The Mets aren't considering shifting Holmes to the bullpen to limit his innings, Will Sammon and Tim Britton of The Athletic report.

The 32-year-old former closer for the Yankees was converted to a starting role this season and has more than held his own, posting a 3.48 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 86:43 K:BB over 108.2 innings. That's already 45.2 innings more than he pitched during the regular season last year, however, and Holmes' recent performances suggest he could be feeling the strain of that workload, as he has a 5.66 ERA over four July starts. The Mets do have the depth to move the right-hander to the bullpen once the likes of Tylor Megill (elbow) get healthy -- even before factoring top prospects like Nolan McLean, or any trade deadline additions, into the rotation mix -- but the team doesn't have any plans to make that move pre-emptively. Holmes will try to get back on track when he takes the mound Friday in San Francisco.

Kikuchi (4-7) was charged with the loss Thursday versus the Mariners after allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks across 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

The left-hander kept Seattle off the board and had a 1-0 lead through four innings, but Julio Rodriguez and Randy Arozarena went deep in the fifth to flip the script. It was just the second time this season, and first since April 26, that Kikuchi failed to last at least five frames. The 34-year-old has a 3.23 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 127:54 K:BB over 122.2 innings this season and lines up to make his next start at home versus the Rangers next week.

Evans (4-3) earned the win Thursday against the Angels after allowing one run on three hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out three.

Evans threw just 45 of 79 pitches for strikes and tied a season high with three walks, but he otherwise scattered a double and three singles to limit the Angels to one first-inning run. The 24-year-old picked up his first victory since May 27, though that covered only a span of five starts, as he spent most of June in the minors. Through his first 11 big-league outings, Evans has a 3.64 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 43:21 K:BB across 59.1 innings.

Cobb received injections in his left hip during the All-Star break to treat inflammation as he continues to deal with pain in both hips, MLB.com reports.

Cobb has received several injections in recent months as he slowly recovers from hip issues that have sidelined him all year. The veteran righty was officially added to the injured list in February due to right hip inflammation, though his surgically repaired left hip has also been giving him problems. Cobb did complete a bullpen session Tuesday and the team is still optimistic that he could return late in the season, but his fantasy impact is likely to be minimal even if he does.

Darvish (0-3) took the loss Thursday in St. Louis after allowing eight runs on eight hits and two walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out three.

The right-hander didn't surrender any long balls through his first three starts of the year, but St. Louis tagged him for two three-run homers during the second inning Thursday. Darvish threw 49 of 68 pitches for strikes but generated only seven whiffs and got tagged for four extra-base hits in total. The 38-year-old didn't make his season debut until July 7 due to an elbow injury, and he has a rough 9.18 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 11:9 K:BB over 16.2 innings through his first four starts of 2025.

Gray (10-4) picked up the win Thursday against the Padres despite giving up seven runs (six earned) on 11 hits and no walks over five innings. He struck out five.

The veteran right-hander was able to notch his 10th win of the campaign even though he gave up 11 hits and at least six earned runs for a second straight start. Since throwing a complete-game shutout June 27 in Cleveland, Gray has scuffled to an 8.34 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 27:2 K:BB in his last five starts. The poor stretch has inflated his ERA to 4.33, though he still has a 1.19 WHIP and 128:19 K:BB across 116.1 innings.

Povich (hip) made a rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, striking out six while allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and two walks in five innings.

Povich made his third rehab appearance since he suffered a setback in his recovery from left hip inflammation in late June, and he was able to push up his pitch count to 70. The Orioles will need to add a sixth starter to the mix during the upcoming week, so Povich could be an option to return from the 15-day injured list to pitch in one half of a doubleheader next Tuesday with the Blue Jays.

Bradish (elbow) made his first rehab start with High-A Aberdeen on Thursday, striking out four while allowing one earned run on two hits and one walk in two innings.

Bradish made his first appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery last June, tossing 37 pitches over his two-inning appearance. The 28-year-old right-hander encouragingly touched 97 miles per hour with his fastball and also generated seven whiffs. Fantasy managers can consider Bradish worthy of stashing in most formats -- the righty held a strong 2.75 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 53:15 K:BB over eight starts in 2024 before suffering the season-ending elbow injury -- but he's unlikely to rejoin Baltimore's rotation until mid-to-late August since he'll need several more rehab appearances to get stretched back out.

Snell (shoulder) is slated for a minor-league rehab appearance with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday and is aiming to throw about five innings or 75 pitches, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Snell has already completed three rehab outings, compiling a 2.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 17:1 K:BB over nine innings. He worked up to 58 pitches across four frames in his most recent appearance Sunday, marking his longest rehab start to date. Saturday's outing with OKC could be his final one before he's activated off the injured list, as Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday, "Once we get through that, there will be a real discussion on if he should join us or do another one."

Olson (4-4) took the loss after throwing 5.2 innings, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four, during Thursday's 11-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

The normally reliable Olson faltered Thursday against the surging Blue Jays, allowing a season-high five runs in 5.2 innings of work. In particular, the home runs are what hurt the 25-year-old, as he surrendered two long balls this start after giving up only three entering the game all season. The right-hander's streak of nine straight starts allowing three runs or fewer is over, and he's scheduled to have a chance to restart that streak at home against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
