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

Collects first save of season
Holton gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his first save of the season in a 2-1 win over the Blue Jays.
ANALYSIS
Jason Foley was brought on in the eighth inning to face Vladimir Guerrero, Bo Bichette and George Springer, leaving Holton to handle the bottom of Toronto's order. The southpaw gave up a double to Isiah Kiner-Falefa but otherwise had little trouble. With Alex Lange sent down to Triple-A on Thursday, there's a vacancy in Detroit's high-leverage crew, and Holton might be the guy to fill it. Through 18 appearances this season, he sports a 3.76 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB over 26.1 innings with three wins and two holds in addition to Saturday's save.
