The news comes after last evening's probably long-term injury to IF Tucupita Marcano. Williams, a former initial round draft choice of the Tampa Bay Rays was acquired by the Pirates in the Robert Stephenson profession. Setting up an instead uninspiring line with the Rays AA associate Rays Shorts, the Pirates felt his performance remained in part due to there being space for enhancement in his lower half mechanics. Sent to AAA Indianapolis after the trade, it had not been long after his arrival they made those adjustments.
