Mets Move Clay Holmes to 60-Day Injured List With Fractured Fibula
The New York Mets announced on Tuesday that they moved right-hander Clay Holmes (leg) to the 60-day injured list after he suffered a fractured right fibula when he took a comebacker off his leg during his start over the weekend against his former team, the New York Yankees. He has been shut down from all baseball activities for the next six to eight weeks and won't be eligible to return to the big-league starting rotation until mid-August. Although the 33-year-old veteran's underlying metrics suggested that regression was coming, he looked good for the Mets in his first nine starts of 2026, going 4-4 with a 2.39 ERA (3.22 FIP) and 1.10 WHIP with 45 strikeouts and 18 walks over 52 2/3 innings pitched. Because of his long-term injury, he's already been dropped in a lot of fantasy leagues and is currently rostered in less than 50% of Yahoo leagues. Left-handed pitching prospect Zach Thornton will get the first crack at trying to fill Holmes' starting rotation spot in the big leagues, but Jack Wenninger and Jonah Tong might also get opportunities.
