The Milwaukee Brewers star closer appeared to be in mid-season form during his first rehab appearance.
The Milwaukee Brewers bullpen has been stellar throughout the 2024 season, and a massive reinforcement could be coming back soon to make it even stronger.
The Brewers have been without two-time All-Star Devin Williams for the entirety of the 2024 campaign after he sustained a back stress fracture in spring training, and he is finally gearing up for a return to action. Williams took the mound for the High-A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers on Saturday and showed why he's still one of the best closers in the league.
In Williams' first rehab start he didn't allow a single earned run, hit or walk and struck out the side in the one inning he pitched in part of a 5-3 win over the Detroit Tigers minor league affiliate High-A West Michigan Whitecaps. The Brewers have the third-best bullpen in the majors with an impressive 3.35 ERA, trailing only the Atlanta Braves and Cleveland Guardians. The group will be drastically improved once the 29-year-old returns to the big leagues.in late July and after his impressive first rehab appearance, it seems like he'll be on track to make that artificial deadline, barring another setback.Stephen Mottram joined "Milwaukee Brewers On SI" to bring some fun and thoughtful coverage to the site.
