Reliever roundup: Opportunity knocks for Devin Williams, and something Wick this way comes Greg Jewett offers the skinny on all the MLB back-end bullpen fluctuations, with extra focus on the teams that were trade deadline sellers.
AUGUST 3, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Closing opportunity opens up Williams is likely to fill in as Milwaukee's closer after Josh Hader (illness) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Monday.
Impact Hader is the fourth reliever, and fifth player overall, on the COVID IL for the Brewers, and Williams should now have the chance to work as the closer for a brief period. The right-hander has yet to record a save in 75 big-league appearances, but he's been a key bullpen piece for manager Craig Counsell over the past two years as a setup man. Williams struggled over the first few weeks of the season, but over his past 33 outings he has a 1.82 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 48:15 K:BB in 29.2 innings.

Hopeful for minimal IL stay Williams (elbow) said Tuesday that he's hopeful his stay on the injured list will end after the minimum 10 days, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact Williams played catch Tuesday for the first time since landing on the IL with right elbow discomfort last Friday. While nothing is set in stone, the right-hander appears to be on track for a short stay on the injured list, even if it ends up being slightly longer than the 10 days. If he is indeed ready to be activated when first eligible, the 26-year-old would return to the Brewers' bullpen Saturday against the White Sox.

Able to play catch Williams (elbow) played catch Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Impact Williams hit the injured list Friday with right elbow discomfort. While it's never good to see a pitcher dealing with elbow injuries, the fact he's throwing again just a few days later certainly seems to be a positive sign. The Brewers have yet to specify exactly when they expect him to return, however.
