Free-agent left-hander Derek Holland announced on Twitter that he will be joining the Boston Red Sox this year. Holland made 39 appearances (one start) for the Detroit Tigers in 2021 and had a 5.07 ERA and 1.57 WHIP while striking out 51 and walking 20 in 49 2/3 innings. He's made just 14 starts over the last three seasons for the San Francisco Giants, Chicago Cubs, Pittsburgh Pirates and Tigers, and he hasn't been very effective with a 5.98 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 174 2/3 total innings in that ...

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Derek Holland (shoulder) was reinstated from the injured list on Saturday. The 34-year-old is currently sitting on a 1-1 record and a miserable 9.60 ERA throughout 14 big league appearances this season. He has been on the shelf since June because of left shoulder inflammation, but he likely won't add much value to fantasy lineups unless he takes on a more prominent role in the rotation moving ahead. To make room for Holland, Matt Manning was optioned back to ...

Detroit Tigers pitcher Derek Holland (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday. He allowed one hit and one walk while striking out three across one inning during Tuesday's rehab assignment. The southpaw has been sidelined since early June with shoulder inflammation. He owns a 9.60 ERA, 2.07 WHIP, and a 20:9 K: BB across 15 innings in 2021. Holland could return after the All-Star break but fantasy managers can leave the 34-year-old on the waiver wire.

The Detroit Tigers have placed relief pitcher Derek Holland (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder strain. The team called up fellow relief pitcher Kyle Funkhouser in a corresponding move. Holland has appeared in eight games so far this year, including one start, and has struggled immensely. Over nine innings, he has allowed 16 hits and 13 earned runs while striking out nine.

Left-handed pitcher Derek Holland has been inked to a Minor League deal with the Detroit Tigers that carries an invitation to Major League Spring Training. Holland, a 12-year veteran, last appeared with Pittsburgh in 2020 and posted a 6.86 ERA over 12 appearances (five starts). After spending eight years with the Rangers to open his career, Holland has bounced around considerably, appearing in the bigs with four teams over the past four years, both as a starter and reliever. With the Tigers ...

The Pittsburgh Pirates signed pitcher Derek Holland to a minor league deal on Friday, according to an industry source. He'll receive an invite to spring training and can opt out of his deal if he's not on the Opening Day roster. Holland made 51 relief appearances for the Cubs and Giants in 2019, posting an ugly 6.08 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 8.8 K/9. The 33-year-old southpaw also made eight starts last season and has 222 career starts, so he'll be an option as a swingman for a Bucs rotation that has ...

The Chicago Cubs have acquired veteran pitcher Derek Holland from the San Francisco Giants for cash considerations. Holland has struggled this season as both a starter and reliever and was designated for assignment by the Giants last week. Holland has fared well versus lefties and that has been an issue for the Cubs bullpen this year, but he is unlikely to have much fantasy value. Reliever Tim Collins was designated for assignment to make room for Holland.
