Devin Williams's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.

Milwaukee Brewers general manager Matt Arnold said on Friday that closer Devin Williams (back) is expected to come off the 60-day injured list "in the next few days." Williams missed the entire first half of the 2024 season due to multiple stress fractures in his back, but he's worked his way back and is now on the cusp of rejoining Milwaukee's bullpen. While the 29-year-old could be eased back into high-leverage situations at the end of the game, he's fully expected to return to full-time closing duties in Milwaukee when the club feels he's ready. It means that fantasy managers that have been riding Trevor Megill all year are going to have to move in another direction soon. Williams was an All-Star in each of the last two years for the Brew Crew while posting a stingy 1.73 ERA, a 0.96 WHIP, 51 saves and a 183:58 K:BB in 119 1/3 innings. If he's on your league's waiver wire, grab him ASAP.

Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams (back) will start a minor-league rehab assignment with High-A Wisconsin on Saturday, according to the team. Williams threw a live batting practice session on Tuesday and has now been cleared to start a rehab assignment as he works his way back from two stress fractures in his back. The 29-year-old right-handed reliever has been out all year and probably isn't going to rejoin Milwaukee's bullpen right away after next week's All-Star break, but he's certainly getting close to making his 2024 debut. However, barring a setback, Williams could come off the 60-day injured in late July and will be eased back into regular closing duties for the Brew Crew. The two-time All-Star should be stashed in all fantasy leagues. In the meantime, Trevor Megill will continue to serve as Milwaukee's fill-in closer.
