Called up by Tampa Bay Walls was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Impact Walls got off to a slow start after the All-Star break and went 1-for-15 with a double, an RBI and two walks across six games. However, he fared slightly better since returning to the minors in late July, as he slashed .224/.355/.469 with six homers, 26 runs, 15 RBI and six stolen bases across 29 games. Walls will slot into a backup role at shortstop behind Wander Franco.
