Colin Holderman of the Pittsburgh Pirates Placed on 15-Day Injured List Due to Thumb Inflammation

Colin Holderman's absence could impact the Pirates' bullpen depth in upcoming games against the Cincinnati Reds. In 2025, Holderman pitched in 14 games, with a 9.00 ERA and a WHIP of 2.07 over 15 innings. His last 10 games showed a slight improvement with a 5.17 ERA and a WHIP of 1.69.

Holderman previously dealt with a knee sprain in April, which also placed him on the 15-day injured list. Other relievers like Caleb Ferguson and Chase Shugart might see more action in his absence. The Pirates' closer, David Bednar, and setup man Ryan Borucki, could also be affected by the shift in bullpen roles.
