Williams (5-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over five innings against Philadelphia. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

It was a rough start for Williams, who allowed three runs on a pair of homers in the first inning. However, he'd settle down to pitch four scoreless innings as the Nationals rallied to a 5-4 victory. The 31-year-old Williams has made it through six innings just once in his last eight outings. He now sports a 4.34 ERA with a 1.42 WHIP and 63:27 K:BB across 17 starts (85 innings) this season. Williams currently lines up for a tough home matchup with the Rangers in his next outing.

Williams allowed three runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out four batters over four innings in a no-decision against Seattle on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Williams served up a long ball to the first batter he faced, and things didn't get much better for him as a he failed to record any 1-2-3 innings. The right-hander needed 83 pitches to complete just four frames, and he was pulled after allowing two runs on three hits in his final inning of work. It was the shortest outing of the campaign for Williams aside from a 2.1-inning effort against the Mets on May 13 that was suspended due to inclement weather. For the most part, Williams has been a steady and dependable rotation staple for the last-place Nationals, though his 4.28 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 62:25 K:BB over 80 frames convey little fantasy value.

Williams (4-4) picked up the win in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over the Cardinals, scattering five hits over six scoreless innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander was brilliant over 75 pitches (50 strikes), and after he left a first-inning double by Lars Nootbaar stranded at second base, Williams didn't allow another runner to get into scoring position. The quality start was only his third of the year, and he'll carry a 4.14 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 58:24 K:BB through 76 innings into his next outing, likely to come early next week in Seattle.

Williams did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks over 4.1 innings against the Marlins. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Williams tied his season high with five runs allowed and walked at least three batters for the fourth time over his past five outings. He's also given up a home run in six straight starts and eight total during that stretch. Overall, the right-hander holds a 4.50 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 54:24 K:BB across 14 appearances (70 innings). Despite his struggles, Williams remains a steady piece of Washington's rotation and is scheduled to pitch again during a three-game series versus the Cardinals.

Williams (3-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk across five innings in a 6-2 win over Atlanta. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Williams snapped a two-game losing streak with five sharp innings against Atlanta's prolific offense. The right-hander is still struggling with the long ball and has given up seven home runs over his past five starts, but he did correct his recent command concerns, allowing just one walk Sunday after issuing 10 free passes over his previous three outings. Overall, Williams holds a 4.11 ERA and a 52:10 K:BB across 13 appearances (65.2 innings) and has a steady spot in Washington's rotation.

Williams (2-4) took the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on six hits and four walks over 5.2 innings against the Phillies. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Williams continues to struggle with his command and has walked 10 batters over his past three appearances. During that stretch, he's surrendered 15 hits and 13 runs (seven earned), including six home runs. Things certainly haven't gone as planned during his first campaign in Washington, but his 4.15 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 12 appearances (60.2 innings) are good enough for him to remain on fantasy radars. Williams will face another stiff test during his next start, which is tentatively scheduled during a three-game weekend set in Atlanta.

Williams dropped to 2-3 in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Dodgers after allowing six unearned runs on six hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

The positive takeaway is that every single run was unearned, so Williams was actually able to reduce his ERA to 3.93 on the season. The right-hander had recently been on a good stretch, coughing up just seven runs across his three previous appearances combined. The troubling nugget is that he's given up four home runs over his last three outings. Williams is slated to tentatively face the Phillies at home in his next start this coming weekend.

Williams (2-2) picked up the win in Wednesday's 5-3 victory over the Padres, giving up three runs on three hits and three walks over 5.2 innings while striking out five.

EDGE Analysis

It was far from a sharp performance -- Williams tossed only 53 of 94 pitches for strikes and served up two homers -- but he did just enough, and got just enough run support, to collect his first win since April 8. The veteran right-hander has provided the Nationals with some stability at the back of their rotation, allowing more than three runs in only two of his 10 starts. He'll take a 4.32 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 27:13 K:BB through 50 innings into his next outing, likely to come on the road early next week against the Dodgers.

Williams (1-2) was tagged with the loss against Miami on Thursday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five batters over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Williams pitched fairly well in the outing, tying his season high with six innings and recording his second quality start of the campaign. However, rookie phenom Eury Perez allowed just one run over five frames, and the Nationals couldn't muster enough offense against Miami's bullpen to take Williams off the hook for the loss. The right-hander has just one win over nine starts on the season, but he's been serviceable for Washington with a 4.26 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 32:10 K:BB through 44.1 innings.

Williams had his start against the Mets on Saturday postponed due to inclement weather, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The game was delayed for over three hours before the decision to postpone. Williams threw 2.1 scoreless innings, but those stats won't count with the game being made up against the Mets on Sunday in a split doubleheader.
