The Mets list Williams as their starting pitcher for Tuesday's game in Houston, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has made his last two appearances as a reliever, but with Tylor Megill (shoulder) recently returning to the injured list, the Mets will need Williams to step back in the rotation this week. After he makes his sixth start of the season Tuesday, Williams could be headed back to the bullpen. Max Scherzer (oblique) is scheduled to make a rehab start at Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday, and if all goes well, he would be in line to return from the IL to replace Williams in the rotation on Sunday in Miami.

Williams isn't listed among the Mets' starting pitchers for their upcoming three-game series against the Brewers, suggesting he's been moved to a bullpen role, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Due to an off day last Thursday along with Tylor Megill's return from the injured list, the Mets got by with a four-man rotation last week that didn't include either Williams or David Peterson. Both pitchers appeared out of the bullpen during the Mets' three-game weekend series against the Angels, with Williams working in Saturday's 11-6 loss and tossing 0.2 scoreless innings. The Mets will transition back to a five-man rotation this week, but with Peterson set to take the hill Wednesday, Williams looks like he'll maintain a spot in the bullpen as a long-relief option moving forward.

Williams didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 5-4 win against the Dodgers, allowing two runs on six hits with five strikeouts in five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Williams calmed down after surrendering a two-run Trea Turner home run in the first inning to keep Los Angeles off the board while excelling with five whiffs in five innings. The 30-year-old has now limited the damage to two runs or fewer in five of his last six appearances, dropping his ERA from 8.59 to 3.58. Williams is scheduled to pitch again next weekend against the Angels.

Williams (1-3) picked up the win in Tuesday's 10-0 rout of the Nationals, allowing three hits and two walks over five scoreless innings while striking out one.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander wasn't dominant, but he didn't give up much hard contact as all three hits off him were singles, and the Mets' offense did the rest. Williams also lasted five innings for the first time in four starts and nine appearances this season, giving him a rosier fantasy outlook if he can continue to last long enough to qualify for wins while acting as a stopgap in New York's injury-plagued rotation. He'll take a 3.58 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB through 27.2 innings into his next outing.

Williams will start Tuesday's game against the Nationals at Citi Field, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After making a spot start May 21 in Colorado, Williams made his most recent appearance out of the bullpen Wednesday in San Francisco. With starter Thomas Szapucki getting tagged for nine earned runs over 1.1 innings before exiting that contest, Williams ended up saving the bullpen by striking out five over 3.2 scoreless frames. He tossed 53 pitches in that outing and should be reasonably stretched out as he slots back into the rotation for what should be a two-start week. Williams' second turn is expected to come next Sunday in Los Angeles against the Dodgers.

Williams (0-3) took the loss during Saturday's 11-3 defeat at the hands of the Rockies, allowing four runs on three hits with two strikeouts in four innings.

EDGE Analysis

Williams served up two-run homers in the first and second innings to fall behind early and New York wasn't able to recover. The 30-year-old fired 32 of 52 pitches for strikes with only two of the swinging variety, and Williams should stick around the rotation despite the mediocre performance as New York deals with multiple injuries to starters.

Williams will start Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams made his second start of the season Tuesday and threw 65 pitches over four scoreless frames, and he'll take the mound again Saturday on three days rest. The 30-year-old should remain in the Mets' starting rotation for the foreseeable future given the injuries to Jacob deGrom (shoulder), Max Scherzer (oblique) and Tylor Megill (biceps).

Williams gave up four hits across four scoreless innings but didn't factor into the decision in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals. He struck out six without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

Making his second start of the season, Williams baffled the Cards over 65 pitches (46 strikes) but wasn't stretched out enough to earn a win for his efforts in a 3-1 victory. With Tylor Megill (biceps) on the injured list, Williams figured to hang onto a rotation spot for a while, but his track record suggests he'll be volatile in that role.

Williams and the Mets won't play against the Cardinals on Monday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Monday's matchup will be made up as part of a doubleheader Tuesday. Williams will take the mound in one of the games during the twin bill, while Taijuan Walker will start in the other matchup, according to Thosar.

Manager Buck Showalter said Williams is likely to start Monday's game against the Cardinals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander last pitched Wednesday and covered 3.2 frames in long relief, and he'll make a spot start Monday after originally-scheduled starter Tylor Megill (biceps) was placed on the injured list. Williams threw 51 pitches during that outing, so he'll likely need to be efficient to have a chance of sticking around for the necessary five innings to potentially pick up a win.
