Tyler Holton of the Detroit Tigers has seen a turnaround in his season, particularly following adjustments to his changeup during key games in August 2026. After struggling earlier in the season with a 4.50 ERA, Holton's changeup now limits opposing hitters, resulting in improved numbers since June 1. His recent performance comes as the Tigers surge in the standings, thanks in part to strengthened bullpen efforts and solid defensive support. The Tigers aim to maintain this momentum as they head into the latter half of the season.
