Carson Williams Worth Picking Up Following Recent Promotion?
Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Carson Williams was recently promoted for his second stint in the majors this season. Although he was hitting just .238 in Triple-A, fantasy managers should still consider rostering him because of his power upside. Williams homered five times across 32 Triple-A games this year, salvaging a 93 wRC+. His 30.% strikeout rate is problematic, but he did walk at a 12.1% clip. There's no denying that he hits the ball hard with power, as evidenced by his 111.4 mph maximum exit velocity (85th percentile) and 10.4% barrel rate (80th percentile). Still available in almost every fantasy league, Williams represents an intriguing waiver wire pick-up for managers seeking a power surge. He could get into the lineup on Monday against Orioles left-handed pitcher Trevor Rogers.
