Williams had his contract selected by the Dodgers on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams is now on the 40-man roster and will fill the spot on the 26-man roster left vacant by Mookie Betts, who has been placed on the paternity leave list. Williams is not in the starting lineup Tuesday night against the Mets and could be in for a brief stay in the bigs.

Williams signed a minor-league deal with the Dodgers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers earlier in the offseason and will now officially begin the 2023 season in Los Angeles' farm system. The 26-year-old utility man recorded a .883 OPS through 58 plate appearances in Triple-A last year.

The Dodgers claimed Williams off of waivers from Miami on Tuesday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite finding success during his limited appearances in Triple-A last season, where he slashed .327/.414/.469, Williams struggled to carry it over into the majors. Now, he joins a Dodgers organization that is filled with outfield talent, which will give him time to develop more in the minors before being relied on in Los Angeles.

Williams was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams saw minimal playing time for the Marlins in recent weeks, starting just three games since the start of September. He'll lose his spot on the active roster after Joey Wendle (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Williams is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams will be back in his usual bench role for the series finale after he struck out in all three of his at-bats while starting in left field during Sunday's 8-1 loss. The 26-year-old is expected to see occasional starts down the stretch, with most of his opportunities coming against left-handed pitching.

Williams will start at second base and bat ninth in Tuesday's game against the Padres, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams will make his fourth start in five games Tuesday, but his inclusion in the lineup is likely a byproduct of southpaw Sean Manaea taking the hill for Miami. Even though his opportunities have picked up of late, the righty-hitting Williams may have a tough time finding regular starts against right-handed pitching following the recent returns of Jon Berti and Brian Anderson from the injured list.

Williams went 3-for-3 with a double, a run scored and three stolen bases in a 3-0 win over the Reds on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Williams had a perfect night at the plate and on the basepaths, rapping out three hits and making three successful steal attempts. He took advantage of Mike Minor's low velocity, and none of the throws from Reds catcher Michael Papierski were even close to getting him out. The performance gives Williams nine steals on the season to go along with a slash line of .269/.347/.358 in 49 games played. The speedy backup infielder has shown he has the potential to steal bases in bunches but he remains behind call-up Charles Leblanc on the depth chart.

Williams is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

After starting five consecutive games to begin last week while going 2-for-16 with two walks, a stolen base and three runs, Williams now finds himself on the bench for the fourth consecutive contest. The 25-year-old looks set to fill a utility role for the time being while the Marlins give new call-up Charles Leblanc a look as their regular third baseman.

Williams went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

The Marlins ran wild against Cincinnati rookie catcher Michael Papierski, going 3-for-3 on steal attempts, and Williams' pilfer in the fifth inning wound up leading to the winning run after Joey Wendle deposited a two-run single into right field. Williams has started two straight games at third base with Brian Anderson (shoulder) back on the injured list and Jon Berti (groin) still sidelined, and he could offer some short-term fantasy value via his speed -- he's stolen six bags in 74 plate appearances for Miami this season, albeit while hitting a less impressive .265 with one homer, six RBI and 12 runs.

The Marlins recalled Williams from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was optioned to Triple-A two days ago, but he's eligible to rejoin the big club after the Marlins moved Jazz Chisholm (back) to the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Jon Berti is expected to step in for Chisholm as the Marlins' everyday second baseman, while the versatile Williams handles a utility role. Don't expect Williams to see more than a start or two per week, with most of his opportunities likely to come against left-handed pitching.
