Clay Holmes News: Likely to piggyback Manaea

Holmes will be available out of the bullpen for Sunday's game against the Nationals and could piggyback starter Sean Manaea, Colin Martin of SNY.tv reports.

The duo were deployed in tandem during Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Padres, with Holmes working the first four innings and Manaea covering the final five frames. Manaea ended up coming away with the victory, but since he'll be serving as the starter Sunday, Holmes might stand a better chance of qualifying for a win. The right-hander will be working out of the bullpen for the first time all season after his previous 30 appearances came in a starting role.
