Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams notched his 13th save of the season in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Diamondbacks. Williams entered the game to close things out up by two. He got the first out on a strikeout, allowed a walk, and ended the game on a double play. The 28-year-old has now converted all but one of his save opportunities with a 1.82 ERA, 12.77 K/9 rate, and 5.11 BB/9 rate. He should continue to be a middle-to-high-end fantasy closer, although fantasy managers probably wish he would get a few more opportunities to provide value.

Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams turned in his first dud of the season in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Twins. Williams came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth up by two. He allowed a leadoff solo home run, walked a hitter, and then allowed a game-tying RBI single before allowing the game-winning two-run home run. It was a complete disaster for the 28-year-old, but it was his first blown save of the season compared to 10 converted saves. He has pitched well overall with a 2.08 ERA, a 12.46 K/9 rate, and a 4.57 BB/9 rate. The walks are a bit of an issue, but the real issue has been Williams' relative lack of save opportunities overall this season. He remains a high-end closer, but his fantasy value has been limited due to a lack of opportunity to this point.

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Devin Williams successfully sealed the game against the Blue Jays by delivering a scoreless ninth inning, securing his ninth save of the season. Although this outing may not have been filled with strikeouts as expected from Williams, he adeptly handled the situation and came out on top. Williams has not allowed a single run in his last six appearances. As a result, his ERA now stands at an impressive 0.51 in 17 games.

Milwaukee Brewers All-Star closer Devin Williams recorded his ninth save of the season in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Williams surrendered a leadoff double in that ninth to Daulton Varsho but retired the next three batters in order to seal the win. The 28-year-old has been one of the most electric relievers in the game as demonstrated by his 0.51 ERA through 17 2/3 innings. He has made 17 appearances while striking out 22 batters with just seven walks. Williams owns a 34.9% strikeout rate, 11.1% walk rate, and a .125 opponent average. Despite the struggles of the Brewers' offense, the pitching staff has kept them in contention, and Williams has been a big part of their success on the mound.

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams secured a 6-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays with a multi-inning save on Sunday. Williams entered the game with two outs in the eight and runners at second and first. He walked a batter, but got out of the inning unscathed. He pitched around another walk in the ninth to lock down the win. Saves have been hard to come by for Williams, who picked up just his second of May in this one. It has nothing to do with his performance, though, as he has pitched to an immaculate 0.59 ERA and 0.85 WHIP with 19 strikeouts in 15 IP. The righty should continue to be an elite closing option all season, and the save chances will come eventually.

Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams secured his sixth save of the season in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Cardinals. Williams came on in the eighth inning up by one with one out and runners on first and third. The runner advanced to second on a stolen base, but Williams proceeded to get a strikeout and groundout. He got the first two outs in the ninth on a flyout and strikeout, allowed a double, intentionally walked Nolan Arenado, and ended the game on a groundout. While he hasn't had much opportunity for saves to this point, Williams has been excellent, converting all save opportunities with a 0.64 ERA and a 12.21 K/9 rate. He remains a solid fantasy option, although a second-tier one given the lack of overall opportunities.

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Devin Williams allowed one hit while striking out one across a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Boston Red Sox. In the ninth inning, he entered Saturday's contest to protect a one-run lead. The 28-year-old retired three of four hitters he faced to log his third save of 2023. He is a perfect 3-for-3 in save chances with a 1.00 WHIP and 12 strikeouts over seven scoreless innings. Williams is one of the best closers in the game, and fantasy managers should continue to start him in all league formats.

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams delivered a 7-6 win over the New York Mets Wednesday. Williams only pitched the ninth inning to secure the win. He hadn't been on the mound since April 1st due to a bruised bicep. The-28-year-old pitched for the United States in the World Baseball Classic and collected 15 saves last season. Williams should easily eclipse the 15-save mark as he won't have to compete against Josh Hader, who was dealt to the Padres.

Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams (elbow) was struck in the right elbow by a comebacker in the ninth inning of Saturday's win over the Chicago Cubs. Williams told reporters that "It glanced off but it didn't feel too good. When they came out there, I told them, 'Just let me pitch.' We're going to work on it today and see if I can get it ready." It sounds like the elite closer avoided serious injury but he should still be considered day-to-day for now. If he's experiencing any pain pre-game the Brewers will likely play it safe and give him the day off. Stay tuned for further updates.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Devin Williams allowed two hits while striking out two over a scoreless inning to earn the save during Saturday's 3-1 win over the Chicago Cubs. He allowed a pair of singles to start the ninth inning but settled down by getting Cody Bellinger to ground into a double play and strike out Miles Mastrobuoni to seal the victory. It was his first save of the season. The 28-year-old struck out 87 batters while racking up 15 saves for the Brewers in 2022. Williams is Milwaukee's primary closer and a must-start in all league formats.

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Devin Williams recorded his 13th save of the season on Saturday night as his club defeated the Yankees 4-1. The right-hander needed 12 pitches to retire the side in order as he got a groundout and a pair of strikeouts to take his ERA to a crisp 1.76 on the season. Williams hasn't given up more than one run in an outing since May 10 as he continues to work as the team's primary closer since the deadline departure of Josh Hader. His 0.94 WHIP and 86/25 K/BB through 56 1/3 will make him a desirable reliever option for drafters looking ahead to the 2023 season.

