Taylor Williams News
The San Francisco Giants signed free-agent right-hander Taylor Williams to a minor league deal on Sunday. Williams, a former fourth-round pick of the Milwaukee Brewers in 2013 out of Kent State, had a 4.63 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and nine strikeouts in 11 2/3 relief innings split between the San Diego Padres and Miami Marlins in 2021. The 30-year-old has a 5.29 career ERA and 1.56 WHIP while striking out 105 and walking 49 in 98 2/3 innings over 97 relief appearances in his five years in the major leagues. Williams allowed 10 earned runs in 13 1/3 relief innings at Triple-A El Paso in the Padres organization last year as well. He'll strictly be providing relief depth for the Giants this year and will be trying to win a roster spot this spring.
The San Diego Padres added pitchers Dinelson Lamet (forearm) and Taylor Williams(shoulder) to their roster on Wednesday, expanding the team's roster to 28 players. Lamet has been working his way back from forearm and elbow issues. He hasn't pitched for the team since late June. Williams, meanwhile, has been out since mid-April after undergoing shoulder surgery. Both players will work out of a crowded bullpen for the Padres. Lamet is the one who is worth watching for fantasy purposes, though it's unlikely he'll provide much fantasy value at any point through the last month of this season.
San Diego Padres relief pitcher Taylor Williams (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury during Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. In the sixth inning of the game, he went to cover first base on a play and had to dive to catch a throw from Jake Cronenworth. He landed hard on his left shoulder while diving. He told the Padres staff that he was fine after the inning, but when he returned in the seventh inning, he started to experience shoulder tightness and he was pulled. He will be re-evaluated on Thursday. The Padres have suffered a number of bullpen injuries. Javy Guerra (UCL) and Matt Strahm (patellar) won't be ready for the start of the season. Williams could be one of the team's setup men behind Austin Adams and Keone Kela if he stays healthy.
