2026 review

Colin Holderman held a setup lane together with a 2.73 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 52.2 IP across 54 games for CLE, a 22.5 K% and a 9.0 BB% over 222 BF, with 1 SV and 11 HLD. He was optioned Mar 30 and recalled Apr 26, then placed on the 15-day IL Sep 4 with right wrist inflammation and took a rehab assignment Sep 17, missing 23 regular-season days. Undrafted in NFBC drafts, he finished 265th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank and 46th of 575 relief pitchers. His 2.73 ERA ran 1.14 below his 3.87 xERA over 222 BF. His best month was May at a 1.84 ERA in 14.2 IP, his worst Aug at a 6.97 ERA in 10.1 IP. The TDK LABS card had him in early May recalled to cover a teammate's injured list stint but behind the existing high-leverage group, and by mid Jun it had him settled into setup work in a bullpen it saw as fairly straightforward, piling up holds and wins with no path to a save; by late Sep it had him on the injured list after a wrist setback forced an early exit from a rehab assignment.
