Williams (3-1) struck out four and walked three in Tuesday's loss to the Rockies, giving up two runs on four hits in six innings.

Despite throwing well against a strong Colorado Rockies offense, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Trevor Williams picked up his first loss of the season on Tuesday. The right-hander struck out four and allowed just two runs, four hits, and three walks in six innings, but he received no run support on a frigid night in PNC Park. Despite the disappointing outcome, Williams still holds a nice 3-1 record and 1.93 ERA through his first four starts of the season. Some regression is almost certainly coming, however, and his low strikeout totals (14 in 23 1/3 innings) don't give him much fantasy upside. Williams' next opponent will be the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.

Williams (3-0) threw six innings of one-run ball to earn the win Thursday against the Cubs. He allowed four hits, walked one and struck out five.

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Trevor Williams turned in another strong start on Thursday to pick up his third win in as many outings in 2018. The right-hander went six innings against a strong Chicago Cubs offense and allowed only one run on four hits and a walk while punching out five. The only damage against Williams came in the bottom of the fourth inning when Kyle Schwarber hit a solo home run. Despite the promising beginning to the season, fantasy owners should approach him with skepticism due to his low strikeout rate (14.5 percent), high walk rate (10.1 percent) and unsustainably high strand rate (91.8 percent). Williams will draw the Colorado Rockies at home his next time on the hill.

Although he wasn't particularly sharp, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Trevor Williams did enough to pick up his second win in as many starts on Friday against the Cincinnati Reds. The right-hander gave up 10 hits and a walk in 5 1/3 innings but limited the damage to only two runs and collected four strikeouts. While Williams carries a 1.59 ERA through two outings, his high WHIP (1.41) and lack of strikeouts (five in 11 1/3 innings) make him hard to trust for fantasy purposes outside of deep NL-only leagues.

Although he walked five batters and struck out just one, Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Trevor Williams tossed six innings of no-hit baseball against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday en route to his win of the season. Williams was pulled from the game after 85 pitches, and Michael Feliz coughed up the no-hitter with one out in the seventh inning, but the bullpen held strong and secured the 1-0 win. Williams is coming off a solid 2017 (4.07 ERA, 4.49 xFIP), but he's a low-strikeout pitcher and has only average control, which doesn't make him a strong fantasy option outside of NL-only leagues.

Williams (1-0) pitched six scoreless innings without allowing a hit to earn the win against Detroit on Sunday. He issued five walks and stuck out only one batter.

Pittsburgh Pirates starter Trevor Williams went five innings on Tuesday, allowing just one run on three hits. He took the hard-luck loss anyway, falling to 6-9 on the season. A Domingo Santana solo homer was the only damage to Williams' stat line, yet the Pirates' suddenly anemic offense victimized its staff yet again. Williams also struck out six, upping his strikeout rate to 6.92 K/9 on the season. He's continued to show improvement as the season wears on and has a 2.70 ERA and 16 K in 16 2/3 IP in September. His K upside isn't the highest, but he's not a bad streaming option in deep mixed leagues if you need another starter.

Pittsburgh Pirates starter Trevor Williams picked up his sixth win of the year with seven scoreless innings against the Reds on Sunday. Williams struck out five, walked one, and scattered eight hits while stranding several baserunners with two outs. Since a horrible outing against the Cardinals on August 18, Williams has only allowed two ER in his past 20 IP over three starts. Even if he doesn't possess high strikeout upside, Williams continues to flash his potential to help in the ratio categories.

Pittsburgh Pirates starter Trevor Williams was brilliant for eight scoreless innings on Wednesday against the Dodgers. Unfortunately, his outing will be completely overlooked as his opponent, Rich Hill, managed to throw nine no-hit innings before losing the game in the 10th. Despite Hill's impressive accomplishment, Williams flashed some talent of his own by keeping the best team in baseball scoreless for a near-complete game. Williams lowered his ERA to 4.40 on the year. He has been a bit inconsistent in his rookie season, but could be a mainstay in the Pirates rotation next season.

Pittsburgh Pirates starter Trevor Williams couldn't figure things out against the Cardinals on Friday night. Williams allowed runs in each inning he was on the mound, ending up on the hook for eight earned runs in three IP before getting mercifully pulled early in the fourth. He also gave up a home run in each of the first three frames. It was an uncharacteristically bad night for the rookie, who had thrown four straight quality starts before this implosion.

Pittsburgh Pirates starter Trevor Williams was masterful on Monday night, tossing seven scoreless innings and allowing only one hit. Only catcher James McCann was able to reach base via batted ball on the evening. Williams has shown promise in his first full MLB season, especially in the second half. Williams has a 2.64 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in five starts after the All-Star break. He only strikes out 6.47 batters per nine innings, but could be worth a look in deep leagues for his ratios.

