Carson Williams: Breaking News

The Rays optioned Williams to Triple-A Durham on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. With Ben Williamson (back) returning from the injured list, Williams will head back to the minors. The 22-year-old has really struggled at the plate across his first 139 big-league trips to the dish, slashing a paltry .155/.204/.302 with five homers, 15 RBI, 17 runs scored, two stolen bases and an 8:55 BB:K. He's hit .100 with a .290 OPS across 33 plate appearances this season.

The Rays recalled Williams from Triple-A Durham on Sunday. The 22-year-old made Tampa Bay's Opening Day roster but was demoted back to Durham after going 3-for-23 with nine strikeouts in his first seven MLB games. Taylor Walls reclaimed the starting job at shortstop once he was healthy, but Williams is returning to the majors with Jake Fraley (hernia) heading to the IL. Walls has a .212/.310/.273 slash line in 118 plate appearances, so Williams could get some opportunities to prove he can handle big-league pitching, and the additional infield depth could free up Richie Palacios for more time in right field.

The Rays optioned Williams to Triple-A Durham on Monday. Williams went just 3-for-23 with a 1:9 BB:K at the plate through his first seven games this season and has an untenable 40.5 percent strikeout rate so far at the major-league level. With Taylor Walls (oblique) returning from the injured list, the Rays will give Williams some additional seasoning in the minors.
