Manager Stephen Vogt said Wednesday that Williams will receive an anti-inflammatory injection. He won’t throw for another week before being re-evaluated.
“They’re hoping that at the end of this seven days he can resume throwing and not fall too far back,” Vogt said. “Just trying to cover all the bases and be as cautious as possible.”
Williams had been building up arm strength after essentially having to start over when he got hurt in camp.
The 24-year-old Williams went 3-5 with a 3.29 ERA as a rookie last season.
He was penciled into a spot in Cleveland’s rotation, which has already taken a big blow with Shane Bieber being lost for the season following Tommy John surgery.
