    Walls has been limited by a sore right calf but is available off the bench Friday against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    He fouled a ball off his calf earlier this week, which is why he has been absent from the lineup the last two days. Walls' defensive ability and versatility are why he is still in the majors, as he is in the midst of a 5-for-70 slump since May 4.

He'll start at third base and bat cleanup during Friday's matchup against Detroit and should reclaim his role as the Yankees' everyday third baseman while DJ LeMahieu shifts back to the keystone.
