    Trevor Williams (elbow) struck out five and allowed one run — zero earned — over two innings on Tuesday in a minor league rehab start in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League.

    It’s a bit unclear how Williams fits into Washington’s second-half pitching plans, but he’s getting close to making it back. The 34-year-old has made it through four rehab starts as he continues working his way back from last year’s internal brace procedure.
Mets' ace Scott is finding his groove again
James Schiano discusses Mets' pitcher Christian Scott's strong stretch over his last six starts and why the Mets right-hander could emerge as a top-50 starting pitcher for the rest of the season.

    Williams underwent an internal brace procedure on his UCL in July. It sounds like he’ll have a chance to return at some point this season, possibly by June or July. He made 25 throws at 60 feet in his first official action since surgery.
  • WSH Pitcher #32
    Williams is still in the process of recovering from an internal brace procedure that he underwent in July and will miss at least the first month or two of the 2026 season. By placing him on the 60-day injured list, the club freed up a spot on their 40-man roster for the addition of Andre Granillo on Tuesday.
  • WSH Starting Pitcher #32
    Williams is scheduled to undergo an internal brace procedure next week. It’s possible his surgeon decides that he’ll need a full Tommy John reconstructive procedure at that time. The 33-year-old will miss the remainder of the 2025 season and will miss some additional time at the outset of next year.
  • WSH Starting Pitcher #32
    The procedural move frees up a spot on Washington’s 40-man roster for veteran reliever Luis García. The 33-year-old righty hit the shelf last week with a right elbow sprain and will likely miss the rest of the season.
  • WSH Starting Pitcher #32
    It sounds like it’ll be another lengthy absence for Williams, who missed 3 1/2 months last year with a flexor tendon sprain. Williams was 3-10 with a 6.21 ERA this season, but the Nationals still appreciated his innings. Now they’ll either have to go to Cade Cavalli or Shinnosuke Ogasawara prematurely as they make their way back from injuries or turn to another struggling Triple-A starter. Brad Lord would be their best option to take over, but he’s the team’s most important reliever at this point and isn’t stretched out.

    It this hadn’t been a doubleheader, Williams most likely would have gotten lifted during a six-run first in which he threw a whopping 54 pitches. However, with the Nationals needing some innings from him, he was left in and managed to at least get through three. Williams fell to 0-5 in his last six starts and 3-10 with a 6.21 ERA overall. The Nationals don’t have anyone they want to use in his place right now, but they could swap him out for Cade Cavalli or Shinnosuke Ogasawara after the break.

    Showers stretching all across the East Coast are going to disrupt things on Tuesday night for fantasy managers. This contest will be made up as a doubleheader on Wednesday instead. Tuesday’s original starters — Jack Flaherty and Trevor Williams — will presumably take the ball at some point during the twin bill. The other fantasy-relevant storyline here is that Detroit won’t officially put outfielder Kerry Carpenter (hamstring) on the injured list until Wednesday now.

    Williams held the Padres scoreless through three innings before giving up two runs in the fourth on three hits and a groundout. Martín Maldonado then led off the fifth inning with a solo homer off Williams to tie the game. Williams walked the first two batters in the sixth and was relieved with no outs at 70 pitches. He struck out three. One inherited runner would score, putting Williams in line for the loss. The 33-year-old right-hander will take a 5.65 ERA, 11.47 WHIP and a 61/20 K/BB ratio across 79 2/3 innings into a home start against the Tigers next Tuesday.
  • WSH Starting Pitcher #32
    It’s a very favorable matchup, but the Nationals will take this from Williams, who equaled his season high with six strikeouts. Cole Henry preserved Williams’ 5.54 ERA by striking out two in a row after coming in with runners on the corners in the sixth. Williams will make his next start Tuesday in San Diego.
  • WSH Starting Pitcher #32
    He allowed six hits, walked one and struck out three in falling to 3-8 with a 5.71 ERA. Dave Martinez scoffed at the idea of lifting Williams from the rotation after his loss to the Rangers on Sunday, and this outing was better than that one, so nothing figures to change now. Williams has a home start against the Rockies in the four-game series coming up next week, but if anyone is looking for streaming options, all of the Nationals’ other starters in the series (Jake Irvin, Michael Soroka and Mitchell Parker) seem like better bets.

