Yankees' Clay Holmes: Fewer save chances coming
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday the team will get "creative" with the closer role going forward, which could still include Holmes depending on matchups, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
Boone avoided explicitly saying that Holmes has been demoted from the closer role, but that's the clear indication even if the right-hander is still somewhat involved. The 31-year-old surrendered a grand slam Tuesday against Texas as he blew his league-leading 11th save of the season, which finally prompted the Yankees to change their approach. Holmes has been fairly effective overall with a 3.27 ERA across 55 innings, but he's allowed a lot of traffic with a 1.33 WHIP and 3.1 BB/9. Boone didn't name any alternative relievers, but Mark Leiter, Luke Weaver and Tommy Kahnle could all be in the mix for saves.

Yankees' Clay Holmes: Melts down Tuesday
Holmes (2-5) took the loss and a blown save in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Rangers, allowing four runs on two hits and two walks over one-third of an inning.
Holmes threw just 12 of 25 pitches for strikes. He loaded the bases and then gave up a walk-off grand slam to Wyatt Langford to complete the Yankees' collapse. Holmes has now blown five saves in 13 chances since the All-Star break, though he had converted three in a row while not allowing a run over his previous five appearances (4.2 innings) entering Tuesday. For the season, Holmes is 29-for-40 in save chances with a 3.27 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 60:19 K:BB through 55 innings. His struggles in August didn't cost him the closer role, but Mark Leiter and Luke Weaver would be most likely to pick up any ancillary saves if Holmes' share of the ninth inning decreases.

Yankees' Clay Holmes: Secures 29th save
Holmes earned the save in Friday's 6-3 victory over St. Louis, pitching a scoreless inning with no strikeouts.
The 31-year-old reliever made quick work of the Cardinals in the ninth, working around an inning-opening error by Anthony Volpe to retire the side on just eight pitches. Despite suffering two blown saves in August, he has pitched to a 1.93 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB with seven saves across 9.1 innings this month. He continues to lead MLB in blown saves (10), but his 29 saves puts him in the top five.

Yankees' Clay Holmes: Likely still primary closer
Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated Tuesday that he still plans for Holmes to be his primary closer, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Boone was asked about a potential closer-by-committee and said he expects Holmes to be the guy "a lot of nights." The skipper added that he could be more open now than he has been to using Holmes earlier in the game if he feels the matchups are right. Holmes leads all of baseball with 10 blown saves this season and has blown six of his last 13 opportunities. His overall numbers -- a 2.88 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 56:14 K:BB in 50 innings -- are still quite good, and Boone reiterated Tuesday that he believes Holmes is throwing the ball well and he expects him to be successful moving forward. It's not exactly a full-throated endorsement, but certainly Holmes still looks like the favorite to lead the club in saves the rest of the way. If Boone does eventually make a change, Luke Weaver, Tommy Kahnle, Michael Tonkin and Mark Leiter could all potentially be in the mix for saves.

Yankees' Clay Holmes: Blows save Sunday
Holmes was charged with a blown save in Sunday's loss to the Tigers, allowing one run on two hits while striking out three over an inning.
Holmes entered trying to preserve a 1-0 lead and was unable to do so. He allowed a one-out double to Colt Keith, who would come around to score on a base-hit from Jace Jung to send the game into extras. Since July 5, Holmes has six blown saves to his seven saves, and he leads all of baseball with 10 blown saves this season. On a positive note, he does have multiple strikeouts in each of his last four appearances and is still tied for sixth in baseball with 26 saves. For the year, Holmes owns a 2.88 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 56:14 K:BB in 50 innings.

Yankees' Clay Holmes: Resting Monday
Holmes won't be available to pitch Monday against the White Sox for rest purposes, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Holmes was forced to battle to secure a four-out save during Sunday's 8-7 victory over the Rangers, firing 24 of 45 pitches for strikes. Skipper Aaron Boone failed to disclose who he would deploy in a save situation Monday, only that Holmes would be shut down for the day following a heavy workload.

Yankees' Clay Holmes: Escapes with save Sunday
Holmes earned a save against the Rangers on Sunday, allowing one run on one hit and two walks while striking out two batters over 1.1 innings.
New York carried an 8-3 lead into the eighth frame before reliever Mark Leiter surrendered three runs on three hits and allowed the tying run to come to the plate in the form of Corey Seager. Holmes entered at that point and got Seager to ground out to squelch the threat, and the closer then began the ninth with two straight punchouts. However, he almost let things get away from him, as Holmes proceeded to issue two straight walks followed by an Adolis Garcia RBI single. Texas' rally ended up falling just short when the next batter, Leody Taveras, grounded out. Holmes thus established a new career high with 25 saves, though he's also blown a career-worst nine saves on the season.
