Walls will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Though he looked like he would lose out on playing time when shortstop Ha-Seong Kim was reinstated from the injured list July 3, Walls has proceeded to start eight of the Rays' ensuing 10 games. He initially benefited from Kim missing three straight starts due to a calf issue, but Walls now has opportunities available at the keystone after Brandon Lowe (oblique) was placed on the IL on Friday. Tampa Bay values Walls primarily for his defense, but he hasn't been a total zero at the plate thus far in July. He'll head into Sunday's contest with a .267 batting average, one home run and two steals through his first 10 games of the month.

Correa (ankle) will start at shortstop and bat cleanup Sunday against the Pirates.

The veteran shortstop sat out Saturday's 12-4 win after being removed from Friday's 2-1 victory due to a mild right ankle sprain, but he's back in action Sunday for the final game before the All-Star break. Correa is hitting .281 (9-for-32) through nine games in July, though he has just two extra-base hits (both doubles) and a .344 slugging percentage.

Duran started at first base and went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Astros.

Duran struck out four times and has endured a tough stretch over the last three weeks, going 2-for-24 (.083) across 13 games (29.6 percent strikeout rate). He might normally start at third base against a lefty, but Duran was needed to cover first base for Jake Burger (quadriceps). Duran is batting .130 with a .395 OPS in 38 games for the Rangers.

Smith started at third base and went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Houston.

Smith typically doesn't start against left-handers -- he has just 66 at-bats against them this season -- but Ezequiel Duran was needed to cover first base for Jake Burger (quadriceps). Smith was dropped from his usual leadoff spot to eighth in a rare start against a southpaw, against whom he has a .212/.274/.242 slash line in 2025. The steal was Smith's ninth of the season and first in 29 contests.

Perdomo batted ninth and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 10-5 loss to the Angels.

For the last month, Perdomo made a home in the upper third of the batting order, but he was back down hitting ninth Saturday, which is where he started the season. It's unclear if this will be a permanent shift, but the shortstop has been productive no matter where he's been slotted.

Edwards went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Orioles.

Edwards connected on his first home run of the 2025 season with a two-run blast off Scott Blewett in the ninth inning. The switch hitter tallied two extra-base hits Saturday -- just the third time he's done so all season -- lifting his season numbers to .289/.354/.346 with 15 extra-base hits, 16 stolen bases, 24 RBI and a clean .700 OPS across 78 games.

Ritter went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Reds.

Ritter continues to get regular run with Ezequiel Tovar (oblique) sidelined, but he's struggled to find a rhythm at the plate. Ritter did manage his first career home run with a two-run blast in the third inning Saturday, which is his first extra-base hit since June 27. Tovar has begun a rehab assignment, so Ritter's regular playing time is likely to decrease significantly coming out of the All-Star break.

Crawford went 2-for-6 with a double and four RBI during Saturday's 15-7 win over the Tigers.

Crawford has been red-hot at the plate as the first half comes to a close, knocking in four runs in a game for the third time this season. He is also the owner of a 13-game hit streak, which he extended Saturday with a third-inning single and followed up with a bases-clearing double in the ninth. The 30-year-old's hot streak has contributed to a quality slash line of .287/.388/.387 with one game to go before the All-Star break.

Abrams went 1-for-4 with one RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Brewers.

Abrams reached the 20-steal mark for the third year in a row with his theft in the third inning. He's been more efficient on the basepaths this year, getting caught just twice so far after going 31-for-43 on steals attempts in 2024. The shortstop continues to enjoy a breakout campaign atop the Nationals' lineup, with a .287/.353/.483 slash line, 12 home runs, 33 RBI, 61 runs scored, 20 doubles and four triples across 82 contests. He's hit safely in 10 of 11 games in July, batting .293 (12-for-41) this month.

Pena (ribs) hit in an indoor cage and did "light on-field work" prior to Saturday's game against the Rangers, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Pena recently resumed baseball activities after landing on the IL due to a fractured left rib June 30. Though he hasn't yet tested out the injury by throwing across the diamond, the shortstop's ability to swing a bat and field ground balls are encouraging signs of progress. Pena will attend but will not play in the All-Star Game, and he could be activated off the IL shortly following the break.
