The Rays exercised Walls' $3.1 million club option for the 2027 season Monday.
Fresh off winning the American League Gold Glove at shortstop, Walls will be back with the Rays next season. A liability at the plate, Walls slashed an ugly .222/.309/.298 with two home runs, 36 RBI, 60 runs scored, 21 stolen bases and a 45:105 BB:K across 433 plate appearances during the 2026 regular season. He then went 4-for-39 with no extra-base hits during Tampa Bay's postseason run.

Walls went 3-for-4 with three runs scored and an RBI in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Yankees.
The shortstop led the charge in a 6-1 win for the Rays that clinched the AL East crown, and a first-round bye in the playoffs. Walls is in the lineup for his defense, not his offense, but despite a hip issue that cost him a good chunk of September, he's put together a .289/.364/.342 slash line over 46 plate appearances since Aug. 28 with two doubles, two steals, five RBI and nine runs in 13 contests.

Walls is absent from the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Yankees.
The Rays will roll out Ben Williamson at shortstop for Tuesday's matinee. Walls should be back to man the position for the nightcap.

Walls isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Boston, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Walls will move to the bench after going 1-for-4 with two walks, two RBI and a run scored during his first two games back from the IL. Jorge Mateo will pick up a start at shortstop and bat ninth.

The Rays activated Walls (hip) from the 10-day injured list Thursday.
Walls required just a minimum 10-day absence as he recovered from a right hip flexor strain. He'll return to a lowly .218/.304/.292 batting line. Nick Madrigal was sent down to Triple-A Durham in a corresponding roster move.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said Wednesday that Walls (hip) felt good during his workouts Tuesday, and the team is encouraged by the shortstop's progress, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
Walls hit the 10-day injured list Sept. 8 with a right hip flexor strain, but it sounds like he won't miss much more than the minimum, with Bass indicating Walls could return as soon as Thursday. Now 30, Walls is a .199/.290/.297 career hitter over parts of six MLB seasons. However, Tampa Bay values his defense, and that aspect of his game has kept Walls in a regular role throughout the season (109 starts).
