The Cleveland Guardians have announced that right‑hander Gavin Williams will start Game 3 of the American League Championship Series against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday.
Williams, who logged 210 pitches over six days in a recent outing against the Chicago White Sox, will be the Guardians’ workhorse on the mound as the series moves to Tampa.
The ALCS pits the Guardians against the Rays in a best‑of‑seven series that began earlier this month. With the series tied 1‑1, the Guardians will look to Williams’ experience and stamina to give them a chance to take a 2‑1 lead.
Williams’ recent workload underscores the team’s confidence in his durability and effectiveness against top‑level competition.
