Holmes Returns as Cubs Push for Playoffs | MLB News

The Cubs just pulled off a blockbuster trade deadline move, adding veteran pitcher Clay Holmes and outfielder Tyrone Taylor from the Mets, plus pitcher Kevin Gausman from Toronto — all key pieces in their push for the postseason. Holmes, recovering from a broken leg, is healthy and ready to roll, even open to bullpen duty if needed. With a Gold Glove-caliber defense behind him, he’s thrilled to be back on the mound. Manager Craig Counsell is reshuffling the rotation, possibly moving Colin Rea to the bullpen, as the Cubs aim to maximize their pitching depth and lock down the NL wild-card lead.
