Clay Holmes Stats

New York Yankees relief pitcher Clay Holmes picked up his seventh win of the season Thursday night. He threw two innings of relief, finishing off a 5-4 extra-inning win over the rival Red Sox, allowing no runs on one hit with one strikeout and no walks. The once-dominant Holmes has faltered of late, allowing earned runs in four of his last six outings, but this performance was more reminiscent of his dominant first half. Holmes still appears to have a tentative hold on the closer role, so fantasy managers should keep him active despite the struggles. He has a 2.59 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 65 strikeouts in 62 2/3 innings this season.

The New York Yankees reinstated relief pitcher Clay Holmes (back) from the 15-day injured list on Monday. The 29-year-old has enjoyed a breakout season for both the Yankees and fantasy managers so far, converting 17 saves and pitching to a 2.39 ERA and a 2.78 FIP in 49 innings of work. He's also struck out 51 batters while allowing 16 walks and a home run in those 49 innings. He'll give the Yankees another late-inning option alongside Wandy Peralta, Lou Trivino, and Jonathan Loaisiga, though it is worth noting that he gave up seven earned runs, six hits, four walks, and a home run in his last four innings before landing on the injured list.

New York Yankees pitcher Clay Holmes (back) is on track to return from the injured list on August 29 against the Los Angeles Angels. He reportedly felt good after throwing bullpen sessions earlier in the week. The 29-year-old right-hander has 17 saves, a 2.39 ERA, and 51 strikeouts in 49 innings for the Yankees this year but struggled over his recent five appearances. He posted a 15.75 ERA and a 2.50 WHIP across four innings during that five-game stretch. Holmes is expected to retake the closer role for the Yankees once activated and should continue to be rostered in all league formats.
