Mon Sep 9 | 12:37 | Trevor Williams To Make Rehab Start On Tuesday |
Washington Nationals right-hander Trevor Williams (elbow) has faced live hitters twice in the last week-plus and is now scheduled to throw four innings or build up to 65 to 70 pitches in a minor-league rehab start with Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday in what will be his first competitive game since May 30. Williams has been out since late May with a flexor strain in his elbow. Barring a setback during what is expected to be a brief rehab assignment, Williams could rejoin the big-league rotation to make perhaps a couple of starts at the end of September. Manager Dave Martinez has said Williams probably needs to get up to 80 pitches before he comes off the 60-day injured list, so he'll need more than one rehab start. The 32-year-old veteran had bounced back from a rough 2023 to go 5-0 with a 2.22 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with 47 K's in 56 2/3 frames over 11 starts earlier this year before getting hurt. |

Thu Aug 15 | 21:32 | Trevor Williams Throws Bullpen Session |
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Trevor Williams (forearm) threw a bullpen session of 20 fastballs on Wednesday. Williams was placed on the 15-day injured list on June 4 due to a right flexor muscle strain, and he's been working his way back ever since. Manager Dave Martinez is hopeful he can return to pitch for the Nationals in the final month of the season in September. The 32-year-old veteran right-hander was pushing for his first career All-Star nod before going down, posting a 2.22 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with 47 strikeouts and 16 walks across 56 2/3 innings from Washington's rotation this year. Even so, Williams is hard to stash in fantasy leagues without a significant amount of time left in the year to be a factor. |

Mon Aug 5 | 22:22 | Trevor Williams Throwing At 125 Feet |
Washington Nationals right-hander Trevor Williams (elbow) is throwing at 125 feet and could throw a bullpen session next week. "He is feeling better, it's just been a slow process," manager Dave Martinez said. Williams was placed on the 15-day injured list back on June 4 (retroactive to June 1). The 32-year-old suffered a right-flexor muscle strain earlier this year at the worst possible time, as he was 5-0 with a 2.22 ERA (2.81 FIP), a 1.08 WHIP, 47 strikeouts and only 16 walks in 56 2/3 innings over his first 11 starts. It's good news that he is close to getting back on a mound, but given the length of time away from pitching, he's going to need a long ramp-up process and probably won't be much of a fantasy option over the final two months of the season as the Nats play out the string. Williams may not be able to return to Washington's starting rotation until the final month of the season in September. |

Tue Jun 4 | 12:25 | Nationals Place Trevor Williams On 15-Day Injured List |
The Washington Nationals placed right-hander Trevor Williams (forearm) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to June 1) on Tuesday with a right flexor strain and recalled left-handed pitching prospect DJ Herz from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move. Williams was scheduled to make the start on Tuesday against the visiting division-rival New York Mets, but that task will now fall to Herz in what will be his major-league debut. Given the nature of Williams' injury, the 32-year-old veteran will likely be out for more than two weeks. It's a tough blow for the Nats and fantasy managers, as Williams has been unexpectedly consistent so far in 2024, going 5-0 with a 2.22 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with 47 punchouts in 56 2/3 innings over his 11 starts. |

Wed May 15 | 00:12 | Trevor Williams Solid Again In Tuesday's No-Decision |
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Trevor Williams continued his dominant season in Tuesday's Game 1 6-3 win over the White Sox. Williams pitched five innings, allowing three runs (one earned) on four hits (including a solo home run) and a walk with two strikeouts. The 32-year-old has put together a career season, going 4-0 with a 1.94 ERA in eight starts and 41 2/3 IP. His next start will be a tough matchup at the Phillies. Fantasy managers may want to sit him despite his strong numbers. |

Wed May 8 | 06:26 | Trevor Williams Strikes Out Eight, Picks Up Fourth Win |
Washington Nationals right-hander Trevor Williams (4-0) allowed two hits while striking out eight across five scoreless innings in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Williams picked up his fourth win of the season. The 32-year-old threw 77 pitches, landing 53 for strikes. He struck out a season-high eight batters and has not allowed a home run in his previous seven starts, helping the Nationals go over .500 for the first time since 2021. Williams owns a 1.96 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and a 30:12 K: BB across 36 2/3 innings in 2024. The veteran will look to continue his strong season and can be used as a streamer at his next start on Monday on the road against the Chicago White Sox. |

