Fantasy Impact
With the exception of Isaac Paredes, Holmes handled the Astros' bats well on Saturday. The righty is now 10-5 on the season, and he has given up no more than two runs in 7-of-9 starts dating back to the beginning of August. In that stretch, Holmes has posted a 2.56 ERA and 1.16 WHIP across 45 2/3 innings. Holmes could get one more start before the playoffs begin. That would likely come next weekend in Miami.

Holmes didn't quite have his best stuff Sunday, finding the zone with just 40-of-71 pitches and having to manage plenty of traffic on the base paths. Still, the righty battled and kept his club in the contest, exiting with two on and the Braves down 2-1 in the fifth. Holmes has been very good over his eight starts dating back to the beginning of August, delivering a 2.50 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 46.3% groundball rate across 39 2/3 innings.

Holmes faced the minimum through three frames Wednesday afternoon. Unfortunately, inclement weather ended his outing at that point.

Holmes is likely to return to the mound Tuesday against the Rays.

He'll move forward with a respectable 3.71 ERA and 1.34 WHIP through 128 2/3 innings.
