Justin Williams News
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Justin Williams (neck) and starting pitcher Kwang Hyun Kim (back) were both placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday, according to Zachary Silver of MLB.com. Kim exited his start on Friday in the third inning due to back tightness, manager Mike Shildt said that while he was moving better on Saturday, it wasn't quite as good as the team was hoping for. Williams was placed on the IL due to a stiff neck, as he has not played since Tuesday where he went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout against the Dodgers. While Williams hasn't provided much fantasy value with his .160/.270/261 triple-slash line, Kim has been a decent pitcher when healthy, posting a 4.05 ERA and 1.350 WHIP with a 20.3 percent strikeout rate over 40 innings of work.
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Justin Williams struck out in all four of his plate appearances in Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 0-for-4 "performance" dropped his batting average to .169 and his OPS to .566. He's struck out 35 times in 97 plate appearances and looks lost at times at the plate. He's always had some swing and miss in his game, but strikeouts were never this big of an issue for him at the minor league level. Since being called up however, he's striking out in more than 33% of his at bats.
St. Louis Cardinals rookie outfielder Justin Williams did not have a good day at the plate on Sunday, going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts. It's been a rough start to the season for the 25-year-old, who is now hitless in nine at bats and has struck out five times. He's looked overmatched so far and is a prime candidate for a day off when the Cardinals begin a new series on the road against the Miami Marlins on Monday.
