Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Ben Williamson is a utility infielder for the Tampa Bay Rays who has been dealing with back tightness and is currently day-to-day. He recently had a strong performance, driving in the go-ahead run with a single in an 8th-inning rally against Toronto on May 5, 2026. However, he has since been benched and is not in the lineup for upcoming games. Williamson appears to be primarily used as a platoon player at second base, particularly against left-handed pitching. He started in six consecutive games but has since been sitting out, indicating limited playing time and a defined role within the team's lineup.
