The New York Yankees are reportedly interested in re-signing pitcher Clay Holmes, who previously played for them before joining the New York Mets. Holmes, a two-time All-Star, is currently on a rehab assignment after fracturing his fibula, with his last start seeing him throw four scoreless innings. The Yankees have scouted him, as adding Holmes could strengthen their rotation, especially with Carlos Rodón currently injured. Holmes has a $12 million player option for next season, which the Yankees may find advantageous depending on his decision following rehabilitation.
