Athletics acquired INF Alika Williams from the Pirates for RHP Kyle Robinson.
AI Summary
The Athletics acquired infielder Alika Williams from the Pirates in exchange for pitcher Kyle Robinson as a depth option.
Williams heads to West Sacramento as a stopgap option for the Athletics after losing Jacob Wilson to a shoulder injury earlier this week. He'll most likely function in a bench role behind Darell Hernaiz. The 27-year-old defensive specialist hit .202/.257/.271 with zero homers and one steal in 208 plate appearances over 83 games for the Pirates from 2023-2024. He's a solid depth addition for the Athletics, but Williams can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.
