Clay Holmes Near Return, Trade Deadline Target | New York Mets News

Clay Holmes is making major strides back from a fractured fibula, set to throw a bullpen session soon—big step toward returning before the August 3 trade deadline. Already a top Mets trade asset alongside Freddy Peralta, Holmes was their best starter before his injury, posting a 2.39 ERA in nine starts. With a clean X-ray and no need for a full ramp-up, he’s poised to be a high-value pitching addition for any contender. At 33, with a player option in 2027, the Mets are likely to move him now while his value’s high—especially as they look to sell with a 35-50 record and a new manager.
