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

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

Pirates' Colin Holderman: Season ends
Rotowire
The Pirates transferred Holderman (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
The move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Peter Solomon, whom the Pirates claimed off waivers from the Astros. It also spells an official end to Holderman's season, as the right-hander had been placed on the 15-day IL on Aug. 26 and now won't be eligible to be activated before the Pirates' campaign comes to a close in the first week of October. After joining the Pirates on July 22 in a deal with the Mets, Holderman gave up eight earned runs on nine hits and seven walks in 10.2 innings across his nine relief appearances with the big club.

Pirates' Colin Holderman: Day-to-day with shoulder issue
Rotowire
Holderman was diagnosed with right shoulder discomfort following his appearance in Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.
The injury likely explains why Holderman was woefully ineffective Wednesday, as he failed to record an out and was charged with five earned runs on three hits and a walk. The Pirates are labeling Holderman as day-to-day, but a trip to the injured list could be in the forecast if he doesn't show significant improvement heading into the weekend.

The Pirates recalled Holderman from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Mets' Colin Holderman: Dealt to Pirates
Rotowire
Holderman was traded to the Pirates in exchange for Daniel Vogelbach on Friday, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Holderman will head to Pittsburgh after producing a 2.04 ERA and 1.02 WHIP with 18 punchouts over 17.2 innings in 15 appearances with the Mets this season. He'll likely fill a middle relief role with the Pirates, but the rookie could slip into a high-leverage spot if the Bucs trade some veteran relievers at the deadline.
The Mets recalled Holderman from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
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.

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

Mets' Colin Holderman: Starting rehab stint
Rotowire
Holderman (shoulder) will report to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday to begin a rehab assignment, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
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.
