MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams is ready to make his 2024 debut after missing the first four months of the season with stress fractures in his back. The Brewers announced before their Sunday afternoon game with the Miami Marlins that they had reinstated the two-time All-Star from the 60-day injured list. They also designated right-hander Janson Junk for assignment and sent right-hander JB Bukauskas to Triple-A Nashville on a rehabilitation assignment. Williams pitched four scoreless innings in a rehabilitation assignment with Nashville and Single-A Wisconsin.
