Injured Pittsburgh Pirates Pitcher Trevor Williams Throwing Again, Jordan Lyles Plays Catch

CINCINNATI (KDKA) -- According to reports, injury Pirates pitcher Trevor Williams is progressing well during his time on the IL.

Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports Williams is throwing again following his right-side strain that has kept the pitcher sidelined since May 16th.

According to Mackey, team Director of Sports Medicine Todd Tomczyk says the Bucs are "very encouraged" that Williams is pitching off of a slope this early since the injury.
