Michael Feliz To DL, Clay Holmes Recalled
6 years agoPittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Michael Feliz was placed on the 10-day DL Sunday with shoulder inflammation. Feliz has 39 strikeouts in 32.2 innings, but has a 1.47 WHIP and 5.51 ERA. His xFIP, which is based on outcomes that do not involve fielding, is 3.93 which shows he should have better numbers. Feliz will be replaced by righty Clay Holmes. According to Liz Bloom of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, "In 13 games (66 1/3 innings) for Indianapolis this season, Holmes has a 3.39 ERA and 71 strikeouts. In his last four starts, he has allowed just two earned runs over 25 1/3 innings." Expect him to be a long relief guy along with Tyler Glasnow.
