This season, he is 5-0 with a 2.22 ERA while allowing only two home runs over 56 2\/3 innings. The right-hander seemed to have redeemed himself after a rough 2023 season where he finished with a 5.55 ERA and gave up a league-worst 34 homers. According to <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.masnsports.com\/blog\/williams-set-to-make-rehab-start-tuesday-for-harrisburg\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MASN&#8217;s Mark Zuckerman<\/a>, Williams is determined to make sure he pitches again for Washington before the season ends. He is also a pending free agent who was never going to be viewed as a part of the long-term plan. However, the Nationals could re-sign him as the No. 5 starter or a long reliever.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Williams made his MLB debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates in September 2016 and played for the team until 2020. He then signed a one-year deal with the Chicago Cubs in February 2021. The Cubs then traded Williams and veteran Javier Baez to the New York Mets for Pete Crow-Armstrong that July. The right-hander recorded his first career save with the Mets in July 2022. After that season, he signed a two-year, $13 million contract with Washington in December.<\/p>\r\n<p>Born in San Diego, the Miami Marlins selected Williams out of Arizona State in the second round of the 2013 MLB Draft. He then got experience within the Marlins&#8217; farm system before getting traded to Pittsburgh in October 2015. Williams spent a majority of the 2016 season with Triple-A Indianapolis before being promoted to the majors in September.<\/p>\r\n<p>Main Photo Credits: Brett Davis-Imagn Images<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday afternoon, the Washington Nationals announced that veteran starter Trevor Williams\u00a0will make a rehab start for Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday, according to multiple sources.
