Tampa Bay Rays infielder Taylor Walls is not in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Dallas Keuchel and the Minnesota Twins.
Walls is hitting lefties (.275) better than right-handers (.186) this season, but he will yield shortstop to Vidal Brujan after going 0-for-4 with 2 strikeouts on Tuesday. Brujan will bat ninth against Keuchel and company.
Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the Rays' implied total is 4.43 and the game total is 8.5. Keuchel has a 4.78 ERA and uglier 5.65 xERA across 26 1/3 innings this season. His 12.5% strikeout rate is lowest on the Wednesday slate among projected starters.
