ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Milwaukee Brewers reliever Devin Williams fractured his throwing hand when he punched a wall after his team celebrated its NL Central title, likely knocking him out for the entire postseason.

Brewers president of baseball operations David Stearns said before the Brewers' Wednesday night game with the St. Louis Cardinals that Williams' injury likely will require surgery. Stearns said there's an ``outside chance'' the 2020 NL rookie of the year could be available for the World Series if the Brewers get that far.

The Brewers clinched the division crown Sunday by beating the New York Mets 8-4 in their regular-season home finale.

"After our celebration, I went out to have a few drinks," Williams said Wednesday. "On my way home, I was a little frustrated and upset, and I punched a wall. That's how it happened."
