Reds place left-hander starter Brandon Williamson on 15-day IL with shoulder fatigue

The Cincinnati Reds placed left-handed starter Brandon Williamson on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder fatigue after undergoing an MRI on Thursday morning

APRIL 30 • Associated Press

Placed on IL with shoulder fatigue The Reds placed Williamson on the 15-day injured list Thursday with left shoulder fatigue.

Impact Williamson had to be removed from Wednesday's start against the Rockies with the issue. It's unclear how long the left-hander will be sidelined, but with Nick Lodolo (finger) due back soon, Williamson could be without a rotation spot when he is ready to return. Williamson holds a 6.11 ERA and 19:20 K:BB over six starts covering 28 innings this season.

Exits with shoulder fatigue Williamson was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rockies with left shoulder fatigue, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Impact Williamson made it through just three innings before coming out of Wednesday's game, giving up four earned runs on four hits and four walks while striking out four batters. It's unknown whether his shoulder will force him to move to the IL, though the Reds may offer more information after they take a closer look at him.

Shaky in loss to Tampa Williamson (2-2) took the loss Wednesday as the Reds were downed 6-1 by the Rays, coughing up five runs on seven hits and three walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

Impact A third-inning solo shot by Junior Caminero marked the only extra-base hit off Williamson, but the southpaw has trouble putting hitters away and tossed 54 strikes among his 87 pitches. He's failed to last five innings in three of his five starts so far this season, producing a 5.40 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 15:16 K:BB over 25 innings, and with Nick Lodolo (blister) getting close to making his 2026 debut, Williamson's time in the rotation could be nearing its end.

Earns second win of 2026 Williamson (2-1) earned the win against the Twins on Friday, allowing one run on three hits and four walks while striking out two across 5.1 innings.

Impact Williamson's four free passes are a bit of a concern, and he generated just six whiffs while tossing 50 strikes on 93 pitches (53.8 percent). However, he kept the Twins to just one run, courtesy of a sacrifice fly from Austin Martin. After yielding six earned runs in his first start of the season against the Pirates on March 31, Williamson has given up just four runs over his last 16 innings, though he's also walked 11 batters in that span. He is lined up to face the Rays on the road next week, which could be Williamson's last turn in the rotation if Nick Lodolo (finger) is activated from the 15-day injured list.
