DENVER (TSX / STATS) — Colorado Rockies closer Greg Holland is day-to-day due to a cut on his right index finger, an injury that manager Bud Black said occurred Tuesday in a kitchen accident.
Holland leads the majors with 33 saves, but was unavailable Tuesday night because of the injury.
“He cut his index finger on his throwing hand,” Black said. “It’s really day-to-day. We’ll see how it progresses the next five or six hours. He gave it a shot (Tuesday night). He got up and threw, but it wasn’t going to happen. This is one of those Mother Nature things.”
Holland has posted a 1-1 mark with a 1.64 ERA and 50 strikeouts in 38 1/3 innings this season. The 31-year-old had missed all of 2016 because of Tommy John surgery.
Holland owns a 19-13 record with 178 saves and a 2.34 ERA in 349 career appearances with the Kansas City Royals and Rockies.
