"Kodai Senga and Clay Holmes could be utilized down the stretch of the regular season and potentially in the postseason as relievers, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns hinted on Tuesday. I wouldn't take any of that off the table right now, Stearns said. I think we are, with 12 games left in our season, going to do what we need to do to win as many games as possible."
"With just over a week to go in the regular season, the Mets' rotation is still in flux, and their playoff hopes are still very much uncertain. They are relying on their top three prospects, Nolan McLean, Brandon Sproat, and Jonah Tong, to stabilize the staff in the home stretch, while southpaws David Peterson and Sean Manaea are with Holmes as veteran arms who are trying to find consistency amidst sizable second-half struggles."
"Entering his start on Tuesday night against the San Diego Padres, where he will be piggybacked by Manaea, Holmes had a 4.99 ERA across his last 12 outings perhaps a byproduct of navigating a previously unknown workload, as this is his first season as a starter after seven years as a reliever. The former New York Yankees' closer, who is less than a year removed from high-leverage innings in the World Series, becomes a logical right-handed option to bolster the bullpen."
Kodai Senga and Clay Holmes could shift to relief roles late in the regular season and potentially in the postseason. The Mets face rotation instability with just over a week remaining and playoff positioning uncertain. The club is leaning on top prospects Nolan McLean, Brandon Sproat, and Jonah Tong to stabilize the staff in the home stretch. Veterans David Peterson, Sean Manaea, and Clay Holmes are attempting to regain consistency after second-half struggles. Holmes, in his first season as a starter after seven years as a reliever, has posted a 4.99 ERA across his last 12 outings.
