Outrighted to alternate camp
Williams has cleared waivers and was outrighted to the White Sox's alternate training site Saturday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiliams was designated for assignment by Chicago on Thursday, and he'll now head to the team's alternate facility in Schaumburg. The 27-year-old appeared in four games early in the season and went hitless with a walk, two runs and four strikeouts in 10 at-bats. Williams could report to Triple-A Charlotte once the minor-league season gets underway.

Williams is a household name due to his prospect pedigree and the trade that sent him to the Phillies as a major part of the return for Cole Hamels. It appeared that he was ready to evolve from prospect to an above-average major-league hitter when he posted wRC+ marks of 110 and 102 in the 2017 and 2018 seasons, respectively. However, he fell flat in 2019 due to a disastrous 38.4 K%. Little is known about his 2020 campaign as he failed to log a major-league plate appearance and was stuck at alternate sites. However, context suggests that he was unimpressive as he was designated for assignment twice in the span of 35 days. Williams will enter the 2021 season as a 27-year-old on a minor-league deal with the White Sox. He will be in big-league camp, but faces an uphill battle to break through to the majors.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely done with club after 2019
Williams isn't expected to return to the Phillies after the season, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old has been an afterthought in Philadelphia's major-league picture this year, slashing just .157/.204/.255 with only two homers across 108 plate appearances. Not including Williams, the Phillies' outfield will already be crowded heading into spring training. Choices to join franchise player Bryce Harper and Andrew McCutchen, who's recovering from a torn ACL, include Scott Kingery (who can also play the infield), Odubel Herrera and Adam Haseley. The club could also decide to bring back impending free agent Corey Dickerson; as exorbitant as that sounds, it seems like a better possibility than sticking with Williams. Perhaps an opportunity elsewhere can reawaken Williams' chances of becoming a serviceable major-leaguer, but fantasy players can wait on that to develop before considering him for 2020 draft or waiver-wire interest.
