NextImg:Yankees’ Clay Holmes joining Aaron Judge, Juan Soto at MLB All-Star Game

Clay Holmes hasn’t pitched much like an All-Star the past few weeks, but he’s slated to join fellow Yankees Aaron Judge and Juan Soto at the Midsummer Classic next week in Texas.

The closer was named to the team Sunday despite a rough patch since June 13.

Over his last seven appearances, the right-hander has allowed 11 hits, eight earned runs and a pair of homers in 6 ⅔ innings.

He’s also blown a pair of saves in that stretch.

Prior to the recent downturn, though, Holmes was excellent.

In his first 30 appearances this season, Holmes was largely dominant, giving up just four earned runs and 28 hits in 29 ⅓ innings.

Holmes’ struggles may be tied to a lack of save chances thanks to the Yankees’ brutal slump.

Since June 13, the Yankees entered Sunday having lost 15 of their previous 21 games — and Holmes has played a role in their troubles — especially when he blew a save against Boston on Friday, when they were one out away from a much-needed victory.

Holmes, 31, was also an All-Star in 2022.
