The Cleveland Guardians have officially named Gavin Williams as their starting pitcher for Game 3 of the American League Championship Series (ALCS) against the Tampa Bay Rays. The matchup is scheduled for Thursday, with Williams facing off against Rays pitcher Jax.

Williams’ selection comes after a demanding period of play. According to reports, the right-hander recently threw a total of 210 pitches over a six-day span during a series against the Chicago White Sox. This high workload has drawn attention to his endurance as he prepares for the high-stakes postseason environment. While the announcement confirms the pitching rotation for the upcoming game, the team has not yet commented on whether the recent heavy usage will impact his pitch count or strategy for Thursday's contest.
