Clay Holmes Back on the Mound | New York Mets News

Clay Holmes is back on the mound for the first time since breaking his leg in May, tossing a rehab outing against Marcus Semien — who’s also injured — and striking out every batter. While not yet game-ready, Holmes remains a high-value trade asset for the Mets as the deadline nears, with his expiring contract and proven starting ability making him a sought-after rental. Though he’s focused solely on recovery and helping the team win, his return could fetch a strong return. The Mets, who helped transform him into a starter and value him as a clubhouse leader, are weighing whether to trade him — but with reliable starters scarce, they may hold onto him longer, knowing his potential for years to come.
