Nationals' Trevor Williams: Sharp in return
Trevor Williams (5-1) took the loss Friday against the Cubs, allowing one run on three hits across five innings. He struck out seven.While Williams would ultimately take his first loss of the season, the right-hander seemed to pick up where he left off prior to going on the IL in late May. A Dansby Swanson homer in the first inning proved to be the lone mark against William before he'd blank the Cubs over his final four frames. The 32-year-old Williams boasts a 2.19 ERA with a 1.04 WHIP and 54:16 K:BB across 61.2 innings this season. He'll likely make one more start this season, currently scheduled for next week at home versus the Phillies.

Nationals' Trevor Williams: Set for rehab start Tuesday
Trevor Williams (elbow) will make a rehab start for Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday and remains confident he'll pitch again for the Washington Nationals before the end of the season, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.The right-hander is expected to throw about four innings and build up to 65-to-70 pitches Tuesday.

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.

Nationals' Trevor Williams: Goes to 60-day IL
The Washington Nationals transferred Trevor Williams (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.Williams had been on the 15-day IL since June 4 while recovering from a right flexor strain, so his move to the 60-day IL won't influence his timeline for a return. The right-hander is still on track to be activated before season's end, as he threw 43 pitches in live batting practice Saturday while averaging around 88-to-89 miles per hour with his fastball, per MLB.com. The Nationals plan to have Williams get stretched out to around 50 or 60 pitches through live sessions or minor-league rehab games before bringing him back from the IL, but he may have to settle for a bullpen role after starting in each of his 11 appearances with Washington before being deactivated.

Manager Dave Martinez said Trevor Williams (elbow) will throw to live hitters Saturday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.Williams has been on the shelf since June 4 with a right flexor strain and has been cleared to throw against hitters.

It's unclear if he'll have enough time to be stretched out and rejoin the Washington Nationals rotation.

Nationals' Trevor Williams: Tosses bullpen Wednesday
Trevor Williams (elbow) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.It's the first mound work for the veteran right-hander since he landed on the IL at the end of May with a right flexor muscle strain. Williams threw 20 pitches, all fastballs, and he's still several weeks away from rejoining the Washington Nationals' staff. His timeline could be shortened if the team elects to bring him back as a reliever, and with the 32-year-old set to become a free agent after the season, Washington has little incentive to bump a younger option from the rotation in favor of Williams.

Nationals' Trevor Williams: Not yet ready for mound work
Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Friday that Trevor Williams (elbow) remains limited to throwing off flat ground, adding that it will "be a while" before the right-hander gets back on the mound, MLB.com reports. "He is feeling better, it's just been a slow process," Martinez said.Despite not heading into spring training with a guaranteed rotation spot, Williams was one of the Nationals' top pitchers over the first two months of the season, accruing a 2.22 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across his 11 starts. He was then diagnosed with a right flexor muscle strain in early June and has struggled to shake off the injury, as he's still not progressed to mound work two months later. Even if Williams is given the green light to throw bullpen sessions within the next few days, he'll still need several weeks to get fully stretched back out for starting duty. Williams doesn't look like he'll be a realistic option for the Washington rotation until September, and he might be brought back as a reliever if his rehab process remains slow over the next few weeks.
