Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Williams made 30 starts for the Nationals last season, which was just the second time in the 31-year-old's career that he's reached that plateau. It looked like the right-hander was going to be at least passable for the first two months of the season when he held a 3.93 ERA, but a 5.15 FIP was the better indicator of his performance and, sure enough, his ERA climbed to 6.55 the rest of the way (which included a 12.51 ERA in September). Williams is owed $7 million in 2024 and the Nats aren't exactly teeming with starting pitcher options, so he'll probably begin the year in the rotation. However, the odds that he'll end the year still in the rotation wouldn't appear high. Read Past Outlooks
Set for rehab start Tuesday
Williams (elbow) will make a rehab start for Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday and remains confident he'll pitch again for the Nationals before the end of the season, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander is expected to throw about four innings and build up to 65-to-70 pitches Tuesday. Nationals manager Dave Martinez hinted that Williams might need to make a second rehab start before being activated from the 60-day injured list, with 80 pitches as the target. Williams landed on the IL after a May 30 start against Atlanta due to a right flexor strain, but the pending free agent was having an outstanding campaign to that point, posting a 5-0 record in 11 starts with a 2.22 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 47:16 K:BB through 56.2 innings. He could return to the Washington rotation for a road series against the Cubs that runs Sept. 19 through 22.

2015
Williams spent the past two years as a swingman for the Cubs and Mets, and he was a reliable option with a 3.21 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 84:23 K:BB across 89.2 innings during 2022. The right-hander landed a two-year deal with the Nationals and is poised to move back into the rotation, where he spent the first four seasons of his big-league career. Williams' 22.4 percent strikeout rate over the past two years is solid, albeit unexciting, and it's paired with a 6.9 percent walk rate. He'll turn 31 years old in April and is likely to maintain his low-90s fastball, and a return to the rotation shouldn't affect his arsenal too much given he doesn't heavily rely on his velocity. Williams' fantasy utility is limited, but he could have some value as a depth starter if he's able to replicate his 2022 numbers in a larger sample size.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Strong trade candidate
Williams, who is on the 15-day injured list with a right flexor strain, is expected to be a popular trade target for contending teams this summer, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
The veteran right-hander landed on the injured list last week, but prior to that he was one of the better stories of the first half of the season. Williams posted a 5.55 ERA in 30 starts for Washington last year, but in 2024 he has a 2.22 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 47:16 K:BB across 56.2 innings. The 32-year-old is set to become a free agent after the season and could be a strong trade rental for contending teams, assuming he doesn't spend too long on the shelf.