Thu May 2 | 01:01 | Trevor Williams Dances Around Trouble Against Rangers |
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Trevor Williams held the defending-champion Texas Rangers in check in Wednesday's surprising 1-0 road victory, working around five hits and a season-high four walks to launch five scoreless innings with three strikeouts. After a spotless opening inning, Williams tiptoed around plenty of trouble over his 79 pitches but was able to escape with his third win of the campaign to remain unbeaten. The soft-throwing 32-year-old right-hander now holds a steady 2.27 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 22:12 K:BB across 31 2/3 frames (six starts) out of Washington's rotation this season. A tough test awaits Williams in Tuesday's scheduled start against the visiting Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Corbin Burnes at Nationals Park for the first outing of a two-game Beltway Series. The O's have hit an MLB-high 45 home run in 30 games, making Williams a tough sell as a fantasy streamer. |

Thu Feb 15 | 23:40 | Trevor Williams Yet To Report To Camp |
Washington Nationals right-hander Trevor Williams is the only healthy pitcher who has not reported to spring training yet, as he remains home in San Diego waiting for his wife to give birth to the couple's first child. Barring another addition to the roster, Williams is penciled in as the team's No. 5 starter and is expected to arrive at camp within the next few days. Based on what general manager Mike Rizzo said, the 31-year-old shouldn't face any competition for his rotation spot to open the 2024 season. He won't really be of much consideration in mixed fantasy leagues, though, after posting a 5.55 ERA and 1.60 WHIP in 144 1/3 innings for the Nationals last season. When former first-rounder Cade Cavalli (elbow) makes his season debut at some point this summer, it could push Williams to a long-relief role. |

Wed Sep 20 2023 | 12:50 | Trevor Williams Being Skipped In Rotation |
The Washington Nationals are skipping right-hander Trevor Williams' turn in the starting rotation, but manager Dave Martinez said that Williams will make another start next week. The team's weekend rotation against the Atlanta Braves will be Jake Irvin, Patrick Corbin and Joan Adon, with the final starter on Sunday yet to be announced. The 31-year-old Williams' next start lines up to be on Sept. 27 in a tough matchup against the Baltimore Orioles. We wouldn't recommend streaming him for that one, especially after he's surrendered 18 runs (17 earned) on 25 hits (five homers) while walking six and striking out eight in 10 1/3 innings in his three September starts against the Marlins, Dodgers and Brewers. |

Mon Aug 14 2023 | 12:51 | Trevor Williams Hit Hard Sunday |
Washington Nationals right-hander Trevor Williams had a start to forget on Sunday against the visiting Oakland Athletics, allowing five earned runs on six hits (three homers) while walking two and striking out four in 4 1/3 innings pitched. Williams was lucky to pick up a no-decision in an eventual 8-7 victory. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues might want to start looking for better options. The 31-year-old San Diego native is in a tough stretch over his last four starts, allowing 20 earned runs on 30 hits (eight homers) while walking seven and striking out 16 in 19 innings pitched. On the year as a whole, Williams is 5-7 with a 5.20 ERA (5.93 FIP), 1.52 WHIP, a league-high 28 long balls allowed, 40 walks and 90 K's in 117 2/3 innings (24 starts) in his first year in D.C. |

Sun Aug 6 2023 | 13:47 | Trevor Williams Reinstated From Bereavement List |
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Trevor Williams has been reinstated from the bereavement list and is slated to start on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies. In a corresponding move, the Nats activated Israel Pineda off the 60-day IL and optioned him to Double-A. Williams owns a 4.72 ERA, 1.49 WHIP, and 79:37 K/BB ratio over 108 2/3 innings (22 starts) this season and isn't a particularly appealing steaming option for fantasy purposes. |

Fri Dec 9 2022 | 13:03 | Nationals Sign Trevor Williams |
The Washington Nationals signed free-agent right-hander Trevor Williams to a two-year deal on Friday, according to a source. The deal is reportedly worth $13 million. The 30-year-old bounced around between the starting rotation and the bullpen for the New York Mets last year as a swingman, posting a solid 3.21 ERA and 1.23 WHIP over 89 2/3 innings pitched. In Washington, he could end up being the No. 5 starter or a long reliever. A lot will depend on the health of right-handed starter Stephen Strasburg (ribs), but Williams will give the team some valuable pitching depth. In his seven-year big-league career, Williams has posted a 4.27 ERA (4.40 FIP), a 1.34 WHIP, one save and a 19.2 percent strikeout rate in 715 1/3 innings over 159 outings (118 starts). |

