Confirmed as Tuesday's starter Williamson will start Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The Reds confirmed Monday night that Williamson will make his MLB debut in a traditional start at Coors Field. This will likely be a challenging environment for his first big-league action, especially considering he's failed to look very sharp in the minors so far this year. Williamson has posted a 6.62 ERA and 1.88 WHIP with a 27:20 K:BB across 34 frames (eight starts).

Impact The Reds currently don't have a starter listed for Tuesday's game in Colorado and it looks like that spot could go to Williamson in what would be his major-league debut.

Impact Williamson made some good impressions early on in spring training, but he hasn't looked ready for prime time in his recent outings and is coming off of a tough year in Triple-A in 2022. It wouldn't be a shock if he was ticketed for Louisville again to begin 2023.

To start Cactus League opener Williamson will start the Reds' Cactus League opener Saturday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact Williamson seems doubtful to crack the Opening Day roster in Cincinnati, but he is on track to make his MLB debut at some point in 2023. The 24-year-old struggled with command issues last season while working to a 4.11 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 123:77 K:BB in 122.2 innings between Double-A Chattanooga and Triple-A Louisville.
