Eligibility
Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams tossed a perfect ninth inning Thursday, striking out the side and picking up his first save of the season in the Brewers' 3-2 win over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
Williams has recorded six consecutive scoreless appearances out of the bullpen for Milwaukee, lowering his batting average against from .294 to .226 in that span. The setup man still provides plenty of fantasy value, with 16 strikeouts in 10 appearances this season, and would receive plenty of save opportunities if closer Josh Hader were to land on the injured list.

Fantasy Impact
Williams broke his hand while celebrating the Brewers' postseason birth. His absence certainly hurts Milwaukee's pitching staff for the playoffs. The 27-year-old wasn't as dominant this season as he was in 2020, but he was still very effective. There's a chance he could return for the World Series if the Brewers advance that far.
