NEW YORK -- Before J.P. Crawford got called up Monday and Rhys Hoskins got called up last month, Nick Williams got the call in June, and he has been a fixture in the Phillies' outfield ever since.
With less than a month remaining in the regular season, Williams has made his case to be an everyday fixture in the Phillies' lineup next season. The 23-year-old ripped a two-run home run in Wednesday night's 6-3 loss to the Mets at Citi Field, which was called in the sixth inning because of rain. It was Williams' ninth homer of the season.