Thu Dec 8 2022 | 13:03 | Mets Could Reunite With Trevor Williams |
The New York Mets are talking to free-agent right-hander Trevor Williams about a reunion. The 30-year-old is a pitcher to keep an eye on, and the Mets aren't the only team in on him this offseason. Williams went 3-5 with a 3.21 ERA (3.88 FIP), a 1.23 WHIP, 84 strikeouts and 23 walks in 89 2/3 innings for the Mets in 2022 in 30 outings (nine starts). If he returns to Queens, he could operate once again in a valuable swing-man role for the Mets' rotation/bullpen. In seven major-league seasons, Williams has a 4.27 ERA (4.40 FIP), a 1.34 WHIP and a 590:231 K:BB in 715 1/3 innings pitched over 159 appearances (118 starts) for the Mets, Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs. |

Wed Sep 29 2021 | 12:02 | Trevor Williams Goes Four Strong Innings In Bulk Outing |
New York Mets pitcher Trevor Williams entered in the second inning of Tuesday's nightcap against the Miami Marlins, taking over for opener Noah Syndergaard. Williams went four innings, allowing one run on five hits with six strikeouts. Williams has been excellent since joining the Mets, posting a 2.63 ERA in nine appearances including three starts. He figures to make one more appearance at least, and fantasy managers desperate for quality innings could do worse. |

Wed Aug 11 2021 | 21:59 | Trevor Williams Getting The Nod For Game 2 |
New York Mets pitcher Trevor Williams will start Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against Washington. With Wednesday's contest getting postponed due to inclement weather, Marcus Stroman will now start Game 1, allowing Williams to get some work with the big club. The 29-year-old, who was recently acquired from the Chicago Cubs during the Javier Baez trade, has fared well during his time in Syracuse thus far. Williams has upside for those managers in desperate need of pitching. However, he shouldn't be viewed as anything other than a streaming option, at least not at the moment. |

Sat Jul 31 2021 | 20:55 | Trevor Williams Will Debut With Triple-A Syracuse Saturday |
New York Mets pitcher Trevor Williams will make his organization debut with Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday. He will remain in the rotation in the minors as a "stretched-out" option, ready to step in if the Mets need him. Williams was acquired by New York at the MLB trade deadline but optioned to Triple-A Syracuse shortly after. The 29-year-old owned a (4-2) record along with a 5.06 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and a 61:22 K: BB across 58 2/3 innings in 2021. Mets ace Jacob deGrom (forearm) suffered a setback on Friday; Williams could get the call to the big leagues sooner than later. Fantasy managers can leave Williams on the waiver wire. |

Sat Jul 31 2021 | 02:55 | Joey Votto homers for 7th straight game, 1 shy of MLB record |
NEW YORK (AP) — Joey Votto homered for the seventh straight game, one shy of a major league record, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the New York Mets 6-2 on Friday night. Jonathan India went deep twice for the Reds, including a leadoff shot that came on Carlos Carrasco’s first pitch with the Mets. Acquired from Cleveland in January, the veteran right-hander finally made his New York debut after recovering from a hamstring injury. It was an up-and-down day for the Mets, who made a big deal to get Javier Báez from the Chicago Cubs before baseball’s trade deadline — and then revealed injured ace Jacob deGrom will be shut down for two more weeks because of inflammation in his pitching elbow, making it unlikely he’ll rejoin the NL East leaders before September. Báez was acquired from the Cubs along with right-hander Trevor Williams for outfield prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong, the Mets’ first-round pick in the 2020 amateur draft. Báez is expected to join the Mets on Saturday and will play shortstop... [ More] |

Sat Jul 31 2021 | 01:55 | Mets get Bez, Williams from Cubs for outfield prospect |
NEW YORK (AP) — Javier Báez got his wish: He's headed to New York to play with Francisco Lindor. But first, the Mets are counting on their big-name newcomer to replace his good buddy at shortstop for a while. With the trade deadline fast approaching Friday, the NL East leaders acquired Báez and pitcher Trevor Williams from the Chicago Cubs for outfield prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong. Báez, a two-time All-Star and 2020 Gold Glove winner, gives New York an immediate fill-in for Lindor. The star shortstop, obtained from Cleveland in a blockbuster deal last winter, is sidelined with a strained oblique and not expected back until at least mid-to-late August. “I’m super excited. I couldn’t be happier," Lindor said. "I can’t wait for him to come out here and put on a show for everybody.” The flashy Báez, who can become a free agent after the season, is batting .248 with 22 home runs and 65 RBIs. He has a .775 OPS and 13 stolen bases in 16 tries, but also leads the National League with 131 strikeouts.... [ More] |
