Guadians’ No. 1 Pick Gavin Williams Receives Cortisone Injection, Shut Down for Seven Days

Guardians’ top prospect Gavin Williams has been experiencing pain in his right elbow since early March. After throwing three innings in a rehab start on Saturday, Williams felt discomfort in the back of his elbow, prompting the team to shut him down for seven days. The 21-year-old right-hander will receive a cortisone injection and will be on a no-throw program during this period. Williams was expected to compete for a spot in Cleveland’s opening day rotation but has been sidelined since spring training due to the elbow injury.
