Holton worked around a hit and a walk to toss 1.1 scoreless innings of relief and earn a hold in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Orioles. He struck out one. Holton has been generating fantasy value in multiple ways recently. The lefty earned a win in relief Wednesday, picked up a save on Friday and then recorded his 13th hold of the season Sunday, as he entered in the sixth inning to face the heart of Baltimore's lineup in a close game. Holton lowered his ERA to a stellar 2.17 in the process, and he should continue to be a valuable bullpen weapon for the Tigers.

Holton (6-1) pitched two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Wednesday's 7-4 victory over the Rockies. He allowed a hit and struck out one. Holton has been a revelation out of the bullpen for the Tigers, as his six wins are tied with Shelby Miller for the most on the team among relievers. The lefty also has a sparkling 2.23 ERA and seven saves, including three in his previous seven appearances. Detroit clearly trusts Holton in key spots, and his performance to date has warranted plenty of fantasy attention. Holton and Jason Foley, who recorded his team-leading 22nd save Wednesday, have emerged as Detroit's top two relief options.

Holton worked around a hit to pitch a scoreless ninth inning and earn the save in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Padres. Holton has been seeing more save opportunities lately, as this was his third since Aug. 26, and he now has seven saves for the season. Jason Foley leads the team with 20 saves, but Holton has clearly emerged as a co-closing option in Detroit. The lefty's fantasy stock appears to be on the rise.

Holton worked around a walk to pitch a scoreless ninth inning and earn the save in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Sox. Holton followed starter Tarik Skubal, who dazzled across eight innings. The Detroit reliever kept things up and earned his sixth save of the season. Presumptive top closer Jason Foley was likely available, as he last pitched on Wednesday, but the Tigers turned to Holton to face the top of Boston's lineup. That meant matchups with left-handed batters Jarren Duran and Rafael Devers, so perhaps that favored the southpaw Holton. Either way, he's firmly in the mix for saves in Detroit, and he's earned the opportunity with a strong 2.44 ERA and 0.83 WHIP across 77.1 innings this season.

Holton will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for Thursday's game against the Cubs, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. Holton has covered as much as 3.1 innings this season, but because he tossed 1.2 innings and 20 pitches in Wednesday's 8-2 win, manager A.J. Hinch isn't likely to ask the lefty to cover more than the opening frame or two. Kenta Maeda is available on six days' rest and should serve as the Tigers' bulk reliever.
