Lands on injured list Holland was placed on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder impingement syndrome Monday, retroactive to Aug. 15.
Impact Holland has struggled recently, as he's allowed nine runs (eight earned) on seven hits and four walks while striking out two in three innings across his last four appearances. His injury likely contributed to his issues, and it's not yet clear when he'll be healthy enough to return.

Dealt loss Monday Holland (2-5) allowed three runs (one earned) on two hits and two walks in two-thirds of an inning, taking the extra-innings loss to the Yankees on Monday.
Impact In a game that saw the Royals rally from a deficit in four consecutive innings, Holland's sloppy pitching in the 11th combined with Whit Merrifield's costly error created a deficit too big to overcome. This was Holland's first loss since July 8, but he's now allowed six runs (four earned) in his last inning across two appearances. The 35-year-old has a 5.24 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 45:24 K:BB with seven saves, eight holds and four blown saves in 44.2 innings. Given his recent struggles, manager Mike Matheny may be more inclined to turn to other members of the closing committee for save chances in the near future.

Can't nail down save Saturday Holland recorded his sixth hold of the season in Saturday's 9-8 win over the Tigers, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over two-thirds of an inning.
Impact Entering the game in the ninth inning to protect a three-run lead, Holland instead made a mess of things, serving up a two-run shot to Akil Baddoo and then walking two more batters before getting replaced by Wade Davis for the final out. Holland avoided another blown save, but the 35-year-old has an 8.64 ERA and 1.56 WHIP through 8.1 innings in July and seems to be losing ground to Scott Barlow in the Royals' closer mix.
