Survives trouble Holderman allowed two earned runs on three hits while striking out one across one inning Thursday against the Reds.

Impact Holderman entered the game in the eighth inning with a three-run lead. He was erratic early, as he made both a throwing error and threw a wild pitch in the span of the first two batters he faced. That led to two runs crossing the plate, though he managed to get the final two outs of the frame with the tying run at third base. Holderman has pitched in a traditional setup role -- he tallied his eighth hold Thursday -- and has a 2.00 ERA with an 8:3 K:BB across nine innings on the season.

Healthy for spring Holderman (shoulder) threw his first bullpen session of spring training Thursday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Impact The 27-year-old looks to be healthy again after he spent the final six weeks of the 2022 season on the Pirates' injured list with right shoulder soreness. Between stops with the Mets and Bucs in 2022, Holderman had put together a solid rookie campaign, logging a 3.81 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 24:14 K:BB in 28.1 innings. Barring a rough showing in the Grapefruit League, Holderman should be in good shape to earn a spot in the Pirates' Opening Day bullpen.

Summoned from minors The Mets recalled Holderman from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact New York added Holderman to the big-league pitching staff as a replacement for starter David Peterson (personal), who was placed on the paternity list. Peterson is expected to return from the list to start the Mets' series opener with the Marlins on Thursday, at which point Holderman could be a candidate to head back to the minors. Over 11.1 innings with the Mets this season, Holderman has turned in a 3.18 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 10 relief appearances.

Activated and optioned The Mets reinstated Holderman (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact New York saw enough from Holderman during his one-inning rehab appearance Sunday with Syracuse to deduce that he was healthy, but the big club apparently doesn't have a spot available in the bullpen for the right-hander at the moment. After providing a 3.18 ERA while striking out 14 over 11.1 innings for New York prior to landing on the IL on June 11, Holderman should be first in line for a call-up if the Mets require an extra relief arm at any point.

Impact Holderman has been out the past couple weeks with a right shoulder impingement, so he shouldn't require a lengthy rehab stint in the minors. The 26-year-old has appeared in 10 games in his first taste of the big leagues this year and has a 3.18 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB over 11.1 innings.

Eyeing minimum-length stay Holderman (shoulder) said Tuesday that he expects to return from the 15-day injured list when first eligible June 24 or shortly thereafter, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Holderman said he plans on resuming a throwing program in a few days after a recent MRI confirmed that he's dealing with a minor impingement of his right shoulder rather than a longer-term injury. Before landing on the IL, Holderman had emerged as a key piece out of the bullpen, accruing three wins while generating a 3.18 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB across 11.1 innings.

Collects first MLB win Holderman (1-0) gave up an unearned run on one hit in the 10th inning Thursday but was credited with the win in a 7-6 victory over the Cardinals.

Impact In his third career big-league appearance, Holderman got the call in the top of the 10th and allowed the phantom runner to score from third base on a groundball double play, but the rookie was rewarded for his effort when Pete Alonso walked it off in the bottom of the frame with a two-run blast. Holderman was one of the surprises of spring training for the Mets, and he's shown that performance was no fluke by posting a 0.00 ERA and 3:1 K:BB through his first three MLB innings after strong numbers at Triple-A Syracuse. Given the injuries in the Mets' rotation, the 26-year-old's ability to work longer stints -- three of his nine appearances for Syracuse were two innings, including his final two before his promotion -- could prove vital as manager Buck Showalter patches together his staff.
