Nationals' Austen Williams: Recovering from Tommy John surgery

Williams underwent Tommy John surgery in early August, Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.

He pitched in 12 MLB games from 2018 through 2019, but never had much success. As a member of the 40-man roster, Williams would have been a bullpen option for the Nationals this summer, but now he may not be game ready until the start of the 2022 season.
