The Cleveland Guardians have been without Shawn Armstrong for nearly a month, losing him to the injured list with a groin strain. In his place, Colin Holderman has performed well for the team at the major league level.
The Cleveland Guardians' coaching staff isn't worried about what Colin Holderman has to offer on the mound, trusting that his deep pitch mix allows the team to succeed when he is on the mound.
On Saturday, May 2, the Guardians played in game two of a three-game set against the Sacramento Athletics, beating them convincingly. With 14 runs being scored, Cleveland ended up posting 14 hits and six walks drawn.
The Cleveland Guardians' bullpen has struggled over the past couple of weeks, and will now have to introduce another relatively questionable arm in Colin Holderman to its mix following an injury to veteran reliever Shawn Armstrong.
