2026 MLB Power Rankings: Pinpointing Every Team’s Best Offseason Move

Picks up fourth win Holderman (4-1) got the win after pitching a scoreless inning while striking out two in a 9-4 win over the Yankees on Tuesday.

Impact Holderman entered in the bottom of the fifth, striking out both Amed Rosario and Jazz Chisholm, and kept Cleveland's 5-4 lead intact. Coming off one of his worst appearances of the season, allowing two earned runs to Boston in just one-third of an inning, Holderman bounced back in a big way. The 30-year-old commands a 2.05 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and a 25:6 K:BB through 22 innings in his first season with Cleveland.

Thriving in bullpen Holderman allowed one hit and struck out one over a scoreless sixth inning in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to Washington.

Impact Holderman has been near perfect since the Guardians recalled him late April. In 13 appearances since then, the right-hander has allowed just one run on eight hits and three walks while striking out 19 over 16.1 innings. Holderman told Tim Stebbins of MLB.com that health is the main reason for his success in 2026 after he logged a 7.01 ERA and 1.95 WHIP in 25.2 innings for the Pirates last year. While Tuesday's outing was a low-leverage spot, manager Stephen Vogt has recently incorporated Holderman late into close games. Within the last week, he's picked up two wins and a hold.
