Devin Williams Struggles Again on Thursday, Allows Three Hits and a Run
New York Mets closer Devin Williams struggled again on Thursday against the Twins, pitching the top of the ninth and going two-thirds of an inning while allowing three hits, one earned run, and striking out two to earn the win, albeit not pitching all that well. Williams, on the season, now owns a 10.29 ERA and 2.86 WHIP in nine appearances and seven innings pitched. While he does have a fantastic 31.7 percent strikeout rate, the control and overall dominance that he once had with the Milwaukee Brewers appear to be fading quickly. After a poor 2025 season with the Yankees (Career high 4.79 ERA), Williams signed with the Mets this past offseason, hoping for a fresh start, and things aren't getting any better for him with the Mets. Considering the 3-year, $51 million contract he signed with the Mets, it's likely Williams will have a longer leash than others, but he needs to turn it around quickly. Fantasy managers who drafted Williams, likely as a top closer, will need to hold on and hope he figures it out, as closers in the MLB are scarce right now with injuries and a lack of quality around the league.
