Serving as opener Monday Holton will serve as the opening pitcher in Monday's game against the Red Sox, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact It will be the second "start" in as many days for Holton, who retired two of three batters faced as an opener in Sunday's game versus the Rangers. Holton hasn't been as effective in the early going this season as we've grown accustomed to, posting a 5.27 ERA and 10:8 K:BB over 13.2 frames.

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.

The 29-year-old southpaw should continue to operate in high-leverage situations for Detroit in 2026.

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.
