Gavin Williams News
Cleveland Guardians right-hander Gavin Williams (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session this week during the series against the Seattle Mariners that ends on Wednesday. Williams landed on the injured list to begin the 2024 regular season after dealing with right-elbow inflammation in the middle of spring training in March. The 24-year-old will hopefully embark on a minor-league rehab assignment shortly after he gets back on the mound. Barring setbacks on his rehab assignment, he has a chance to make his season debut before the end of April. The former 23rd overall pick in 2021 out of East Carolina went 3-5 with a solid 3.29 ERA and 1.26 WHIP with 37 walks and 81 strikeouts in 82 innings in his first 16 major-league starts in 2023, so he will have a rotation spot waiting for him when he's ready.
Cleveland Guardians right-hander Gavin Williams (elbow) will start the year on the injured list. He will need another three or four days without throwing before he ramps back up and won't have enough time to build up completely before Opening Day on March 28. Williams had an MRI exam and everything looked good structurally, though, so he should be able to make his 2024 debut at some point later in April. The 24-year-old injured his right elbow while throwing weighted balls during a spring workout, but the injury isn't overly serious. Williams looked good in his first MLB season in 2023, going 3-5 with a 3.29 ERA and 1.26 WHIP with 37 walks and 81 strikeouts in 82 innings over 16 starts. While Williams was a little fortunate in the ERA department last year, he's still worth a back-end rotation spot in mixed fantasy leagues as he enters his sophomore season.
Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Gavin Williams (elbow) was scratched ahead of his scheduled start on Sunday. The right-hander is dealing with right elbow discomfort, so the organization is going to proceed with extreme caution. Luckily, Williams is currently considered as day-to-day, so the team doesn't believe it's a long term issue. The Guardians are likely going to ease Williams back into activities throughout the spring. Williams has been a stud this spring, so the hope is that he'll be ready to go by Opening Day.

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Gavin Williams is one of the more exciting young right-handers in the game. A former first-round pick who's 24 and was a top prospect, Williams had a good 2023 on the surface. A 3.29 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 81 strikeouts in 82 innings shows the promise Williams has. All wasn't as rosy under the hood, however, and Williams has some things to improve on if he wants to duplicate last season's numbers. His xERA, xBA, and K% were all near league average. The 6-foot-6-inch righty was in the bottom fourth of the league in Chase %, BB %, and GB %. Combine that with a little luck, a .270 BABIP and a 9.2% HR/FB rate, and Williams has some work to do before making a breakthrough at the major league level. A 4.53 xFIP and 4.61 SIERA show how lucky Williams was in 2023. There's no saying Williams can't repeat his outcome from last season, he has the pedigree and stuff to do so, he'll just have to improve in some areas. RotoBaller's 164 rank would be a good place to target him, knowing he has the potential for better performances as he gets more acclimated to the show.
