Trevor Williams Throwing At 125 Feet
4 months agoWashington 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.
