PROSPECT: Gavin Williams, SP, Cleveland Guardians
ANALYSIS: Unfortunately, I'm not sure we see him this month unless there's another injury in Cleveland's rotation. Even Cal Quantrill and Peyton Battenfield on the IL, Cleveland still has a full rotation with Aaron Civale and Triston McKenzie recently returning from the IL, and all five arms are pitching well right now.
However, there are some rumblings that Shane Bieber could be dealt at the trade deadline, but that's still nearly two months away.
VERDICT: It does appear that Williams is finally the next man up though and he would be a priority add once he gets the call. Williams has a 2.43 ERA in seven Triple-A starts and a 1.93 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and 35.9% strikeout rate overall.
