    Williams, 32, has a 4.30 ERA in 202 major league appearances with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Chicago Cubs, New York Mets and Nationals since making his debut in 2016.

    The Nationals brought back Williams not long after agreeing with first baseman Josh Bell on a one-year, $6 million contract. Bell returns to Washington after being traded to San Diego at the deadline in 2022 in the blockbuster that sent Juan Soto to the Padres. He has also since played for Cleveland, Miami and Arizona.
