Williams (shoulder, hand) is out of the lineup against Colorado on Wednesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams will remain on the bench for the ninth straight contest while recovering from hand and shoulder injuries. There has been no word as to whether the outfielder has a chance to return to the field this season, but it's looking more and more likely that we've seen the last of Williams in 2018.

Williams (shoulder, hand) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rockies, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams has now been on the bench for 11 of the last 12 games -- and eight straight -- as he continues to battle multiple injuries. It's unclear if Williams will be able to return before the end of the season, though it wouldn't be surprising if the Phillies opted to shut him down with the team out of playoff contention. Dylan Cozens, Roman Quinn and Odubel Herrera will man Philadelphia's outfield from left to right in this one.

Williams is dealing with injuries to his right hand and shoulder, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams apparently injured his shoulder in early August diving back to first base, while he hurt his hand attempting to make a diving catch near the beginning of September. The outfielder initially attempted to play through the injuries until he noticed they were affecting his swing (evidenced by his .206/.250/.235 slash line through 12 games in September). Williams, who has sat out four of the last five games, should be considered day-to-day.

Williams is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
As has been the case recently, Williams will hit the bench with a left-hander (Steven Matz) toeing the rubber for the opposition. The outfielder is hitting just .206/.250/.235 through 12 games in September. Aaron Altherr is starting in right field in this one.
