Gavin Williams had a tough outing against the Giants on Monday, allowing five hits and four walks over six innings pitched.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the lack of control, Williams managed to limit the damage to three earned runs while striking out two. The loss dropped his season record to 2-5, but his overall numbers remain respectable with a 3.43 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP. Williams will need to improve his command moving forward, as evidenced by his 4.26 FIP and 2.11 strikeout-to-walk ratio, but his ability to keep hitters off balance with a .270 BABIP suggests he has the potential to bounce back in future starts. Fantasy owners should monitor his progress closely.