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams picked up his 10th save of the season in Monday's 6-4 win over the Rockies. Williams came into the game in the eighth inning up by two with two outs and the bases loaded. He induced a groundout to end the inning and stayed in to pitch the ninth. He allowed a leadoff walk, got the first out on a strikeout, and then induced a groundball double play to end the game. Williams hasn't necessarily served as the closer since Josh Hader was traded to the Padres, but he has been the team's go-to arm in high-leverage situations and is now 6-3 with 25 holds, only one blown save, a 1.72 ERA, and a 13.76 K/9 rate. Regardless of the lack of an official title, Williams is a top fantasy reliever down the stretch.

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Devin Williams struck out the side over a scoreless inning to earn the save during Thursday's 5-3 win against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He entered the game in the ninth inning to protect a two-run lead. The 27-year-old needed 12 pitches to notch his eighth save of the year. He hasn't allowed a run over his last seven appearances. The 2020 National League Rookie of the Year owns a 1.55 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and a 75:19 K: BB across 46 1/3 innings in 2022. Williams has performed well as Milwaukee's primary closer, and fantasy managers should continue to roll with the right-hander in all league formats.

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams inherited at least an increased share of the closer role when Josh Hader was dealt to the San Diego Padres, and he locked down his seventh game against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday, striking out both batters he faced. Williams has pitched in three consecutive games since being promoted, and each of his last two outings have been much more steady than his first opportunity since the trade deadline when he was charged with a blown save. He now has a 1.74 ERA and 1.02 WHIP with 68 strikeouts in 41 1/3 innings this year and should be rostered in all formats.

Entering the Milwaukee Brewers weekend series with the San Diego Padres, reliever Devin Williams has gone nine consecutive appearances without giving up a run while allowing four hits, two walks and striking out 16 batters. Williams' numbers are impressive in 2022 -- he ranks in the 99th percentile in whiff rate, the 99th percentile in strikeout rate and the 75th percentile in chase rate. Williams is striking out 40.2% of batters that he faces in 2022 while allowing just an average exit velocity of 82.8 mph. For leagues with deeper rosters, Williams is a worthy addition as a free agent. With closer Josh Hader around, Williams' value decreases without consistent save opportunities.

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams picked up his second save of the season in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Reds. Williams entered the game to pitch the ninth inning with a three-run lead and pitched a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout. The team's closer, Josh Hader (back) was unavailable due to back spasms and is considered day-to-day. Williams has been a solid reliever in the past and has now converted both of his save opportunities with a 3.86 ERA, 17 strikeouts, and eight walks in 9 1/3 innings pitched. Williams will gain fantasy value if Hader ends up missing any time.

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams is set to receive a couple of days off. "I think he got a little tired tonight so we'll probably have to give him a couple of days off here, but we kind of knew that would be the case if we used him tonight. He was probably a little tired by the end of the outing, for sure," manager Craig Counsell said. Williams has thrown on back-to-back days and allowed two earned runs on two hits, a walk and a hit by pitch in just one-third of an inning on Wednesday in the win over the Baltimore Orioles, although he picked up his third hold of the season in the process. The hard-throwing right-hander has struck out six hitters in his first 2 1/3 innings of the season, and the Brewers are just monitoring his workload early on. Williams will remain an excellent source of K's and holds.

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams, who was the National League Reliever of the Year in 2020, has been working on a cutter/slider that breaks in the opposite direction from his changeup. The hard-throwing right-hander broke his new pitch out in spring action on Friday and struck out three straight Oakland Athletics hitters. "I don't know how much I'll use it," Williams said, "but it will be there somewhere, for sure." The 27-year-old threw the pitch eight times on Friday, all to left-handed hitters. His changeup is still his bread and butter, but Williams could be even more unhittable in 2022 if his new pitch continues to get those kind of results. Despite not being Milwaukee's closer, Williams remains fantasy relevant in all leagues for his strikeout stuff and for holds.

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams is working on a slider/cutter for the 2022 season. Williams threw a slider in the minors but abandoned it in the majors because the baseballs have lower seams. He worked on the pitch all winter and thinks it could be a third weapon to complement his fastball and changeup. The hard-throwing right-hander is already one of the nastier relief arms in baseball, and this new pitch could make him that much more filthy if it's effective. Williams was the National League Rookie of the Year in 2020 and had a 2.50 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 87 strikeouts and three saves in 54 relief innings in 2021. Already fantasy relevant for his K's and holds, Williams would be even more attractive as a closer if the Brewers were to trade Josh Hader.

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams (hand) underwent surgery on his broken right hand on Friday. He is currently wearing a splint and we certainly won't be seeing him in the NLDS as the Brewers face the Atlanta Braves. However, David Stearns, the Brewers' President of Baseball Operations, stated last week that Williams could potentially be available if the team advances to the World Series. Of course, that would require Williams to contain his excitement throughout a Brewers playoff run. The 27-year-old broke his hand while punching a wall during a celebration of the team's NL Central title.
