The Washington Nationals reinstated right-hander Trevor Williams from the 60-day injured list to start on Friday afternoon against the Cubs in Chicago.

Williams, 32, was 5-0 with a 2.22 ERA in 11 starts before landing on the IL on June 4 with a right flexor strain. He posted a 2.45 ERA across 7 1/3 innings in two rehab starts at Double-A Harrisburg.

Williams is 49-54 with a 4.34 ERA in 200 career games (159 starts) with the Pittsburgh Pirates (2016-20), Cubs (2021), New York Mets (2021-22) and Nationals.

The Nationals also optioned rookie Zach Brzykcy to Triple-A Rochester and transferred fellow right-hander Joan Adon (right shoulder biceps strain) to the 60-day injured list in corresponding moves.
