Mason Williams, a three-time top 100 prospect in baseball according to MLB Pipeline, has now played in seven rehab games for the Tampa Yankees and appears to be getting close to full strength. After six games as the designated hitter, Williams played centerfield for the first time since undergoing shoulder surgery in August of 2015.
Williams went 2-for-3 with a triple and a run scored Monday and was removed after the fifth inning. He is now 7-for-28 during his rehab stint in Tampa, although at this stage the Yankees probably aren’t too concerned about his results at the plate.
