Clay Holmes is preparing for his third rehab start as he returns from a broken right fibula, with the possibility that it could be his final appearance as a member of the New York Mets. The injury, sustained earlier in the season, has kept the pitcher sidelined, and his return timeline is now a key focus as the trade deadline approaches. Holmes, who has been part of the Mets' rotation, is expected to regain full strength before the end of the season. His rehab start schedule is being closely monitored by the team's medical staff and coaching staff. The Mets are evaluating his readiness for a full return, with the decision likely to be made in the coming weeks. (winnipegfreepress.com)
