Rotowire
Holloway signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Feb. 9.
Holloway, 27, held an 8.20 ERA and 45:39 K:BB over 26.3 innings at Triple-A in 2023 split between the Cubs and White Sox systems in his first year as a full-time reliever. The hard-throwing righty has some strikeout upside but hasn't ever been able to find the plate often enough for it to matter.

Rotowire
Holloway (oblique) has made two appearances for Triple-A Iowa since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list June 2, working 1.2 innings while allowing four earned runs on five hits and one walk.
Holloway had been sidelined since spring training after suffering a moderate right oblique strain during a Cactus League appearance. The right-hander was cleared to begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Myrtle Beach on May 19 and was advanced to Iowa after striking out nine and giving up just one earned run across 5.1 innings with the lower-level affiliate.

Cubs' Jordan Holloway: Nursing oblique injury
Rotowire
Cubs manager David Ross said Holloway suffered a moderate right oblique strain in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Diamondbacks, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander, who is attending camp as a non-roster invitee, failed to retire a batter and was charged with two runs on two hits prior to departing. Ross didn't provide a timeline for Holloway, but given the nature of the injury, the right-hander is likely to miss enough Cactus League action to take him out of contention for a spot in the Cubs' Opening Day bullpen.

Cubs' Jordan Holloway: Joins Cubs on MiLB deal
Rotowire
Holloway (elbow) signed a minor-league contract with the Cubs on Monday, which includes an invitation to spring training, Fish on the Farm reports.
Holloway underwent arthroscopic elbow surgery in August of 2022, so it's unclear whether he's returned to full strength at this time. However, he'll have a chance to battle for a spot on the Opening Day roster once healthy. Holloway figures to compete for a spot in Chicago's bullpen, though he does have big-league experience as a starter.

Marlins' Jordan Holloway: Outrighted off roster
Rotowire
Holloway (elbow) was activated off the 60-day injured list and outrighted to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Holloway underwent arthroscopic elbow surgery in early August. The transaction doesn't mean he's now healthy -- it just means he'll continue his recovery while no longer a member of the 40-man roster. He only made a single appearance at the big-league level this season and only threw 23.2 innings in the minors, spending most of the season on the shelf.

Marlins' Jordan Holloway: Moves to 15-day IL
Rotowire
The Marlins placed Holloway on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right elbow impingement, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
After being called up from Triple-A Jacksonville coming out of the All-Star break, Holloway made one appearance out of the bullpen in Monday's series opener in Cincinnati, covering 2.2 innings while allowing one earned run on three hits and a walk. He apparently picked up the injury in that outing and now won't be available to rejoin the Miami bullpen until at least Aug. 10. Miami called up Daniel Castano from Triple-A in a corresponding move, and he'll draw the start in Thursday's series finale with the Reds.

Rotowire
Holloway (undisclosed) was activated off the injured list for Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Holloway had been out since early May with an unspecified injury. He's made three rehab appearances, striking out 10 and walking four while allowing three runs on five hits across six innings of work. He'll be able to push for a return to the majors now that he's healthy, but he isn't necessarily near the top of the Marlins' list of spot starters.

Holloway hasn't pitched for Triple-A Jacksonville since April 15 due to an unspecified injury.

Marlins' Jordan Holloway: Dealing with injury in minors
Rotowire
Holloway, who resides on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Jacksonville due to an unspecified issue, recently resumed a throwing program, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The 25-year-old righty was placed on the IL on April 16, one day after making his second start of the season for Jacksonville. Holloway still possesses a spot on the Marlins' 40-man roster, but once he returns from the 7-day injured list, he'll likely be behind several other pitchers for a potential promotion to Miami.

Marlins' Jordan Holloway: Reports to Jacksonville
Rotowire
The Marlins optioned Holloway to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Holloway moved up and down between the big leagues and Triple-A throughout the 2021 campaign, ultimately finishing with a 4.00 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 36 innings over 13 appearances with Miami. Though he served as more of a swingman during his various stints with the Marlins, Holloway is expected to work primarily as a starter while he's in Jacksonville.

Marlins' Jordan Holloway: Another poor start
Rotowire
Holloway allowed five runs (four earned) on three hits and four walks while striking out four in 2.1 innings in a no-decision versus Baltimore on Wednesday.
Miami jumped out to a 5-0 lead early Wednesday, but Holloway gave it all back by the time he was done. He threw only 32 of his 60 pitches for strikes in the short start. The right-hander's ERA spiked to 4.00 with a 1.36 WHIP and 36:26 K:BB across 36 innings this season. Wednesday was also the first time he allowed multiple home runs, as both Pedro Severino and Trey Mancini went yard against the 25-year-old. Holloway figures to remain in a Miami rotation decimated by injuries -- he lines up for a home start versus the Mets next week.

Marlins' Jordan Holloway: Staying in rotation
Rotowire
Holloway is scheduled to start Wednesday's game in Baltimore, Bally Sports Florida reports.
Holloway will earn a second straight turn through the rotation, despite giving the Marlins only 3.2 innings while surrendering three runs (two earned) on three hits and five walks in a July 22 loss to the Padres. The Marlins' decision to stick with Holloway likely stems from their lack of healthy alternatives; six starting pitchers on the 40-man roster are on the MLB or minor-league injured list, and another (Paul Campbell) is serving a suspension. Miami at least appears on track to return All-Star Trevor Rogers (back) from the IL within the next few days, so Holloway could be headed to the bullpen or to Triple-A Jacksonville following Wednesday's start.
