Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images | Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images Following the Mets’ loss to the Yankees tonight, Carlos Mendoza announced that Clay Holmes, who started the game, has a fractured fibula and will be out for a long time. Holmes had taken a line drive to his leg during his start.
Having converted to working at a starter after signing with the Mets ahead of the 2025 season, Holmes has been a success story in his time with the team. While he struggled to go deep into games in the second half last year, he threw 165. 2 innings and had a 3.
53 ERA in his first year as a starter after working as a reliever for virtually the entirety of his big league career before then. Holmes really looked the part of a starting pitcher in the early going this season, which makes the injury sting that much more. In nine starts, Holmes has thrown 52.
2 innings, and he has a 2. 39 ERA and a 3. 22 FIP.
