Luke Williams Stats

Miami Marlins utility man Luke Williams stole three bases against the Cincinnati Reds Wednesday, going 3-for-3 with a double and a run scored in the 3-0 victory. Williams has been receiving regular playing time of late, and while he offers very little power with just one home run in 79 at-bats this season, seven of his nine steals have come in the last 30 games, and he could be a solid cheap option for fantasy managers desperate for speed.

The Miami Marlins acquired infielder Luke Williams from the San Francisco Giants on Thursday in exchange for infielder Hayden Cantrelle. Williams played in eight games for the Giants this year, going 3-for-12 with no home runs and three RBI. The Giants designated him for assignment last week. In 66 career games for the Philadelphia Phillies and Giants the last two years, Williams has slashed .245/.308/.318 with one home run, nine RBI, nine runs scored and two stolen bases. The 25-year-old will provide organizational depth for the Fish. Cantrelle has some speed, but he was struggling with a .185 batting average and 40 strikeouts in 28 games for Double-A Pensacola before the trade.

The San Francisco Giants have acquired infielder and outfielder Luke Williams from the Philadelphia Phillies for minor league infielder Will Toffey and cash considerations. Williams hit .245 with a .315 on-base percentage, one home run, and a pair of stolen bases in 108 plate appearances for the Phillies last season. Capable of playing all four infield positions and the outfield, he'll give the Giants some additional depth on the 40-man roster. Williams collected a hit, an RBI, and a run scored in four plate appearances for the Phillies in Grapefruit League play this spring.
