PPittsburgh Pirates
September 1, 2024
The Pirates reinstated Holderman (wrist) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.
ANALYSIS
With the active roster expanding from 26 to 28 men Sunday, the Pirates will bring aboard two relievers in Holderman and Ryan Borucki (wrist), both of whom were activated from the IL. Holderman had been on the shelf since Aug. 8 with a sprained wrist but looks to be good to go after tossing an inning for Triple-A Indianapolis in each of his five rehab appearances.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Holderman's surname was apropos as he recorded a team-leading 27 holds (T-8th in the majors) as the Pirates primary setup man. Armed with an upper-90's sinker, sweeper and cutter, the 28-year-old righty posted solid ratios that would have been even better if not for two poor outings to close out the season. Thumb discomfort may have been to blame for his rough finish, but Holderman's emergence last season was ultimately a boon to Pittsburgh's bullpen. His 24.2 percent strikeout rate was only slightly above league average and he didn't induce many whiffs or get batters to chase. This limits his overall upside, but his 52.8 percent ground ball rate was a top-30 statistic among relief pitchers. Holderman should continue serving as the Pirates' top setup man in 2024, making him a decent target in formats that reward holds.

July 28, 2023
The Pirates are receiving trade calls on Holderman, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
While his numbers aren't elite, the right-hander has somewhat quietly developed into a quality reliever for the Pirates and could command a decent haul with several teams looking for bullpen depth before the deadline. Holderman owns a 3.71 ERA across 34 innings in 36 appearances.
