Holland had a throwing session for interested teams Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Holland spent all of 2022 at the Triple-A level in the Blue Jays and Red Sox organization, holding a 5.77 ERA over 30 relief appearances. The 36-year-old hasn't gained any traction in the majors since 2018 and undoubtedly will have to accept a minor-league deal if he wants to keep pitching.

Holland announced Wednesday via his personal Twitter account that he agreed to a minor-league deal with the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

After Toronto released another MLB veteran from the Triple-A Buffalo roster Tuesday (outfielder Dexter Fowler), the organization will bring in another player with ample MLB experience to fill his spot. Holland spent spring training with Boston before reporting to Triple-A Worcester, where he produced a 6.35 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 11.1 innings before opting out of his minor-league deal earlier this week. Holland's underwhelming numbers at Worcester means that he'll likely need a run of sustained success at Buffalo before he gets a look in the Toronto bullpen.

Holland opted out of his minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Sunday and will become a free agent, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Holland's deal contained an opt-out clause that allowed him to pursue options elsewhere if he wasn't promoted to the majors by May 1. He'll now seek a minor-league deal with another organization, though the 35-year-old southpaw may not find an active market for his services after he submitted a 6.35 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 11.1 innings at Triple-A Worcester.

Holland will head to Triple-A Worcester rather than exercise his right to opt out, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Holland was allowed to head to the open market in search of a big-league opportunity elsewhere, but he'll instead remain as organizational depth for the Red Sox. The 35-year-old lefty may not have had any major-league offers had he elected free agency, as he owns a 5.98 ERA over the last three seasons.

Holland won't make the Red Sox's Opening Day roster, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Holland was in camp as a non-roster invitee but won't convert that opportunity into a major-league deal. He has the right to opt out rather than head to the minors, but it's not yet clear whether he'll choose to do so.

Holland struck out two over two scoreless and hitless innings in Thursday's spring training game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Holland was recently signed by the Red Sox and made his Grapefruit League debut. The 13-year veteran is attempting to hook on in Boston's bullpen but can opt out of his deal Saturday if not added to the 40-man roster. It's an uphill battle for Holland, as Boston already has a handful of lefties slated for relief roles.

Holland joined the Red Sox as a non-roster invitee Friday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Holland has some solid seasons on his 14-year MLB resume, but there may not be much left in the tank for the 35-year-old lefty. His 5.07 ERA in 49.2 innings for the Tigers last season was actually his best mark since 2018. If he breaks camp in the majors, it will likely be in a low-leverage relief role.

Holland (1-2) allowed four runs (three earned) in 1.2 innings to take the loss Sunday against the Twins. He gave up three hits and three walks while striking out two.

EDGE Analysis

Holland was simply not very good in the last game before the All-Star break, allowing a pair of home runs as the Twins rallied for the 12-9 win in 10 innings. The veteran lefty now has a 10.06 ERA this season and he's squarely off the fantasy radar given his poor performance and low-leverage role.

The Tigers will activate Holland (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list on Saturday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Holland posted a 9.60 ERA and 2.07 WHIP in 15.0 innings before going on the IL a month ago with left shoulder inflammation. The lefty hasn't had a sub-6.00 ERA since 2018, so he'll almost certainly be limited to low-leverage situations, and possibly an occasional spot start, going forward this season.

Holland (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander has been sidelined nearly a month with shoulder inflammation, but he's now began the final stage of his rehab work. Holland will only be able to make a couple appearances at Toledo if he's to return before the start of the All-Star break next week.
