Giants' Derek Holland: Moves to bullpen

Holland will immediately transition to a role in the bullpen upon the return of Johnny Cueto (elbow) on Thursday, Kerry Crowley of the Bay Area News Group reports.

With Cueto and Jeff Samardzija (shoulder) due back this week, Holland will move to a middle-relief role for the foreseeable future. Across 17 starts with the Giants, he's logged a 4.36 ERA and 1.38 WHIP while notching 83 strikeouts in 88.2 innings.
