Trevor Williams - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Comes off 60-day IL The Nationals reinstated Williams (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Williams had started in each of his 60 appearances with Washington over the previous three seasons, but manager Blake Butera has already said that the veteran right-hander will return to the big club in a long-relief role after posting shaky results during his rehab assignment while working his way back from internal brace surgery, which he underwent July 17, 2025. While making stops at five different affiliates from June 28 through this past Friday, Williams compiled a 6.46 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB in 15.1 innings.

Returning Wednesday The Nationals are expected to reinstate Williams (elbow) from the injured list Wednesday, Danielle Allentuck of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Williams has been on the injured list all season while on the mend from the internal brace procedure he underwent last July. He was cleared to begin a rehab assignment June 28 and has since given up 14 runs (11 earned) in 15.1 innings over six appearances while making stops at each of the Nationals' minor-league affiliates. With Williams failing to find consistent success against minor-leaguers and fellow starter Jake Irvin (shoulder) also closing in on a return from the IL, manager Blake Butera has already confirmed that Williams will move to the bullpen to work as a long reliever. It's unknown whether it will be a permanent move, though returning to the rotation will only become more difficult once Connelly Early (elbow) is cleared to make his Nationals debut.

Completes fifth rehab start Williams (elbow) struck out three and allowed three earned runs on six hits and two walks across 3.1 innings in a rehab start Sunday with High-A Wilmington.

Impact Williams has now made five rehab starts across stops at five different affiliates, compiling a 4.09 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB in 11 innings. The 3.1 innings and 60 pitches Williams handled Sunday marked the highest totals of his rehab assignment, as the Nationals are seemingly having him build up slowly in his return from internal brace surgery. Given the unremarkable results he's submitted thus far during his time in the minors in addition to rehabbing starter Jake Irvin (shoulder) also closing in on a return from the 60-day injured list, Williams may not be in line for a spot in the Washington rotation once he's activated.

Strikes out five in rehab start Williams (elbow) struck out five and allowed one unearned run on one hit and one walk across two innings Tuesday in a rehab start in the rookie-level Florida Complex League.

Impact Williams has now made four rehab starts since his 30-day window opened June 28, but he has yet to reach three innings in any of those appearances. Though the veteran right-hander has worked primarily as a starter during his big-league career, the lighter workloads he's handled two and a half weeks into his rehab assignment suggest that the Nationals could be preparing for him to handle a multi-inning role out of the bullpen once he returns from the 60-day injured list. Williams has been on the shelf all season while completing his recovery from internal brace surgery, which he underwent last July.

Covers 2.2 innings in rehab start Williams (elbow) struck out two and allowed two hits and no walks over 2.2 scoreless innings Wednesday in a rehab start at Triple-A Rochester.

Impact Through three starts since beginning his rehab assignment June 28, Williams has turned in a 3.18 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 5:0 K:BB over 5.2 innings across stops with Rochester, Double-A Harrisburg and Single-A Fredericksburg. Williams is building up his innings and pitch counts slowly but surely as he works his way back from last July's internal brace surgery and will likely require at least two or three more appearances in the minors to get fully stretched out. The Nationals don't appear to have a spot available in the rotation for Williams at the moment, though that could change in the aftermath of the Aug. 3 trade deadline.

Third rehab start coming Wednesday Williams (elbow) is slated to make his third rehab start Wednesday at Triple-A Rochester, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Impact After recording just two outs and yielding four runs (two earned) in his first rehab appearance June 28 with Single-A Fredericksburg, Williams bounced back nicely in his second minor-league outing Friday with Double-A Harrisburg. In that start, Williams struck out two batters and allowed just one hit and no walks over 2.1 scoreless innings. He'll look to get further stretched out Wednesday and is likely to need at least one more start in the minors following the All-Star break before the Nationals consider bringing him back from the 60-day injured list. The Nationals have gotten respectable results lately from Zack Littell, Miles Mikolas and Andrew Alvarez at the back end of the rotation, so it's unclear if the team will be willing to open up a starting role for Williams once he's ready for activation.

Poor results in first rehab start Williams (elbow) struck out a batter and allowed four runs (two earned) on four hits and no walks while recording two outs in a rehab start Sunday with Single-A Fredericksburg.

Impact Williams spotted 18 of his 26 pitches for strikes in the rehab start -- his first at any level since undergoing an internal brace procedure last July -- but that was about the only positive takeaway from Sunday's outing. The veteran right-hander will likely need the full 30-day rehab window to build up his pitch count and iron out his command, so he likely won't be in consideration for a spot in the Washington rotation until late July or early August. Before requiring surgery last summer, Williams struggled in 17 starts with Washington, posting a 6.21 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 65:21 K:BB in 82.2 innings.
