Devin Williams fans two for save versus Braves

Devin Williams

NYM Relief Pitcher #38

Player Stats

Devin Williams earned a save after allowing one run in two-thirds of an inning Sunday against the Braves.

Williams thought he had the day off with the Mets up 10-3 in the ninth, but aided by some shoddy defense, the Braves scored five runs off Huascar Brazobán. Williams came in with one out and the bases empty after a Drake Baldwin grand slam and struck out Ozzie Albies before giving up three straight hits. The second of those should have been the third out, but Jared Young and Williams got too deliberate trying to pull off a 3-1 groundout and Michael Harris II beat it out. Williams finally finished off the game by striking out Dominic Smith with the winning run on second. It’s Williams’ 13th save in 14 tries. He threw 22 pitches, but since he did have four days off coming into this one, he’ll probably be available on Monday.

Mets placed RHP Devin Williams on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder strain.

Williams heads to the shelf after registering a disappointing 4.66 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 51/21 K/BB ratio across 38 2/3 innings. The 31-year-old has converted just 16 of his 19 save chances this season. A quick glance under the hood reveals a more palatable 3.29 xERA and a bloated .388 BABIP, but his Mets debut has been an unmitigated disaster. His absence thrusts New York into a closer by committee situation with Kodai Senga and Daniel Duarte as the most likely candidates to inherit save opportunities, with rookie lefty Nate Lavender representing a dark horse for the role.

Devin Williams let up two runs, three hits, and one walk in a non-save situation on Friday against the Pirates.

Pitching for the first time in five days, Williams did not have it. He nearly blew a four run lead, but was bailed out by a critical outfield assist from Brett Baty and beautiful sliding play by Marcus Semien to end this game. Otherwise, he showed poor command the Pirates were teeing off on him. He dealt with a bout of arm fatigue earlier this according to Mets brass, so it was at least nice to see him back on the mound.
Daniel Duarte

NYM Relief Pitcher #54

Daniel Duarte walked one batter in a scoreless 10th inning to earn the save on Wednesday against the Guardians.

The Mets rallied to tie this game in the ninth inning and after scoring one run in the 10th, Duarte rather than Devin Williams came in for the save in the 10th. It was reported after the game that Williams was unavailable with general arm fatigue and should be ready to go in the coming days, so expect this as a one-off opportunity for Duarte. Expect some chaos in this Mets’ bullpen – apart from Jefry Yan’s leaping strikeout celebrations – though if Williams’ fatigue turns into anything more serious after they shipped out four relievers and two starters at the trade deadline.
Devin Williams

NYM Relief Pitcher #38

Mets interim manager Andy Green told reporters Devin Williams was unavailable for Wednesday’s game against the Guardians due to arm fatigue.

This certainly explains why Daniel Duarte got the call to close out the Guardians with a one-run lead in the 10th inning. Williams hasn’t pitched since throwing 14 pitches in a non-save situation over the weekend. Green added that they expect him to be available for Thursday’s contest, which is encouraging news for fantasy managers.
Devin Williams

NYM Relief Pitcher #38

Devin Williams closed out the Marlins on Thursday evening, protecting a two-run lead to tally his 16th save of the season.

As always, Williams made things interesting in the ninth inning by allowing a leadoff walk to Heriberto Hernandez. He battled back though to strike out Griffin Conine and Jakob Marsee before getting Javier Sanoja to pop out to second base to end it. Williams continues to bring his ratios down as the season progresses, now sporting a still unsavory 4.29 ERA and 1.63 WHIP to go with his 16 saves in 19 attempts.
Devin Williams

NYM Relief Pitcher #38

Devin Williams threw a scoreless ninth to earn the save in Wednesday’s 3-2 win over the Braves.

Williams struck out one and allowed one hit as New York took the first of the doubleheader. He’s remained the team’s locked-in closer all year despite another ERA over 4. There just haven’t been as many save opportunities as projected entering the season. The Angels are the only team with fewer saves than the Mets, capping Williams’ chances. It doesn’t help that he hasn’t returned to his Milwaukee form, as some expected following his lone season with the Yankees.

Devin Williams slammed the door on the Phillies on Thursday night, working a perfect ninth inning to preserve a three-run advantage.

Williams took over with a 4-1 advantage and tore right through the heart of the Phillies’ lineup, getting Bryce Harper on a ground ball to second base, Brandon Marsh on a line drive to left and Alec Bohm on strikes to end it. It has been a rough season overall for the Mets’ closer, sporting a 4.73 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and a 44/19 K/BB ratio over 32 innings while converting 14 of his first 17 save chances.

Devin Williams took his third blown save after being charged with two runs — one earned — in the ninth inning Sunday against the Red Sox.

Williams gave up a leadoff single, but he then got a routine double play ball with one out, only for Francisco Lindor to boot it and retire no one. Two walks followed, with the second forcing in a run. Jarren Duran then hit a little popup behind second that dropped in. It was a ball that the second baseman would have handled if the infield hadn’t been drawn in, and Carson Benge came up just a tad short of catching it while racing in from right. That tied the game before Masataka Yoshida lined into a double play to prevent further damage. It’s Williams’ second blown save in a week, but while he owns the walks, this was much more Lindor’s doing than his.

Devin Williams took his second blown save of the year after giving up two runs in the ninth Monday against the Braves.

