  • Devin Williams, Milwaukee Brewers' All-Star closer, will miss approximately three months due to two stress fractures in his back.
  • Williams experienced back discomfort late last season and again this spring, leading to further examination and diagnosis.
  • The injury was confirmed after Williams sought a second opinion from Dr. Robert Watkins, a leading spine specialist.
  • Williams is expected to make a full recovery without surgery, following six weeks of inactivity and a gradual return to pitching.
  • The Brewers are considering internal and external options to fill the closer role during Williams' absence.
