US EditionNationals Pitcher Trevor Williams to Have Surgery for Partial UCL Tear, Out Until Next Season
MISSOURI, UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – Trevor Williams will miss the next season due to surgery for a partial ulnar collateral ligament tear, with possible Tommy John surgery if damage is severe, doctors said.
- Trevor Williams, a 33-year-old right-handed pitcher for the Washington Nationals, will undergo surgery next Thursday for a partial tear in his ulnar collateral ligament.
- The injury was diagnosed after an MRI revealed the partial tear, following Williams’ last start on July 2, where he allowed seven runs in three innings in a loss to Detroit.
- Interim manager Miguel Castro replaced Williams in the rotation last weekend by starting Shinnosuke Ogasawara, who debuted with four runs allowed over 2 2/3 innings and is expected to start again this weekend in Milwaukee.
- Jeffrey Dugas, an orthopedist, will perform the surgery with hopes that an internal brace procedure will suffice, though Williams might require Tommy John surgery if damage exceeds MRI findings.
- Williams’s surgery will keep him out until at least next season, adding to his history of arm problems that limited him to 30 starts over two years and a 3-10 record with a 6.21 ERA this season.

Today we learned that Trevor Williams will be having UCL ligament surgery on his elbow after throwing 54 pitches in the first inning of his last start…