It was mostly just job well done by the Braves. Ozzie Albies hit a double on a changeup low and out of the zone, and Matt Olsen followed by taking a 95-mph fastball up in the zone out the other way to left. The homer was the third allowed by Williams this season. He’ll certainly be down on Tuesday after throwing 52 pitches the last two days. Unless the Mets want to use Luke Weaver for a third straight day, Huascar Brazobán could close.

Devin Williams earned his 12th save with a scoreless ninth against the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Williams hasn’t had a ton of save chances — tonight’s was his first in 12 days and fourth in June — but he’s gone over two months with blowing one. Luis Urías singled but was the only Blue Jays to reach in the ninth tonight.

Anthony Santander (shoulder) will begin a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

The forgotten man in Toronto, Santander has played just 54 games over the last two seasons combined due to shoulder issues. The 31-year-old slugger is unlikely to make much of a fantasy impact over the final few weeks of the season considering how much time he’s missed. He’ll need at least a handful of rehab games before he’s ready to return to the majors.

Start spreading the news. Judge is back. The 34-year-old generational talent returns for Tuesday’s series opener against the Rockies in New York following a three-month absence recovering from a rib fracture. His return should obviously have a massive impact for the Yankees, and fantasy managers as well, over the final three weeks of the regular season.

Yankees designated RHP Chase Hampton for assignment.

Hampton was one of New York’s brightest pitching prospect before an avalanche of elbow injuries derailed his trajectory. The 25-year-old has struggled to a disastrous 9.59 ERA across 11 starts for Double-A Somerset this season. Hampton is young enough that there could be another organization out there willing to roll the dice on him as a reclamation project.

Jackson Merrill went 3-for-4 with two RBI and his 25th stolen base of the season on Monday, lifting the Padres to a 3-2 win over the Nationals.

Merrill supplied a pair of key run-scoring hits for San Diego with two outs in the first and third innings, respectively, which made the difference in a low-scoring affair at Petco Park. The 23-year-old has put together a nice stretch at the plate recently, hitting .263 (15-for-57) with three homers, nine RBI and one steal over his last 15 games. He’s on pace to establish career-high marks in both the home run and stolen base departments after injuries limited him to just 115 games last year following his impressive rookie campaign.

Dylan Crews went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Monday’s loss to the Padres.

Crews was responsible for nearly half of Washington’s five hits during a low-scoring series opener out in San Diego. The 24-year-old former top prospect took lefty reliever Kyle Hart deep in the sixth inning for his 11th big fly of the season. He also singled against Padres elite closer Mason Miller to put the potential game-tying run on-base in the final frame. He hasn’t offered much from a batting average standpoint, but Crews continues to show a little bit of the power/speed combo skillset that made him such a coveted fantasy prospect just a few years ago.

Fernando Tatis Jr. went 3-for-4 with his 32nd stolen base of the season in Monday’s win over the Nationals.

It’s not hyperbolic to suggest that Tatis has been one of the more impactful hitters in the fantasy landscape during the second half, batting .296 (55-for-186) with 15 home runs and nine steals in 47 games since the All-Star break. The dynamic 27-year-old outfielder has already notched his fourth 20-homer, 20-steal campaign in the last five seasons and will establish a new career-high mark in the stolen base department on his next theft.

Mason Miller fired a scoreless ninth inning against the Nationals on Monday to record his 34th save of the season.

Miller came on to preserve a one-run lead in the final frame and managed to work around a one-out single from Dylan Crews by striking out CJ Abrams before getting Brady House to ground out to end it. He’s converted 34 of 36 save opportunities and has 113 strikeouts across 61 1/3 innings. He’s the best closer in the fantasy landscape and it might be a while before anyone else even enters the conversation.

Jake Irvin gave up three runs over 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the Padres on Monday.

Irvin gave up eight hits, including a pair of run-scoring singles by Jackson Merrill, to wind up on the hook for his ninth loss of the year. He struck out three and only issued two walks. The 29-year-old is not a recommended fantasy option when he takes the ball against the Angels to wrap up a two-start week on Sunday.

Nick Pivetta scattered two hits over five scoreless innings in a win over the Nationals on Monday.

Pivetta recorded two strikeouts and allowed just two baserunners, requiring an economical 63 pitches (39) strikes to cruise through five frames in his first start back in the majors since April 12. He gave up some loud contact, including six batted balls with exit velocities over 99 mph, but they didn’t come back to burn him. It was completely justifiable to question whether the 33-year-old veteran starter would make any sort of fantasy impact down the home stretch after such a lengthy layoff, but he seems to have answered those concerns with a strong effort right out of the gate. He’s in line for an extremely favorable matchup against the rebuilding Giants to wrap up a two-start week on Sunday.

Riley Greene went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer on Monday, propelling the Tigers to a 5-4 win over the Twins.

Greene spearheaded Detroit’s offense with an impressive three-hit performance, which included taking rookie southpaw Connor Prielipp deep in the fifth inning, to lift his team to a badly-needed win that keeps their slim playoff hopes alive. The 25-year-old middle-of-the-order force has gone deep three times in his last three contests and is up to 19 round-trippers on the season. He’s hitting .385 (10-for-26) with 10 RBI in seven games since coming off the injured list on September 1.
