The Nationals announced a series of rosters this morning, with their position as the title of right-handed Trevor Williams On the list of injured 15 days due to a sprained right elbow. Right-handed Ryan Loutos Recalled to Major League Baseball roster to replace Williams. Additional moves, Washington activates catcher Keibert Ruiz From the 7-day list of injuries related to concussion and selected catchers Drew Millas Go to Triple-A.
Williams, 33, became part of the national rotation throughout the year, but his grades struggled hard. Righty has a 6.21 ERA in 17 games this year and 82 2/3 innings. This is the third lineup of baseball baseball in pitchers with at least 80 innings this year. The result is cruel, and perhaps notably, Williams becomes very unfortunate based on the underlying indicators. His .347 BABIP allows nearly fifty more than his career, and a 61.6% stock rate also suggests he is also a victim of poor sequencing. Williams’ 4.08 FIP and 4.45 FIP based on his performances put him as the fifth starter on average, despite preventing running hardships.
Williams is no different from 2024 in terms of 3-pointers and walking percentage. Last year, he threw a dazzling 2.03 ERA in 66 2/3 innings, but his score was much better than the metrics suggested at the time. To sum it up, Williams’ strong but abbreviated 2024, his first half of the year brutally portrays mid- and late photos of the rotating arm: 30 starts, 4.34 ERA, 3.51 FIP and 4.23 Siera. Maybe one or two pitching clubs will see Williams as a good situation, betting on low-cost flyers this summer, but today’s injury news will put that possibility in a strait.
The exact details of Williams’ injury are not clear, but any injuries involving pitcher elbows are worrying and are usually treated with caution to avoid further damage. Williams believes it will be at least a few weeks out and may miss a longer time. A more clear schedule, he returns the action figures available over time, but Mark Zuckerman of Masn reports that Williams himself suggests the injury is “comparable” Last year, he spent more than three months on flexor muscle pressure. A similar schedule for his recovery this time could end his 2025 campaign.
For the time being, Williams will be replaced by Loutos in the lineup. The right was taken off from the Dodgers’ immunity earlier this year, but he surrendered eight times in just 4 1/3 innings (six innings) during his time in national uniform. He will help eat a inning now, but the club will eventually need to replace Williams. Cade Cavalli and Shinnosuke of Ogasawara Although Cavalli is struggling on Triple-A this year, and Ogasawara is currently pitching in High-A, he is being able to call 40 people despite Cavalli struggling on Triple-A.
As for Ruiz, the catcher was hit by a foul ball in a canoe for 10 days on June 24, but was later transferred to an IL related to a concussion after a headache. He wanted to restore the game time for the Lions behind the plate and Riley Adams Take his backup. NATS has signed Ruiz for eight years so far, with the $50mm extension signing for Ruiz, which has not been completed so far, and he has only hit 0.247/.278/.320 in 66 games this year. Even so, the former highest prospect is still only 26 years old, and given how common it is for the catcher to be a relatively late dress-up at major league level, his number can increase the likelihood.
