Holder (shoulder) has improved and may be an option if the Yankees advance to the ALCS, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Holder was transferred to the 60-day injured Sept. 15 and is ineligible to return during the regular season. However, he could come off the IL if New York advances past the ALDS and has a need for a right-handed reliever -- a situation made more feasible by Dellin Betances' season-ending Achilles injury. Holder pitched in 34 games for the Yankees this season, posting a 6.31 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 46:11 K:BB over 41.1 innings.

Holder (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list prior to Sunday's game against Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

The move means that the 26-year-old will not pitch again this season. Although Holder had resumed throwing, the decision to transfer him to the 60-day IL was prompted by the Yankees' need to clear two roster spots with the activation of Dellin Betances (lat) and Jordan Montgomery (shoulder).

Holder (shoulder) has resumed throwing, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Holder has been out with shoulder inflammation since early August. His exact return timeline is not clear, but he appears to have time to get back before the end of the season.

Holder was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with right shoulder inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

He hasn't pitched since giving up two runs in 2.2 innings in Baltimore on Aug. 6. Stephen Tarpley was recalled to take his place in the bullpen.

Holder allowed two runs on three hits with no walks and two strikeouts across 2.2 innings in a no-decision while working as an opener against the Orioles on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old pitched very well in the first two innings, but then he proved why he's not yet starter material. Once Holder started going through the Orioles order a second time, the Baltimore hitters began to string together hits and scored two runs in the third. Despite a pretty strong outing, Holder's ERA slightly increased to 6.31. He also owns a 5-2 record, 1.31 WHIP and 46 strikeouts in 41.1 innings during 34 appearances this season.

Holder will open Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees have yet to announce who will follow Holder, but he's expected to eat up the first inning or so before making way for a bulk reliever. He's struggled to a 6.28 ERA with 44 punchouts over 38.2 innings this season for New York.

The Yankees recalled Holder from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Holder was demoted to Triple-A on July 24, but the Yankees were able to bring him back before the minimum 10 days since fellow reliever David Hale (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday in a corresponding move. After posting a 6.63 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 36.2 innings across 32 appearances at the big-league level earlier this season, Holder's usage will likely be primarily limited to lower-leverage spots.

Holder was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Holder's latest stay with the Yankees lasted just two days. He threw a scoreless inning Monday against the Twins in his only appearance. Nestor Cortes was recalled in a corresponding move.

Holder was recalled by the Yankees on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Holder owns an ugly 6.81 ERA in 35.2 innings for the Yankees this season. Stephen Tarpley was optioned in a corresponding move.

Holder has been optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was blown up for five earned runs in his Monday relief appearance against the Blue Jays without recording an out, prompting the Yankees to send him down to the RailRiders following the game. He's struggled for most of his 35.2 innings at the big-league level so far this season, with a 6.81 ERA, a 1.43 WHIP and two blown saves.
