Guardians' Gavin Williams: Confirmed for Game 5 start
Williams will start Game 5 of the ALDS versus the White Sox on Saturday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
Williams finished out the Guardians' Game 4 victory Thursday, throwing 18 pitches in a scoreless inning on what would have typically been his bullpen day. That appearance will not, however, prevent him from starting Saturday's winner-take-all contest. Williams struck out 11 and was charged with two runs over five-plus innings in Game 2, taking a no-decision. He will be opposed by Sean Burke in Game 5.

Guardians' Gavin Williams: Punches out 11 in Game 2
Williams didn't factor into the decision in Game 2 of the ALDS against the White Sox on Monday. He struck out 11 and gave up two runs on four hits and three walks.
After firing a clean top of the first frame, the Guardians handed Williams a 2-0 lead, which he maintained through five innings. The right-hander was pulled at 98 pitches (59 strikes) after surrendering a leadoff single to begin the sixth, and that runner came around to score as Chicago took a 3-2 advantage in the frame. Williams now lines up to start a potential Game 5, but Cleveland will need to win the next two games on the road to get there.

Guardians' Gavin Williams: Allows four runs in no-decision
Williams did not factor into decision in the Guardians' 12-9 win over the Royals on Friday. He allowed four runs on five hits and four walks. He struck out four.
Williams recorded his shortest start Friday since he lasted just 1.1 innings against the Angels on Aug. 25. The right-hander had trouble against Carter Jensen, giving up three RBI to the catcher, including a two-run homer in the second. Assuming this is his final start this season, Williams has posted a 14-8 record, 3.76 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 248:61 K:BB in 184.1 innings.

Guardians' Gavin Williams: Dominant effort in win
Williams (14-8) earned the win against the Athletics on Sunday, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out nine over seven scoreless innings.
Williams breezed through seven scoreless frames, throwing 63 of 89 pitches for strikes with a whopping 21 whiffs. It continued a stellar September for the 27-year-old, who's yielded just four earned runs over four outings spanning 25 innings while logging three quality starts and racking up 40 punchouts. He's compiled a 3.63 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 244:57 K:BB across 181 innings this season and lines up for his final start of the regular season on the road against Kansas City next weekend.

Guardians' Gavin Williams: Seven Ks in tough-luck loss
Williams (13-8) took the loss Monday against the White Sox, striking out seven while allowing two runs on four hits and three walks in five innings.
Williams didn't work particularly efficiently Monday, needing a season-high 113 pitches to complete five innings. It's possible the right-hander had a longer leash after receiving a few days of extra rest in between starts, and he's now tossed at least five innings while conceding fewer than three runs in three straight outings to open the month of September. He's lined up for a soft home matchup against the Athletics over the weekend, holding a 3.78 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 235:56 K:BB over 174 innings.

Guardians' Gavin Williams: Next start coming Monday
Williams is slated to make his next start Monday against the White Sox in Cleveland, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
After delivering his eighth double-digit strikeouts performance in his last 11 starts during his most recent appearance this past Sunday versus Detroit, Williams won't end up pitching this week. Instead, the Guardians will bump Williams back from his normally scheduled turn through the rotation Saturday against the Twins to have him start Monday in the series opener versus the White Sox, who currently hold a half-game lead atop the AL Central standings. Williams will tentatively line up for two starts next week, with his second turn set to come Sept. 20 versus the Athletics.

Guardians' Gavin Williams: Punches out 11 on Sunday
Williams allowed two runs on four hits and three walks over six innings in a no-decision Sunday against the Tigers. He struck out 11.
Williams has now logged double-digit strikeouts in eight of his last 11 outings. After he was tagged for five runs in just 1.1 innings on Aug. 25 against the Angels, Williams has given up just three runs (two earned) on six hits across 13 innings in his subsequent two starts. His ERA now sits at 3.78 through 29 starts (169 innings) this year with a 1.09 WHIP and an MLB-leading 228 strikeouts. Williams is currently lined up to face the Twins on the road his next time out.

Guardians' Gavin Williams: Career-high 13 strikeouts in win
Williams (13-7) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, allowing one unearned run on two hits and one walk while striking out 13 across seven innings.
It was a nearly flawless performance from Williams, who capped off Tuesday's start by striking out five of the last six batters he faced. The one blemish to his night was a wild pitch in the fifth inning that allowed Kazuma Okamoto to score, but it was an otherwise spectacular night from Williams and a nice bounce back from his last outing against the Angels on Aug. 25, when he failed to make it out of the second inning. Williams' 13 wins are a career high, and he'll take a 3.81 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 163 innings into his next start, tentatively slated for this weekend at home against Detroit.

Guardians' Gavin Williams: Can't escape second inning
Williams didn't factor into the decision in the Guardians' 8-6 extra-inning win over the Angels on Tuesday. He allowed five runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three over 1.1 innings.
Williams endured his shortest start of the season, surrendering a pair of home runs while needing 62 pitches (39 strikes) to record just four outs. Christian Moore and Vaughn Grissom both took him deep as Los Angeles built an early lead, but Cleveland's offense eventually erased the deficit to get Williams off the hook. The right-hander had been pitching reasonably well before Tuesday, but this disastrous outing pushed his ERA from 3.72 to 3.98. He's scheduled to make his next start at home against the Blue Jays.

Guardians' Gavin Williams: Continues racking up strikeouts
Williams (12-7) notched the win against the Giants on Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out 11.
Williams dominated at times, touching 100 mph with his fastball while generating 18 whiffs, but San Francisco managed to get to him for a pair of runs in the fourth inning. The right-hander continues to be a strikeout artist, fanning double-digit hitters in six of his last eight outings. Williams, who is tied with Dylan Cease for the AL lead in punchouts, will take a 3.72 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 201:48 K:BB over 154.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the Angels in Anaheim.

Guardians' Gavin Williams: Surrenders five runs in loss
Williams (11-7) took the loss Friday against the Padres after allowing five runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings.
Williams was handed a 3-0 lead after the first three innings but couldn't protect it. The right-hander surrendered a two-run homer to Xander Bogaerts in the fourth before Fernando Tatis took him deep to open the fifth, and he was ultimately removed following a two-run double from Luis Campusano. The rough outing was the third straight start in which he's failed to complete six innings, a stretch that has pushed his ERA from 3.55 to 3.74. He's scheduled to make his next start at home against the Giants.

Guardians' Gavin Williams: Strikes out seven in no-decision
Williams allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox on Saturday.
Williams was sharp for most of this outing, but he allowed a solo home run to Munetaka Murakami in the sixth inning and couldn't get back on track after that. Williams left after 102 pitches (68 strikes), only for Colin Holderman to fail to get the last out in the sixth, tacking one more run onto Williams' line. Over his last four outings, Williams has allowed four runs across 25.1 innings with 40:4 K:BB, accounting for one of his sharpest stretches of the season. He's at a 3.55 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 185:41 K:BB through 144.2 innings over 24 starts overall. The 27-year-old right-hander is projected to make his next start at home versus the Padres.
