Williams picked up the save Monday against Colorado. He allowed no hits or walks while striking out one over a perfect inning.
Williams entered in the ninth inning with a two-run cushion and made quick work of the Rockies, retiring the side in order on just eight pitches to secure his fourth save of the season. It has been a rocky start to his tenure with the Mets, as the right-hander owns a 6.55 ERA and 1.91 WHIP, though he's still striking batters out at a prolific rate (14.7 K/9) and has strung together four consecutive outings without allowing an earned run.

Mets' Devin Williams: Earns third save of season
Rotowire
Williams earned his third save of the season Friday against the Angels, tossing a perfect ninth inning while striking out two.
Williams is trending in the right direction of late -- this was his third straight scoreless outing, and he is now 3-for-4 in save chances. Williams endured a rough stretch between April 15 and April 23, allowing eight runs on nine hits with a 6:4 K:BB across four appearances, but it looks like he's finding his groove again. Even with his struggles, Williams remains the Mets' ninth-inning arm until further notice, so he remains a valuable fantasy asset, especially considering his track record.

Mets' Devin Williams: Shaky again, but picks up win
Rotowire
Williams (1-1) earned the win over the Twins on Thursday, allowing one run on three hits while striking out two batters over two-thirds of an inning.
The Mets led by three runs entering the ninth inning, and manager Carlos Mendoza intended to immediately deploy Williams for the start of the frame, per Max Goodman of NJ.com. However, a dugout miscommunication led to fellow reliever Huascar Brazoban -- who finished off the eighth inning -- walking onto the field and crossing the foul line, which meant he had to stay in the game. Brazoban got one out and then exited in favor of Williams, but that meant the latter was no longer in line for a save. Williams didn't have a good outing in any case, yielding three hits and a run, but he was able to hold the lead and was generously granted the win by the official scorer. While that's a small victory for Williams' fantasy managers, it doesn't quell concerns about the veteran reliever's performance of late. After opening the campaign with five straight scoreless outings, Williams has surrendered eight runs over two innings across his past four appearances.
Mets' Devin Williams: Manager not mulling closer change
Rotowire
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Wednesday that he has not considered removing Williams from the closer role, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.
Williams failed to retire any of the five batters he faced in Tuesday's loss to the Twins and has allowed seven runs in 1.1 innings covering his last three appearances. He had been unscored upon in his first five outings of the season, however, and Mendoza is confident Williams can right the ship. Luke Weaver is the Mets' primary setup man and likely would be next in line if Mendoza makes a change at some point, though Weaver has not pitched well so far, posting a 6.23 ERA and 4:3 K:BB in 8.2 frames.

Mets' Devin Williams: Implodes during ninth-inning loss
Rotowire
Williams (0-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Twins, allowing two runs on one hit and three walks without recording an out.
Williams was unable to retire any of the five batters he faced, quickly loading the bases in a tied ninth inning before a single from Luke Keaschall broke the tie. Matt Wallner followed with a bases-loaded walk to force in another run before Williams was pulled. The outing continues a troubling stretch for the right-hander, who has now allowed seven runs while recording just four outs over his last three appearances. Williams ERA has ballooned to 9.95 through eight outings, and the loss extended the Mets' skid to 12 straight games.
Williams blew the save in Sunday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Cubs, allowing one run on two hits while striking out three in the ninth inning.
Williams was tasked with preserving a 1-0 lead in the ninth inning but allowed a game-tying double with one out before striking out the next two batters he faced. It marked his first blown save in a Mets uniform, though he's now allowed runs in back-to-back outings. On the year, the 31-year-old is 2-for-3 in save chances with a 7.11 ERA, 2.05 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB across 6.1 innings.
Williams coughed up four runs on three hits and a walk in one-third of an inning during Wednesday's loss to the Dodgers.
With the Mets mired in a long losing streak, manager Carlos Mendoza tried to get his closer some work in a non-save situation, but it backfired when Williams served up a grand slam to Dalton Rushing in the eighth inning. They were the first runs the right-hander had allowed this season, spiking his ERA from 0.00 to 6.75, but Williams sports an 8:3 K:BB through 5.1 innings and he's converted both his save chances.
Williams earned his second save of the season in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Giants, allowing two hits with one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.
Williams has yet to allow a run this season, though he flirted with trouble Sunday by allowing a couple of ninth-inning singles. Williams struck out Jung Hoo Lee to end the game. Through four innings this season, Williams owns a 5:2 K:BB.

Rotowire
Williams (1) earned the save Monday against the Cardinals, tossing a perfect ninth inning with one strikeout.
Williams entered the ninth with a two-run lead and only needed 12 pitches to shut the door, sealing the win by striking out Nathan Church for the final out.

Mets' Devin Williams: Works scoreless ninth Saturday
Rotowire
Williams gave up a hit and a walk while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning during Saturday's 4-2 extra-innings win over the Pirates.
The Mets' new closer entered a 0-0 tie and helped get the game to extras, firing 11 of 19 pitches for strikes. Williams had a shaky first season in New York with the Yankees in 2025, but his 2.68 FIP far out-paced his 4.79 ERA, and the Mets are counting on the 31-year-old righty to regain the form he had the prior three seasons with the Brewers, when he delivered a 1.66 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 14.1 K/9 over 141 regular-season innings.
