Clay Holmes Shifts to Bullpen Role for Mets' Sunday Game

New York Mets pitcher Clay Holmes will be available out of the bullpen for the team's final home game of the regular season on Sunday against the Washington Nationals. This comes after a previous outing where Holmes started and pitched four innings, followed by Sean Manaea. Manager Carlos Mendoza highlighted the flexibility of both pitchers, noting their past experience in different roles. While Holmes, like Manaea, is considered a starter, he is "on board" with coming out of the bullpen, understanding the different routine required. This strategic decision allows the Mets to utilize Holmes's capabilities in a relief capacity for the upcoming game.
