	Gavin Williams SP - CLE	DJ Herz SP - WSH
News
	Gavin Williams didn't have his sharpest command, but he still missed plenty of bats and kept Cleveland in position to win. Matthew Adam Mon, Sep 7th	DJ Herz threw a bullpen session last Friday. Ari Koslow Tue, Sep 8th
	Gavin Williams allowed zero earned runs on two hits and one walk while striking out 13 over seven innings in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Blue Jays. Matthew Adam Wed, Sep 2nd	DJ Herz progressed to a rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester. Ari Koslow Thu, Sep 3rd

Notes
	Gavin Williams re-established himself as a high-upside rotation anchor in 2025, posting a 3.06 ERA and 3.8 WAR across 167.2 innings. If his 2026 projections forecast even modest gains in command, Williams profiles as a fantasy riser with SP2 upside; however, without tangible walk-rate improvement, he remains a ratio-risk arm despite the strikeout ceiling.
