Trevor Williams Throws First Rehab Inning

**Corey** (0:00)
On June 28th, Trevor Williams, a pitcher for the Nationals, is making progress towards returning to the mound. He had surgery back on July 17th, 2025 for a torn UCL in his elbow. This past Sunday, he threw his first rehab start in single A, facing batters for the first time since the procedure.
He threw 26 pitches in that outing, giving up four runs. It was a short appearance, just two-thirds of an inning, but it's a significant step in his recovery process.
The team is looking to get him back in action. Williams signed a two-year deal worth $14 million with the Nationals after the 2024 season. He's had some injury struggles in recent years, including a flexor muscle strain that kept him sideline for a good chunk of last season. His elbow injury then cut his last year short. Despite the setbacks, the Nationals pitching rotation has been finding its rhythm this season. Williams' potential return, whether as a starter or in a relief role, could be a big boost for the team as the season progresses.
It's always good to see players working their way back from injury. We'll be keeping an eye on his progress and hoping he can contribute to the Nationals' success. That's the story for today. Washington Nationals News Today, driven by AI. I'm Corey with the story.
