‘No residuals’ for Williams after rehab start

MIAMI – Major League Baseball changed the name of the disabled list to the injured list prior to this season. Trevor Williams has a suggestion for another switch.

“They should rename it the useless list,” the Pirates right-hander said Friday. “It’s been an experience. I hope I never go back on it.”

Williams took a step closer Thursday night to coming off the UL, uh IL, when he made a rehab start for Triple-A Indianapolis. It was the first time he had pitched in a game since sustaining a strained left side May 16 in a start against the Padres in his hometown of San Diego.
