Williams had his contract selected by the Orioles on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has already appeared at the major-league level on five different occasions with his most recent stint coming in 2019 with the Orioles, when the outfielder hit .267/.300/.624 with two RBI in 11 games. He's expected to be a fifth outfielder at best.

Williams was added to the Orioles' 60-man player pool Wednesday, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has played parts of five seasons in the majors but has appeared in a total of just 87 games, including 11 with the Orioles last season. He's a career .286 hitter in limited action, but his batting average has been rather empty, as it's part of an overall .286/.325/.382 slash line. He's unlikely to be more than a bench option in Baltimore this season.

Williams (knee) was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday and elected free agency.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was called up to the majors at the beginning of September, but missed the second half of the month with a bruised knee. The 28-year-old hit .267/.324/.300 in 11 major-league games in 2019.

Williams' knee remains too sore for him to return this weekend, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams apparently played his final game of the year back on Sept. 17, when he bruised his knee after crashing into the outfield wall. He'll finish the year having hit .267/.324/.300 in 11 big-league games.

Williams (knee) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has been out of the lineup since running into the outfield wall on Tuesday. Last reports indicate that Williams was struggling to walk under his own power, so the team may continue to take a cautious approach. Austin Hays has taken over in center field in Williams' absence.

Williams is sitting Wednesday against the Blue Jays due to a bruised left knee, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams suffered the injury when running into the outfield wall Tuesday. Initial fears of a concussion proved thankfully unounded, but he didn't escape without injury. It's not clear how much time he'll need to miss, but he could barely walk Wednesday, so he may need a few days to recover.

Williams (head) will sit Wednesday against the Blue Jays, source reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams didn't show concussion symptoms after crashing into the outfield wall Tuesday, but he'll wind up sitting for at least one game. He doesn't have a regular role in the Orioles' lineup, though, so it's not entirely clear whether or not his absence is injury-related.

Williams didn't show concussion symptoms after running into the outfield wall Tuesday but will be monitored overnight nonetheless, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He hit his head and knee when colliding with the outfield wall and had to exit the game. Williams was 2-for-4 prior to suffering the injury.

Williams left Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays after injuring himself in the field, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The nature of the injury is unclear, but he ran full speed into the outfield fence while trying to make a play and then immediately left the game. He was 2-for-4 prior to exiting.

Williams will be promoted from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has spent the entire season with Norfolk, slashing .209/.372/.481 with 18 home runs and four steals (in seven attempts) across 120 games for the Tides. The 28-year-old hit .293 in 51 games with the Reds last season and could garner some starts in the outfield for the Orioles down the stretch, though he'll likely fill a bench role. Baltimore will need to clear a spot on its 40-man roster before officially promoting Williams.
