Full stats on FanGraphs →Injury Report
2 entriesShoulder injury has sidelined Williams and opened the Mets' ninth inning to a committee. Kodai Senga converted his first save under the new arrangement on Aug. 10, with Daniel Duarte and Nate Lavender also in the mix. IL-15 designation suggests a potential return within two weeks.
Placed on the 15-day IL retroactive to August 8 with a right shoulder strain, five days after he was held out of a game with arm fatigue. Manager Andy Green does not consider the situation long-term serious. Williams carries 16 saves and 3 blown saves in 38.2 IP this year (4.66 ERA, 3.09 FIP). If the retroactive date holds, he's eligible to return around August 23.
Stash of the Week
1 entryDevin Williams has quietly seized the Mets' ninth-inning role — 6 saves with a sub-1.00 ERA over his last 7.2 IP. Closer Monkey notes he's 'scoreless in 8 consecutive games' with a 37.5% K-BB rate. He's still rostered in only 60% of leagues, which means 40% of fantasy managers can grab one of the most dominant closers in baseball for the cost of a waiver claim. The Mets' lineup is producing nightly, which keeps the save volume coming. Top-7 RP rest of season — claim in any league he's still floating.
