Detroit Tigers
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Holton didn't make Detroit's Opening Day roster, but he was recalled early in the season despite opening with a few rough outings for Triple-A Toledo (4 HR allowed over 7.2 innings). The southpaw ended up being one of the league's most pleasant surprises, leading qualified relievers with 85.1 innings while ranking 2nd with a 0.87 WHIP. The bulk reliever mixed six pitches effectively, including a new slider (.135 BA) that he threw almost exclusively to left-handed batters. Holton's 91.5 mph 4-seamer didn't blow away hitters and his 22.8% strikeout rate was below average, but he didn't issue many free passes either. In fact, his 5.3% walk rate was T-10th among qualified relievers. However, some ratio regression should be expected in 2024, as Holton's 2.11 ERA didn't sync up with his 3.55 FIP or 3.60 SIERA. Expect the Tigers to deploy the left-hander in a similar capacity this season. Read Past Outlooks

September 15, 2024
Holton worked around a hit and a walk to toss 1.1 scoreless innings of relief and earn a hold in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Orioles. He struck out one.
ANALYSIS
Holton has been generating fantasy value in multiple ways recently. The lefty earned a win in relief Wednesday, picked up a save on Friday and then recorded his 13th hold of the season Sunday, as he entered in the sixth inning to face the heart of Baltimore's lineup in a close game. Holton lowered his ERA to a stellar 2.17 in the process, and he should continue to be a valuable bullpen weapon for the Tigers.
