Clay Holmes Near Return, Soto Rests | New York Mets News

Clay Holmes is making strong rehab progress, set to throw three innings for Triple-A Syracuse and potentially return to the Mets by mid-July—unless an extension falls through before the trade deadline, in which case he’s likely to be dealt. With a player option for 2027 he’s not picking up, he’ll be a free agent either way. Before his May 15 injury, he was elite: a 2.39 ERA and 1.01 WHIP. Meanwhile, Juan Soto gets a well-earned break, missing today’s game and tomorrow’s off day to recharge before returning for the Dodgers series Friday night. With the trade deadline looming, every move matters. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
