The Yankees will have three representatives at the 2024 MLB All-Star Game.

Juan Soto and Aaron Judge were named starters in the outfield for the American League last week, and closer Clay Holmes will also be joining them in Texas.

This will be Holmes' second All-Star appearance.

"I'm super grateful," Holmes said. "I know how hard it is to be an All-Star, there's a lot of great talented pitchers in the league, and as soon as I heard Boone call my name I was super excited and grateful. This is a great organization to represent, a lot of coaches and teammates have pushed me along the way, so I'm excited to be part of the weekend."

The right-hander got off to a spectacular start this season, locking down his first 13 save opportunities and recording 20 consecutive appearances before he allowed a run on May 20.

Holmes has hit a bit of a rough patch of late, though, blowing a pair of saves and pitching to a brutal 10.80 ERA over his last seven appearances, which is why he admitted he was a little shocked when he found out he was selected.

The 31-year-old ranks seventh in baseball with 19 saves in 24 opportunities this season. He has a 3.00 ERA and 1.31 WHIP, and has struck out 37 batters.

Holmes joins Tyler Anderson, Corbin Burnes, Emmanuel Clase, Garrett Crochet, Tanner Houck, Mason Miller, Cole Ragans, Tarik Skubal, Kirby Yates, and Seth Lugo as the arms for the American League.
