InjuryBrandon Williamson was removed from Wednesday’s start against the Rockies with left shoulder fatigue.
Williamson was charged with four runs. He gave up four hits, struck out four and issued four walks in the abbreviated 58-pitch outing. The 28-year-old lefty has worked beyond the fifth inning only twice in five starts to open the year. The lack of volume and limited strikeout potential extinguish any real path to fantasy relevance. He’s compiled an underwhelming 6.11 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 19/20 K/BB ratio across 28 innings. He’s in line for a tough road start against the Cubs on Monday, if he’s cleared to take the ball.
