Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy said the reasoning for sticking with left-hander Jared Koenig in the extra-inning loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday was because the team was closely monitoring closer Devin Williams' workload and wanted to get him up in case there was a spot to face a hitter or two, at the most. Williams got up in the bullpen but then sat back down, and the Brewers felt good about Koenig's chances after a clean ninth inning. However, Koenig proceeded to allow three runs (two earned) on four hits to take the loss. Williams got up in the bullpen two separate times but ultimately was not used after pitching last Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. The 29-year-old two-time All-Star missed all of the first half due to a back injury but has been great with a 1.53 ERA, 12 saves and 32 strikeouts in 17 2/3 relief innings in the second half.
Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that closer Devin Williams (shoulder) is dealing with a left-shoulder injury. "He got up this morning and his left shoulder, he didn't feel right," Murphy said. The Brewers had the day off on Monday, so it's unclear if the injury to Williams' non-throwing shoulder will require him to be unavailable when the team's series starts on Tuesday against the visiting San Francisco Giants. The injury did keep the 29-year-old from appearing in Sunday's series finale against the Oakland Athletics, though, after he felt a pinch when he woke up on Sunday, likely a result of sleeping on his arm wrong. For now, consider Williams to be day-to-day. If he cannot pitch to start the series against San Francisco or if he ends up on the injured list, right-hander Trevor Megill would likely see any save chances that pop up for Milwaukee.
Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams earned his fifth save of the season as his team beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2. Williams allowed two hits and struck out the side in the ninth inning. Williams, who missed most of the season recovering from a back injury, has not missed a beat since returning at the end of July. In eight games (8 IP), he has a 1.13 ERA, a 0.88 WHIP, 14 K, and is 5-for-5 in save opportunities. He looks like he's back to his old self and has regained his title as one of the game's best relief pitchers.
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Devin Williams tossed a scoreless ninth inning to preserve a 5-4 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Williams did not allow a baserunner while notching one strikeout in the frame. The 29-year-old was just activated from the 60-day injured list on July 28 after he missed most of the year with a stress fracture in his back. He has looked solid in the ninth-inning role for the Brewers so far, having allowed just one run over five innings of work while striking out nine and picking up two saves. Williams should be a good source of saves for the NL Central-leading Brewers over the remainder of the season.
Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams (back) has been activated off the 60-day IL and will make his 2024 season debut on Sunday afternoon against the Miami Marlins. Williams was sidelined during the first four months of the season due to multiple stress fractures in his back. The right-hander made four rehab appearances over the past two weeks and tossed four shutout innings with six punchouts. Last season, the 29-year-old was one of the best closers in fantasy, boasting a 1.53 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and a 28:97 BB:K ratio. Williams should immediately be put into your starting lineup and has a strong chance to tally the most saves during the remainder of the summer.
