Clay Holmes Could Miss Around Three Months
New York Mets starting pitcher Clay Holmes (right fibula) is expected to miss around three months after being placed on the injured list Saturday, according to Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com. Holmes suffered a right fibula fracture, and manager Carlos Mendoza explained that the starter can't even begin ramping back up for another six to eight weeks. The manager noted that Holmes will essentially have a spring training buildup once he's ready. Losing Holmes is a crushing blow for the Mets, as he had been off to a 4-4 start with a 3.21 FIP, 7.69 K/9, 3.08 BB/9, and a 56% ground ball rate. His average velocity has also been up to 94.8 mph, which is his highest mark since transitioning from the bullpen to the rotation. As it stands, Holmes is the #74 starter in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings.
