Effective in relief Saturday Holton pitched two scoreless innings of relief and earned a hold in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Red Sox. He struck out two.

Impact In a game dominated by ace Tarik Skubal and ended by veteran closer Kenley Jansen, Holton served as an effective bridge between the two pitchers in the seventh and eighth innings to record his second hold of the year. The lefty reliever has been good so far out of Detroit's bullpen, posting a matching 0.96 ERA and WHIP across nine appearances to go along with seven strikeouts. Holton's fantasy value is capped by his middle relief role, though he has more appeal in leagues that count holds and should continue to provide good ratios in all formats.

Allows home run in win Holton gave up his first earned run of the season Thursday against the Royals and only pitched 0.1 innings in the 10-9 extra-innings win.

Impact Holton has been a great presence out of the bullpen the past three seasons in a middle-relief role. The 29-year-old is continuing that role in 2026 as a bridge to the higher-leverage relievers. This was the first home run that Holton has given up all campaign, after last year where he gave up 15 home runs, which was tied for second worst in the league.

Avoids arbitration with Detroit Holton and the Tigers agreed to a one-year, $1.575 million contract Thursday to avoid arbitration, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Holton was a solid presence for the Tigers' bullpen in 2025, making a career-high 70 appearances (six starts as an opener) during the regular season while posting a 3.66 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 18 holds and a 64:17 K:BB across 78.2 innings. The 29-year-old southpaw should continue to operate in high-leverage situations for Detroit in 2026.

Takes loss as Thursday's opener Holton (5-5) took the loss against the Yankees on Thursday, allowing two runs on two hits while striking out two across one frame.

Impact Holton recorded both of his strikeouts in the first inning but also gave up a solo home run to Aaron Judge before being tagged for a second run in the second frame when Jazz Chisholm was brought home by a Ben Rice double. It was Holton's sixth time serving as the Tigers' opener this season, and he now sits at a 4.00 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 69.2 innings this season.

Opening Thursday Holton will serve as the Tigers' opener in Thursday's game against the Yankees, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Holton will receive his sixth opening assignment of the season Thursday and his first since July 2. The 29-year-old southpaw owns a 3.86 ERA and 1.12 WHIP through 67.2 frames on the year, and he likely will remain in the game for just an inning or two before handing the game over to Sawyer Gipson-Long, who is expected to work in a bulk-relief role.

Takes loss in relief Holton (5-4) allowed two runs on a hit and a walk to take the loss Saturday against the Royals. He retired two batters.

Impact Holton served up the key hit Saturday, a two-run home run by Bobby Witt in the bottom of the eighth inning that proved to be decisive in the 3-1 Kansas City victory. It wasn't a great matchup for the lefty reliever, as he has better numbers against same-handed hitters, and Witt crushes southpaws to the tune of a .934 OPS. Despite the setback, Holton still has a serviceable 3.84 ERA across 65.2 innings this season, and he remains one of Detroit's key bullpen arms.

Secures 14th hold Saturday Holton tossed 1.1 scoreless innings of relief to earn a hold in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Royals. He allowed a hit and struck out one.

Impact Following five innings from starter Chris Paddack and other 1.1 innings from Troy Melton, Holton came on as the bridge to closer Will Vest, with Kyle Finnegan likely unavailable after logging two innings the day before. Holton continued his steady play for the Tigers and recorded his 14th hold of the season, which leads the team. He's not in the mix for saves with Vest and Finnegan around, though the lefty has some fantasy appeal in leagues that count holds, and he's also chipped in five wins out of the bullpen for good measure.
