Derek Holland, long-time Texas Rangers lefthanded pitcher, has been designated for assignment by the San Francisco Giants. Holland was DFA’d in a move that was announced Sunday, but that I must have missed.
The Giants have 7 days from Sunday to waive, trade or release Holland, who was signed to a 1 year, $7 million deal this offseason by San Francisco, with a team option for 2020. Holland has a 5.90 ERA and a 6.08 FIP in 68.2 IP over 7 starts and 24 relief appearances, and thus would seem to be unlikely to be claimed.