    George Springer is not in the Blue Jays’ starting lineup for Sunday’s battle against the White Sox.

    The Blue Jays have been careful to mix in off days for Springer in an effort to keep him healthy for the remainder of the season. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will serve as the club’s designated hitter in his absence while Sean Keys draws a start at first base and will bat sixth against White Sox’ right-hander Sean Burke on Sunday afternoon in Toronto.

    Rob Refsnyder (knee) began a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

    The 35-year-old has been shelved since June 27 due to inflammation in his right knee. He’s going to need at least a few games against live pitching before he’s an option to rejoin the Mariners. Barring any setbacks, he should be ready to go at some point during the upcoming week.

    Red Sox released LHP Danny Coulombe.

    The 36-year-old southpaw had been designated for assignment last week. Coulombe has struggled to a 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and a cringe-inducing 10/15 K/BB ratio over 22 innings with the Red Sox this season. He’s now free to explore options on the open market.

    Chase Meidroth is not in the White Sox’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Blue Jays.

    It appears to be nothing more than a routine day of rest for the 24-year-old second baseman. Sam Antonacci will cover second base in his absence while Randal Grichuk draws a start in left field and will bat seventh against Blue Jays’ right-hander Trey Yesavage.

    Cole Young went 2-for-4 and hit a three-run homer Saturday as the Mariners topped the Giants 4-3 in 10 innings.

    Young’s homer off Logan Webb gave the Mariners their only runs in regulation before Julio Rodríguez won the game with a sac fly in the 10th. It was Young’s 12th homer this season. His .254/.313/.400 line is hardly eyepopping, but for a 22-year-old playing in T-Mobile half of the time, it’s really quite impressive and bodes well for him being a quality regular for the next 10 or 12 years.

    Bryan Woo yielded three runs — two earned — in six innings Saturday versus the Giants.

    The earned runs came in the sixth on solo homers from Rafael Devers and Willy Adames, which checked in at just 339 and 358 feet, respectively. Apart from that, Woo was really good in striking out seven. The unearned run was especially unearned. Technically, it scored on a Luke Raley error, but Luis Arraez only reached in the first place on what should have been a Cole Young error but was deemed a single because that’s just how the league likes it. Woo will pitch in Texas next week, which makes for an even more favorable matchup than most of his home starts.

    Logan Webb surrendered three runs in 6 2/3 innings Saturday in a no-decision against the Mariners.

    Webb had a shutout going until Cole Young homered with two on and two out in the seventh. That made the game a 3-3 tie, so Webb remained winless in three starts this month. He’s allowed four homers in three outings in July after surrendering just five in his previous 14 starts. He’ll face the Angels next.

    Travis Bazzana went 2-for-3 with a game-winning two-run homer as the Guardians beat the Pirates 5-3 in the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader.

    Bazzana also walked twice before his walkoff shot off Dennis Santana in the bottom of the ninth gave the Guardians a doubleheader sweep. Throw in his RBI triple in the matinee, and it was a big day for a rookie hitting just .158/.241/.197 in his previous 19 games. He’s at .253/.337/.410 overall in 67 big-league games.

    Logan Allen allowed three runs — two earned — in 3 1/3 innings versus the Pirates in his spot start in the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader.

    Serving as the Guardians’ 27th man, Allen allowed six hits, walked three and struck out three in his second appearance this year. It’s the first time in 98 games this year that the Guardians have needed to look beyond their usual five starters. Allen will now head back to Triple-A and wait for a more significant role to open up.

    Khristian Curtis tossed five scoreless innings in a bulk role Saturday in the second game of a doubleheader against the Guardians.

    Curtis came up big in his major league debut, only to watch the bullpen give up five runs behind him. As the 27th man for the doubleheader, he’ll return to Triple-A now, but at least he’s on the 40-man for the first time and in great position to get another look in the near future.
