Gavin Williams Fans Six In Latest Rehab Start
5 months agoCleveland Guardians right-hander Gavin Williams (elbow) made his latest minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Columbus on Thursday and looked good, giving up just one earned run on three hits while walking two and striking out six batters in four innings of work. The 24-year-old threw 82 pitches in the outing. If the Guardians decide that this was Williams' final rehab start, he could make his 2024 debut in a fantastic matchup next Tuesday versus the Chicago White Sox. The former 23rd overall pick in 2021 out of East Carolina should be picked up now off the waiver wire in mixed leagues if he's available after going 3-5 with an impressive 3.29 ERA (4.05 FIP) and 1.26 WHIP with 81 strikeouts and 37 walks in 82 innings over his first 16 MLB starts in 2023. He'll need to be more efficient and limit the free passes, but Williams' upside is intriguing with the first-place Guardians.
