Another fine outing Holmes pitched a scoreless inning Sunday in a 4-3 loss to Colorado, giving up one hit and a walk while striking out two.
Impact Holmes collected his second hold of the season Sunday and first since Opening Day. The 28-year-old has not allowed a run in his last 14 outings covering 14.1 innings, lowering his earned run average to below 3.00 (2.96) for the first time since his April 6 blow-up (five runs in one-third inning). The righty entered 2021 with a career 5.91 ERA and 1.75 WHIP (in 77.2 innings) but has posted a 2.96 ERA and 1.11 WHIP (in 24.1 innings). He could move into a more high-leverage role if the team trades Richard Rodriguez and Kyle Crick at the trade deadline.

Pitching well out of pen Holmes threw two scoreless innings in a 4-1 loss to the Giants on Sunday, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one.
Impact The right-hander's 3.66 ERA in 19.2 innings includes a five-run outing in which he recorded only one out on April 6. Otherwise, he's allowed just one earned run in 18 appearances. Holmes has walked only six batters, posting a 1.22 WHIP. Prior to 2021, he'd walked 59 batters en route to a career 1.75 WHIP in 77.2 innings. The team has yet to deploy him in many high leverage spots -- he has zero holds or saves -- but the 28-year-old has taken positive strides following his offseason non-tender.

Polanco homers among 3 hits, Pittsburgh beats Minnesota 6-2
Gregory Polanco homered among his three hits, the Pittsburgh bullpen tossed five strong innings, and the Pirates beat the Minnesota Twins 6-2 SundayAPRIL 25, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Collects first win Holmes (1-0) pitched 1.1 scoreless innings with one walk and one strikeout to earn the win Sunday versus the Twins.
Impact Holmes completed the fifth inning with the Pirates leading, and they never fell behind. The 28-year-old has a 6.35 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB across 11.1 innings this season. He allowed five runs in one-third of an inning April 6 versus the Reds, but he's otherwise been fairly effective in a low-leverage role.

Hits open market Holmes (forearm) was non-tendered by the Pirates on Wednesday, Stephen J. Nesbitt of The Athletic reports.
Impact He ended the year on the shelf with a strained right forearm and never had much success in the majors, logging a 6.84 ERA in 2018 and a 5.58 ERA in 2019. Considering Holmes never returned to the mound, he may end up needing surgery on his elbow.

Sidelined with forearm injury Holmes was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right forearm strain Tuesday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.
Impact After his fastball clocked in at 94.3 mph over the past two seasons, Holmes' velocity was down to 92.4 mph in his first appearance in 2020, and his forearm injury could help provide a reasoning. It's unclear how much time the right-hander will miss as a result. Despite his decreased velocity, Holmes allowed no runs on two hits and no walks while striking out one over 1.1 innings in his season debut.
