Brewers hopeful that closer Devin Williams could make his 2024 debut 'in the next few days'
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams appears on the verge of making his season debut after missing four months with stress fractures in his back. “We’re hoping for Devin here in the next few days, if things go well,” Brewers president of baseball operations Matt Arnold said Friday. The two-time All-Star continued his rehabilitation assignment by allowing one hit in one inning of shutout relief Friday night for Triple-A Nashville. Williams has struck out six while giving up one walk and one hit over four innings in four separate minor league appearances, three with Nashville and one with Single-A Wisconsin. “He needs to come out of this next one healthy,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy had said before Friday night’s action. “He hasn’t pitched (on) back-to-back (days) yet or done a lot of things yet, but it might be valuable just to have him back with us.”
