The Los Angeles Dodgers re-signed infielder Luke Williams to a minor-league deal on Friday. The Dodgers initially added Williams last November when they claimed him off waivers. The 26-year-old spent time with the San Francisco Giants and Miami Marlins in 2022, slashing a combined .236/.287/.315 with a .602 OPS, one home run, six RBI, 21 runs scored and 11 stolen bases in 136 plate appearances and 79 games in just his second major-league season. In his MLB debut with the Philadelphia Phillies ...

The Los Angeles Dodgers claimed outfielder Luke Williams off waivers on Tuesday from the Miami Marlins. Williams spent the 2022 season with the San Francisco Giants (eight games) and the Marlins, hitting a combined .236/.287/.315 with a homer, six RBI, 21 runs scored and 11 stolen bases in 136 plate appearances and 79 games in his second major-league campaign. The 26-year-old played in just 14 minor league games last year and hit .327 with a homer, eight RBI and nine stolen bases. Given how much...

Miami Marlins utility man Luke Williams stole three bases against the Cincinnati Reds Wednesday, going 3-for-3 with a double and a run scored in the 3-0 victory. Williams has been receiving regular playing time of late, and while he offers very little power with just one home run in 79 at-bats this season, seven of his nine steals have come in the last 30 games, and he could be a solid cheap option for fantasy managers desperate for speed.

The Miami Marlins acquired infielder Luke Williams from the San Francisco Giants on Thursday in exchange for infielder Hayden Cantrelle. Williams played in eight games for the Giants this year, going 3-for-12 with no home runs and three RBI. The Giants designated him for assignment last week. In 66 career games for the Philadelphia Phillies and Giants the last two years, Williams has slashed .245/.308/.318 with one home run, nine RBI, nine runs scored and two stolen bases. The 25-year-old will ...

The San Francisco Giants have acquired infielder and outfielder Luke Williams from the Philadelphia Phillies for minor league infielder Will Toffey and cash considerations. Williams hit .245 with a .315 on-base percentage, one home run, and a pair of stolen bases in 108 plate appearances for the Phillies last season. Capable of playing all four infield positions and the outfield, he'll give the Giants some additional depth on the 40-man roster. Williams collected a hit, an RBI, and a run scored ...

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin, catcher Andrew Knapp and utility player Luke Williams (COVID-19) were placed on the COVID-19 injured list on Friday after receiving positive tests, according to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com. Zolecki adds that these are breakout cases, as all three players are fully vaccinated. Eflin had just been activated from the 10-day injured list on Thursday and was scheduled to start Thursday night, but his knee acted up again forcing him to be scratched ...

Philadelphia Phillies rookie second baseman Luke Williams was moved up to sixth in the batting order Wednesday and rewarded manager Joe Girardi with a 3-for-4 night at the Dodgers. Williams was starting at second base in place of Jean Segura (groin) who landed on the injured list. The 25-year-old rookie should see more starts at the keystone moving forward, but he has the ability to play anywhere on the diamond which could help him stick with the team once Segura returns. If he's getting ...

Philadelphia Phillies infielder/outfielder Luke Williams went 2-for-4 with a walk-off two-run homer on Wednesday. Williams, making his first MLB start after pinch-hitting Tuesday, came up with two outs in the bottom of the ninth against Braves closer Will Smith. The Phillies stuck with the rookie despite being one out away from being shut out; Williams rewarded their confidence with one swing of the bat to deliver a 2-1 win. The 24-year-old doesn't have an everyday role and is expected to fill...
