Mets Say Clay Holmes Will Throw Bullpen Session This Week

The club calls his rehab encouraging and says the session could shape whether he bolsters the rotation or returns as a tradable asset before the Aug. 3 deadline.

Overview

  • Holmes fractured his right fibula in May after being hit by a line drive and began a staged rehab program that has now progressed to mound work.
  • Interim manager Andy Green said Holmes is scheduled to throw a bullpen session this week and the team describes his progress as encouraging.
  • The Mets caution Holmes remains several weeks from rejoining the active roster and the bullpen session will determine if he needs more rehab, simulated games, or a minor‑league tuneup.
  • Before the injury Holmes had been one of the Mets’ best starters, posting a 2.39 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP in his early-season starts, which is why his return would directly help a rotation that has struggled for consistency.
  • If Holmes shows readiness after the bullpen session it could change front-office plans ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline by improving the rotation or increasing his value as a player the Mets could move.
