The Tigers placed Holland on the 10-day injured list Thursday with an inflamed left shoulder.
EDGE Analysis
Holland presumably picked up the injury during his relief appearance in Wednesday's 9-6 loss to Seattle, when he retired two of the four batters he faced in an 18-pitch outing. The Tigers are likely hopeful that with a few days of rest, Holland's inflammation will calm down enough for him to resume throwing and make an expedient return from the IL. Detroit called up Alex Lange from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move, and he could be a candidate to eat innings in Thursday's series finale with the Mariners, which the Tigers plan to treat as a bullpen game.

Holland (1-1) pitched two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Tuesday against the Brewers. He didn't allow any hits or walks and struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Starter Matthew Boyd didn't make it out of the fifth, so Holland's long relief effort was much needed, and he picked up his first win of the season with the strong performance. The veteran lefty still has a 9.00 ERA and isn't in a very fantasy-friendly role most nights, so he should remain off the radar in standard leagues.

Holland (shoulder) struck out three batters in an inning of relief in Tuesday's loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Holland returned from the injured list Monday but didn't enter the game, so Tuesday marked his first appearance since May 1, and the veteran lefty looked good. He's unlikely to have a high-leverage role, however, so his fantasy value is limited moving forward.

Holland (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Holland had been on the injured list since May 3 due to a left shoulder strain, but he began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Thursday. The left-hander allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out one in two relief innings, and he'll now return to the major-league bullpen after Wilson Ramos (back) was placed on the 10-day IL in a corresponding move.

Holland (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Holland has been on the injured list since May 3 due to a left shoulder strain, but his rehab assignment should be the final step in his recovery process. Holland likely won't need to build up his workload since he pitches in short stints, so he may not require much time with Triple-A Toledo before returning to the Tigers' bullpen.

Holland was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder strain Thursday, retroactive to May 3.
EDGE Analysis
Holland last pitched May 1, and he's posted a 13.00 ERA and 2.44 WHIP in nine innings across eight appearances (one start) this season. It's not yet clear how much time Holland will miss due to his injury, but right-hander Kyle Funkhouser was recalled from the taxi squad in a corresponding move.

Holland (0-1) took the loss Friday as the Tigers fell 4-1 to Cleveland, giving up three runs on four hits and no walks over 2.2 innings. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
The southpaw got the call when Julio Teheran (triceps) was a late scratch, and while Holland wasn't likely to last deep into the game anyway, a three-run first inning led to a fairly quick hook. He did throw 46 pitches (31 strikes), and if Teheran misses another start, Holland might be the logical candidate to fill in again despite a 12.60 ERA through five innings to begin the season.

Holland will start Friday's game against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Holland tossed 1.1 relief innings against Minnesota on Monday, and he'll step in as a starter on short notice since Julio Teheran was scratched after feeling tightness in his triceps prior to Friday's contest. Holland allowed four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three in 2.1 innings during his first two outings of the year.

Holland worked around a walk to pitch a scoreless inning and record a hold in Saturday's win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Holland got the sixth inning after starter Julio Teheran pitched five innings of one-run ball. The veteran lefty made the team out of camp as a non-roster invitee and will look to turn things around after posting an ERA north of 6.00 the past two seasons. Holland should work in a middle relief role for the Tigers, so he could pick up a few holds here and there but doesn't figure to have a ton of fantasy appeal.

The Tigers selected Holland's contract Thursday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Detroit cleared room for Holland on the 40-man roster by designating outfielder Christin Stewart for assignment, while Rony Garcia (abdominal strain) was placed on the 10-day injured list to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster for the veteran southpaw. Holland is expected to work in long relief for the Tigers after he was unable to win a spot in the Opening Day rotation this spring.
