Holloway spent last season at the Triple-A level between the White Sox and Cubs. The 27-year-old righty, who hasn’t appeared in the big leagues since making 15 appearances (four starts) for the Marlins from 2020 to 2022, will augment Seattle’s relief depth at Triple-A Tacoma to open the 2024 campaign.

Holloway exercised the opt-out clause in his minor league contract with the Cubs last week after struggling to an inflated 6.57 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 24/12 K/BB ratio across 12 1/3 innings (12 appearances) this season for Triple-A Iowa. The 27-year-old righty, who has made 15 appearances (four starts) for the Marlins since 2020, will get an opportunity with the White Sox as organizational relief depth.

Holloway, a non-roster invitee to Cubs camp, could miss at least a few weeks. The former Marlin will likely head to Triple-A once healthy.

The 26-year-old hurler made just one appearance with the Marlins in 2022, but overall he holds a 3.92 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and a 38/28 K/BB ratio across 39 innings in his major league career. Holloway has pitched both as a starter and a reliever over the past two seasons so he gives the Cubs extra depth and options depending on how they want to utilize him.
