Colin Holderman allowed one run over two-thirds of an inning in his rehab appearance for Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Holderman, out since Apr. 6 with a knee sprain, should be activated this weekend. Tuesday’s appearance was his second with Indianapolis; he previously pitched a perfect inning on Saturday.
Pirates placed RHP Colin Holderman on the 15-day injured list with a sprained right knee.
Colin Holderman entered Saturday’s game against the Yankees in the fifth with the Pirates down 5-4 and allowed three inherited runners to score before going up a run in his own.
The simple fact that he was used in the fifth doesn’t seem great for his chances of seeing save opportunities. The Pirates also used Dennis Santana down 9-4 in the ninth today, and he was charged with a run. Both pitchers had a couple of days off coming into this one, so they should be available Sunday. Santana appears to be the favorite for saves on the Pirates at the moment.
Pirates and RHP Colin Holderman avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.5 million contract.
Holderman, 29, established himself as one of the most reliable arms in the Pirates’ bullpen during the 2024 season — posting a 3.16 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 56/25 K/BB ratio over 51 1/3 frames in his 55 appearances. While he isn’t interesting from a fantasy perspective, he’ll enter the 2025 season with a clear role carved out in the Pirates’ middle relief corps.
