Williams was 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in his major league debut against Baltimore on Friday night. It was an interesting night for Williams who struck out in his first at bat, and then lined a ball into the seats in straight-away right field in his next trip. He also misplayed a line drive to centerfield into a double in the next inning before being lifted for a pinch-hitter. The Yankees will take the opportunity to see how close he is to ready as they await the return of Jacoby Ellsbury.
