Williams allowed three first inning runs during Friday's loss to the Cubs. He didn't factor into the decision and struck out three batters over five frames.
Tyler Glasnow's recent demotion to the minors has paved the way for Williams to stick in the rotation. Williams owns a 5.16 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 5.9 K/9 for the year, and his 4.66 FIP isn't an encouraging mark, either. It's probably safe to ignore Williams outside of cavernous mixed and NL-only settings at this stage of the game. He projects to face the Brewers at Miller Park in his next start.
