Williams was reassigned Tuesday to minor-league camp by the Mariners, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams re-signed with the Mariners at the end of January, and the right-hander impressed with Tacoma over 23.2 innings with a 1.14 ERA and 23 strikeouts against seven walks. He could help the Seattle bullpen in 2023, but will need to be added to the 40-man roster.

Williams has re-signed with the Mariners on a minor-league contract with an invitation to major-league spring training.
EDGE Analysis
Williams joined the Mariners organization last July after being cut loose by the Giants, and he went on to post a 1.14 ERA with 23 strikeouts and only seven walks across 23.2 innings at Triple-A Tacoma. The 31-year-old right-hander hasn't appeared in a big-league game since 2021, but that could very well change in 2023.

The Mariners signed Williams to a minor-league contract Friday, Paul Braverman of the Tacoma Rainiers reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being cut by the Giants on July 17, Williams will report to Triple-A Tacoma after striking a deal with the Mariners on Friday. The right-hander has compiled a 6.81 ERA and 1.71 WHIP with 45 strikeouts over 39.2 innings in 27 appearances including three starts with Triple-A Sacramento this year.

The Giants released Williams from his minor-league deal Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams had some fleeting fantasy relevance in 2020 when he picked up six saves for the Mariners, but he's struggled just to maintain a spot in a big-league bullpen in the two seasons since. He was unable to earn a look with the Giants at any point in 2022 before the organization elected to cut ties with him after he submitted a 6.81 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 45:17 K:BB in 39.2 innings with Triple-A Sacramento.

Williams was signed to a minor-league contract with the Giants on Sunday, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports. He is at their training camp as a non-roster invitee.
EDGE Analysis
Williams split time between the Padres and the Marlins last season, posting a 4.63 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 9:8 K:BB across 11.2 innings. The right-hander will compete for a job in the major-league bullpen this season, but he'll likely start the year with Triple-A Sacramento.

The Marlins outrighted Williams to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams will finish the season as a member of the Miami organization after none of baseball's other 29 teams were willing to put in a waiver claim for the reliever when he was designated for assignment last week. Before losing his spot on the 40-man roster, Williams made six appearances out of the Miami bullpen, giving up six runs (five earned) in 6.1 innings.

Williams was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams was claimed off waivers by the Marlins in early September, and he was removed from the 40-man roster after surrendering five runs on nine hits with a 3:5 K:BB over 6.1 innings. The 30-year-old could head to Triple-A Jacksonville if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Williams was claimed off waivers by the Marlins on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams was cast off the Padres' 40-man roster Friday, but he'll presumably join Miami's major-league bullpen after infielder Deven Marrero was designated for assignment Monday. The right-hander has pitched well in a limited sample in the big leagues this year, as he's recorded a 1.69 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 5.1 innings.

Williams was designated for assignment by the Padres on Friday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams was reinstated from the 60-day IL on Wednesday, but he didn't make an appearance following his activation. He was effective across five relief appearances in the majors this year and posted a 1.69 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 5.1 innings, but he'll be cast off the 40-man roster after right-hander Jake Arrieta (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day IL on Friday.

Williams (knee) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams had been on the injured list since mid-April due to knee inflammation, but he joined Triple-A El Paso on a rehab assignment in early August. Across nine rehab appearances, the right-hander posted a 6.75 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 13.1 innings. He was used in a versatile role out of the bullpen during his limited sample early in the year and will be available in some setup situations if needed.
