in the AL East pennant race.

Taylor Walls (finger) remains out of the Rays’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Guardians.

It’s the fourth straight game that Walls has missed after hyperextending a couple of fingers on his left hand on Wednesday. He’s still considered day-to-day and isn’t expected to require a trip to the injured list. Ben Williamson will once again start at shortstop in his absence and will bat sixth against Guardians’ left-hander Parker Messick.
