Yankees Notebook: Super reliever Clay Holmes will continue to face 'toughest parts' of opposing lineups It almost seems automatic right now.

May not close when Chapman returns Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that he envisions using Holmes in high-leverage situations against the toughest parts of opposing lineups once Aroldis Chapman (Achilles)...

Impact Boone clarified that Holmes will be "closing some games, too," but the right-hander doesn't look as though he'll be picking up the majority of save chances like he has thus far during Chapman's absence. Chapman completed a bullpen session Tuesday and may be ready to return from the IL next week, but Holmes should retain plenty of fantasy value in the planned high-leverage role, especially if he still continues to close games every now and then. Holmes has yet to allow a run in his last 27 appearances and sports an 0.59 WHIP and 31:3 K:BB in 29 innings during that span.

Impact Holmes struck out the first two batters he faced before allowing a single and ending the game with a flyout. The righty is now 10-for-10 in save opportunities and has a minuscule 0.30 ERA through 29.2 innings. Since allowing a run on Opening Day, he has tossed 29 consecutive scoreless frames.

Secures another save Holmes earned the save against the Twins on Thursday, pitching a perfect ninth inning during which he struck out one batter.

Impact It appeared unlikely that Holmes would make an appearance in the game when Minnesota jumped out to a 7-3 lead after three innings, but New York's offense stormed back to produce a three-run lead after eight frames. Holmes was brought in to close things out in the ninth, and he retired the side in order on 12 pitches. This was the right-hander's ninth save in nine opportunities this season, and he has also racked up seven holds. Holmes has been one of the top relievers in MLB this season, complementing his saves and holds totals with a minuscule 0.33 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 29:3 K:BB across 27.2 innings.

Seals save after rocky outing Holmes picked up his seventh save during Thursday's 2-1 win over the Angels. He allowed zero runs on zero hits and one walk while striking out one over one inning.

Impact After retiring the first two batters, Holmes found himself in trouble after walking Shohei Ohtani and hitting Mike Trout and Jared Walsh. However, the right-hander sealed the save by getting Luis Rengifo on a groundout to shortstop. Holmes continues to shine, notching 23 straight scoreless appearances, and with Aroldis Chapman (Achilles) sidelined, he has recorded five straight saves and figures to continue operating as the Yankees' high-leverage reliever.

Nails down sixth save Holmes struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his sixth save of the season in a 2-0 win over the Rays.

Impact The right-hander continues to dominate, as Holmes reeled off his 22nd straight scoreless appearance. With Aroldis Chapman (Achilles) lacking a timetable for his return, Holmes will continue to fill the closer's role for the Yankees, a job he should have no trouble thriving in given his 0.36 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 26:2 K:BB through 24.2 innings.

Earns fifth save of season Holmes picked up the save Wednesday against the Orioles. He allowed zero runs on two hits and zero walks while striking out one over one inning.

Impact With Aroldis Chapman (Achilles) and Chad Green (elbow) on the 15-day injured list, Holmes has been the Yankees' go-to guy for high-leverage situations and has gone 3-for-3 in save opportunities over his last four appearances. Wednesday's performance was a bit shaky, as he allowed the game-tying run to reach, but Holmes slammed the door shut by striking out Jorge Mateo to end the game. Holmes currently sports a 0.38 ERA and a 24:2 K:BB across 23.2 innings.
