Derek Holland saw his velocity drop as the game progressed on Tuesday against the Athletics. Thankfully, the issue isn't a result of a shoulder or elbow problem. The left-hander has lost 10 to 15 pounds in the past 2 1/2 weeks because of a stomach virus. "I'm kinda puzzled by it," Holland said. "I've just got to keep plugging away and get that weight back and I'll be all right. I'm not freaking out." Holland is now on medication that has helped. He also has eliminated some foods, including dairy and eggs, from his diet. "It was my job to go out there as long as I could despite the fatigue," said Holland, whose velocity has dropped several miles per hour as well.
