Brandon Williamson Activated Off 60-Day IL by Reds
The left-hander returns from a shoulder injury that sidelined him since April, posting shaky control numbers during his minor league rehab.
Cincinnati reinstated Brandon Williamson from the 60-day IL, ending an absence that began in April due to a shoulder injury. He completed a rehab stint across Double-A and Triple-A, posting a 5.94 ERA in six appearances but continuing to struggle with walks, recording a 15% walk rate. Williamson is slated to start Wednesday against the Padres as part of a tandem rotation arrangement with Chase Burns. No additional 40-man roster move was required for the activation.
