Clay Holmes Returns to Cubs Rotation | MLB News

Clay Holmes makes his long-awaited Cubs debut after a brutal three-month layoff, returning from a fractured fibula to help fuel Chicago’s playoff push. Despite allowing four runs and six hits over four innings — including a solo homer — he dominated with groundballs (11 of 12 outs) to complement the team’s elite defense. Acquired at the trade deadline in a deal sending a top prospect to the Mets, Holmes showed flashes of his former All-Star form, striking out 45 in 52⅔ innings before injury. Now focused on refining his sinker and adapting to his new role as a starter, Holmes is determined to get back to his best and help the Cubs win games.
