Gavin Williams will start Game 4 of the ALCS on Friday against the Yankees.

Fantasy Impact

It will be the postseason debut for Williams after he did not pitch in the ALDS. He is looking to help the Guardians even the series at 2-2.

Gavin Williams took another hit to his record, falling to the Twins in a 4-1 loss on Tuesday. He allowed two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a decent strikeout count, Williams' season continues to be marred by high ERA and WHIP, which now stand at 5.12 and 1.39, respectively. His performance this season, characterized by an inability to consistently limit runs, makes him a risky fantasy option. While his K/9 remains solid at 9.7, his overall effectiveness is diminished by frequent losses and elevated run allowances. Fantasy managers should approach with caution, as his current form does not inspire confidence for high returns.

Gavin Williams endured another rough outing, allowing three earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.1 innings in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Rays.

Fantasy Impact

This performance continues a troubling trend for Williams, whose season ERA now sits at an inflated 5.23 through 14 starts. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 9.5 K/9, his high ERA and WHIP of 1.39 are red flags for fantasy managers. The elevated BABIP of .309 suggests some bad luck, but it's clear that Williams struggles with consistency. Given these factors, he remains a risky play in most fantasy formats, especially without signs of imminent improvement.

Gavin Williams endured a rough outing, allowing five earned runs on two hits and three walks without recording a strikeout over just 2/3 of an inning in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

This performance starkly contrasts his season averages, significantly inflating his ERA and WHIP. Given his inability to manage even a single inning effectively, fantasy managers might view this game as a significant red flag. Williams's season-long metrics like a decent K/9 and FIP suggest some underlying skills, but his inconsistency, highlighted by today's game, could make him a risky play in fantasy lineups moving forward.

Gavin Williams delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run on one hit and two walks while striking out six over seven innings in Monday's 4-2 win over the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

This outing was a refreshing display of control and efficiency from Williams, who has struggled with a 4.55 ERA and 1.30 WHIP through his season. His ability to limit hits and maintain a solid strikeout rate in this game could hint at a turning point. Fantasy managers should note his improved command, as evidenced by a strong outing against a competitive team. While his season stats might not scream 'elite,' performances like this showcase his potential value in deeper leagues, especially if he can sustain this form.