Pittsburgh Pirates starter Trevor Williams wasn't overly efficient on Wednesday evening, but he limited the Reds to two runs over 5 1/3 innings. Williams struck out six, which represents just the fourth time in 16 starts that he's whiffed more than five in a game. He can deliver quality starts every so often, but hasn't proven reliable enough to be considered for fantasy leagues outside of very deep NL-only. He owns a 4.47 ERA and 1.33 WHIP on the season.

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Trevor Williams couldn't keep his recent string of quality starts going in his last outing before the break. Williams couldn't make it out of the fourth inning against the Cubs, allowing three runs on six hits over 3 2/3 IP. The damage wasn't drastic, but Williams was already up to 98 pitches at that point. He falls to 3-4 with a 4.80 ERA and 1.27 WHIP on the season. He is merely worth a look in NL-only leagues.

Pittsburgh Pirates starter Trevor Williams is slowly but surely lowering his ratios by throwing quality starts on a more consistent basis. He did just that on Sunday, keeping the Giants to two runs on three hits over six innings. That marks three straight QS for Williams, who now owns a 4.67 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 6.43 K/9. His lack of strikeout prowess limits him to streaming value for deep mixed leagues.

Pittsburgh Pirates starter Trevor Williams had a solid outing on Tuesday, lasting seven innings while allowing two runs on six hits. He didn't walk a batter and struck out seven for the second straight start. Williams has been steadily improving over his last couple of starts, lowering his ERA to 4.82. He's not close to being a mixed-league option yet, but could be worth a spot in NL-only leagues.

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Trevor Williams threw a quality start by allowing three runs over six innings Wednesday. He also finished with a career-high seven strikeouts and 96 pitches thrown in his ninth Major League start. Williams was moved to the rotation after Jameson Taillon was placed on the disabled list and took Tyler Glasnow's place once the rookie was demoted. Williams has an unimpressive 5.09 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and 6.33 K/9, but has been showing signs of improvement recently. His poor strikeout rate matches his minor league numbers, so he will have to lower his ratios quite a bit in order to have any sort of fantasy value.

Williams gave up five runs on six hits (including two homers) over four innings in a no-decision against the Marlins on Saturday. He struck three batters and did not issue a walk.

Williams, who has compiled a 2.83 ERA in his last four starts (28.2 innings), is building a case to remain in the rotation following the return of fellow starter Jameson Taillon (testicular cancer) in the next week or so. "It's out of my hands," Williams told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "I'm just glad that I still have an opportunity to pitch at the big-league level. Whenever the ball's in my hand in whatever situation, I'm going to do my best and give the team the best of my ability that day to help the team win."

Trevor Williams is doing his best to prove he belongs in the Pirates rotation with another quality start on Sunday. Williams allowed one run over seven innings to a Mets team that had been crushing the ball lately. He evened his record to 3-3 with the victory and now owns a 4.57 ERA and 1.32 WHIP. Those numbers aren't overly impressive, but consider that he has only allowed nine earned runs over his last five starts (2.83 ERA) after a rough patch moving out of the bullpen into the rotation. With Jameson Taillon due back next week, Williams could move back but there's also a chance he sticks in the rotation instead of struggling rookie Tyler Glasnow or second-year player Chad Kuhl, both of whom have an ERA in excess of 6.00.

Williams went five innings against the Braves on Wednesday, allowing three runs on six hits while striking out six in a no-decision.

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Trevor Williams is getting the chance to fill starter Jameson Taillon's spot in the Pirates rotation, but it isn't going over so well. Williams took the loss on Friday night, falling one out short of a quality start by lasting 5 1/3 innings and allowing three runs on four hits. He wasn't hit particularly hard and only walked two, but he failed to strike out a single batter. The good news is that it's an improvement over his first turn as a starter on May 8 when he allowed six runs in three innings. He now has a 16:9 K:BB that won't help fantasy owners, even in NL-only leagues.

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Trevor Williams only lasted three innings on Monday night, allowing eight runs (six earned). It's never a good sign when a pitcher has as many home runs allowed as strikeouts (two). Despite now owning a 7.98 ERA, the Bucs may be forced to stick with Williams in the rotation at least a little while longer now that starter Jameson Taillon is out indefinitely. Among all the injuries in baseball, no team has had worse all around luck than the Pirates when you include outfielder Starling Marte's 80-game suspension and third baseman Jung Ho Kang's legal issues that have kept him stranded overseas due to a lack of a work visa. Williams doesn't carry much fantasy appeal at the moment.
