There’s an "outside chance" Williams could return to the team if they reach the World Series.
"After our celebration, I went out to have a few drinks," Williams said Wednesday. "On my way home, I was a little frustrated and upset, and I punched a wall. That’s how it happened."
Williams finished the 2021 regular season with an 8-2 record and 2.50 ERA. He struck out 87 hitters over 54 innings of work. As a rookie last year, Williams finished with a 4-1 record, to go along with a 0.33 ERA.

"I’m pretty upset with myself," Williams said. "There’s no one to blame but me. I feel like I’ve let my team down — our coaching staff, our fans, everyone. I know how big of a role that I play on this team. There’s a lot of people counting on me. I guess all I can do now is cheer my team on and learn from it and don’t make that same mistake in the future."
