Sprains ankle in AFL Williams was diagnosed with a sprained right ankle Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Bumped up to Triple-A The Mets promoted Williams from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.
Impact With Binghamton's season coming to a close Sunday, Williams will get his first taste of Triple-A during the upcoming week as he looks to pick up more at-bats while a wrist procedure has kept him out for much of the 2024 campaign. The shortstop prospect wrapped up his time at Double-A with a .528 OPS and five extra-base hits (four doubles, one triple) in 101 plate appearances.

Completes rehab assignment Double-A Binghamton activated Williams (wrist) from the 60-day injured list Friday.
Impact Williams went four months between his injury and the beginning of his rehab assignment after needing a triangular fibrocartilage complex debridement procedure in his right wrist. The ever patient shortstop hit .250 with four walks, three strikeouts, two steals and zero extra-base hits in five rehab games. Williams has proven to be an on-base machine (career .417 OBP), as he knows the strike zone very well, but he also has plus-plus speed and good bat speed at the plate, so he could turn into a five-category contributor in fantasy.

Kicking off rehab assignment Williams (wrist) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Single-A St. Lucie on Wednesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact For the first time in four months, Williams will appear in a game after a lengthy recovery from right wrist surgery. He had gotten off to a slow start to the season with Double-A Binghamton prior to getting hurt, batting just .179 with four extra-base hits and two stolen bases over 50 plate appearances, though he drew eight walks while striking out just five times. Given the length of his absence, Williams could remain on the rehab assignment through the weekend before potentially returning from Binghamton's 60-day injured list next week.

Sent to minor-league camp The Mets reassigned Williams to minor-league spring training Sunday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 20-year-old has received reps at shortstop and in center field during the first couple weeks of big-league camp, but he'll shift to the minor-league side after the first round of roster cuts. Williams is the Mets' top prospect and should open 2024 at Double-A Binghampton after he split most of last season between the Single-A and High-A levels, where he had an .876 OPS in 410 at-bats.

Moving up to Double-A Williams has been promoted from High-A Brooklyn to Double-A Binghamton, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.
Impact Williams was better at Brooklyn following a midseason promotion than he was at Low-A St. Lucie, collecting a .266/.431/.461 batting line with 13 home runs, 44 stolen bases and a 108:102 K:BB over 115 games between the two stops. The excellent showing has earned him a late-season look at the Double-A level, which is quite impressive considering he won't turn 20 until November. Williams has mostly played shortstop this season but can also handle center field.

Jumping to High-A The Mets promoted Williams from Single-A St. Lucie to High-A Brooklyn on Sunday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact Williams primarily played shortstop for St. Lucie but also saw action in center field, and he'll now move up to Brooklyn. The 19-year-old is one of New York's top prospects and had a .248/.421/.399 slash line with five home runs and 32 stolen bases in 78 games at the Single-A level.

Dialed in at Single-A Williams is hitting .290 with two home runs, seven steals, 17 walks and 13 strikeouts in his last 21 games for Single-A St. Lucie.
Impact The 19-year-old speedster has made 48 starts at shortstop and 12 starts in center field thus far in his full-season debut. Williams is 25-for-31 (80.7 percent success rate) on stolen-base attempts through 65 games and has been dialed in at the plate of late.
JULY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Getting on base at Single-A Williams is hitting .207 with a .401 OBP, one home run and 13 steals in 34 games for Single-A St. Lucie.
Impact The 19-year-old shortstop has a strong batted-ball profile, with a 32 percent groundball rate and all-fields approach, but it hasn't translated into a high batting average in the early going. Even as an undersized 5-foot-6 middle infielder, Williams is strong where it counts and is expected to eventually develop notable over-the-fence power to go with his 70-grade speed.
