Manager Kevin Cash said Saturday that Walls (hip) isn't recovering as quickly as the Rays had originally hoped, MLB.com reports.

Walls has yet to play this season while recovering from offseason hip surgery. He was expected to return by mid-April, but he has no clear timeline to come off the 10-day injured list at this point. Walls' ongoing absence should ensure continued playing time for Jose Caballero at shortstop.

Devers (shoulder) will start at third base and bat sixth in Monday's game versus the Guardians.

Devers missed four contests with a lingering left shoulder issue, but he's feeling well enough to return to action for Monday's Patriots Day game. He and his teammates will be going up against right-hander Xzavion Curry.

Candelario went 2-for-5 with two RBI, a run scored and was caught stealing in Sunday's 11-4 win over the White Sox.

Candelario delivered his first multi-hit effort of the season, including a two-run single in the fourth inning. Another first for the infielder was his placement in the batting order; Candelario's first 13 starts were at cleanup, but a season-opening slump dropped him to seventh Sunday against a right-hander. It's unclear if the switch-hitting Candelario will also be dropped against left-handers. On Monday, the Reds kick off a three-game set against the Mariners, who have righties scheduled to start all three contests.

Muncy went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Padres.

Muncy took Yu Darvish deep to right in the fourth to put the Dodgers ahead 3-1 and the offense would be shut out the rest of the way. That's now three home runs in his last four games and he's also managed to not strike out in consecutive games for the first time this year. Muncy has punched out multiple times in 11-of-16 games to begin the year and holds a strikeout rate of 37 percent, as he looks to level out that number as the season progresses.

Arias went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Sunday's 8-7 extra-inning win over the Yankees.

Arias' playing time has been limited this season as he serves in a utility role off the bench. He got a start at shortstop Sunday and delivered with his first homer and second extra-base hit of the season. The 24-year-old also made defensive shifts to first base and right field during the contest. He's hitting just .227 with four RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base over 23 plate appearances. With Brayan Rocchio batting .217 so far, there could be a chance for Arias to avenge his position battle loss from spring training as the regular season progresses.

Paredes went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI on Sunday against the Giants.

Paredes ended a three-game hitless streak with an RBI single in the third frame. Four innings later, he blasted a solo home run -- his fifth long ball of the campaign. Paredes has played in 14 of the Rays' 15 games this season and has hit cleanup on 12 occasions.

Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the Yankees.

Ramirez put the Guardians on the board with a two-run shot in the third inning. It was his third long ball of the season and first since April 8. He was stuck in a three-game hitless drought entering Sunday's contest, going 0-for-13 during that stretch. Ramirez is now slashing .246/.257/.435 with six extra-base hits and 12 RBI through 70 plate appearances.

Brujan suffered a right knee injury in Sunday's 9-7 loss to Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Brujan was replaced at shortstop by Tim Anderson in the top of the seventh frame after suffering an apparent knee injury in the series finale with Atlanta. Brujan is considered day-to-day ahead of the start of a three-game series at home with the Giants beginning Monday.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that LeMahieu (foot) could begin rehab assignment once the club finishes up the current road trip Wednesday in Toronto, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

The 35-year-old is traveling with the Yankees on the road trip and has continued to progress in his rehab work, with game action now seemingly on the horizon. LeMahieu was healthy for most of spring training before suffering the foot fracture in mid-March, so he shouldn't require an extended rehab assignment and could join the Yankees before the end of April.

Wade will not start Sunday against the Dodgers.

Wade has taken the bulk of starts at the third base this season, but he won't start Sunday as Eguy Rosario takes the field. The 30-year-old Wade went 4-for-8 to begin the year but has gone 4-for-27 across his past 12 games.
