Grant Holman - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Claimed by Phillies The Phillies claimed Holman off waivers from Detroit on Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Impact Holman will join his fifth organization in just three months after previously spending time with the A's, Diamondbacks, Dodgers and Tigers. His move to Philadelphia will put him back on a 40-man roster, though he will begin his tenure with the club in the minors after giving up three earned runs in four innings with Detroit's Triple-A affiliate.

Loses 40-man roster spot The Tigers designated Holman for assignment Sunday.

Impact Holman will be moved off an organization's 40-man roster for the fourth time in just under three months, as the Athletics, Diamondbacks and Dodgers had all previously designated him for assignment. Since Holman hasn't been previously outrighted, he'll have to accept an assignment to Triple-A Toledo if he clears waivers. The right-hander had made three appearances (one start) for Toledo since being claimed by the Tigers on April 11, logging a 6.75 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and 3:2 K:BB over four innings.

Claimed by Detroit The Tigers claimed Holman off waivers from the Dodgers on Saturday.

Impact It's the third time this season that Holman has been cleared off waivers, and he has been optioned to the FCL after being picked up by Detroit, though he'll likely end up with Triple-A Toledo. To make room on the 40-man roster for Holman, the Tigers transferred Trey Sweeney (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list. Holman appeared in 22 regular-season games (two starts) for the Athletics in 2025 and posted a 5.09 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB across 23 innings.

Claimed by LAD The Dodgers claimed Holman off waivers from the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

Impact Holman camped with the Diamondbacks in spring training after being designated by the Athletics for assignment in early February, but he was subsequently DFA'd by Arizona after failing to make the team's Opening Day roster. He was reassigned to the minors by the Dodgers after being claimed off waivers and will likely report to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Holman appeared in 22 regular-season games (two starts) for the Athletics in 2025, finishing with a 5.09 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, three holds and a 17:9 K:BB across 23 innings.

Booted off 40-man roster The Diamondbacks designated Holman for assignment Wednesday.

Impact Holman was pushed off the 40-man roster with Arizona needing to clear three spots for infielder Ildemaro Vargas and right-handers Jonathan Loaisiga and Joe Ross, all of whom will be included on the Opening Day squad. Arizona previously scooped up the 25-year-old Holman off waivers from the Athletics in February after he turned in a 5.09 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB over 23 big-league innings last season.

Out of running for roster spot The Diamondbacks optioned Holman to Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Holman tossed a scoreless inning in his lone Cactus League appearance to date, but having a pair of minor-league options remaining might have hurt his cause for breaking camp as a member of the Diamondbacks' Opening Day bullpen. With the Athletics last season, the 25-year-old righty made 22 appearances (two starts) at the big-league level, logging a 5.09 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB in 23 innings.

Ready for spring debut Holman (finger) is scheduled to make a relief appearance Tuesday in the Diamondbacks' exhibition against Team Mexico, SI.com reports.

Impact Holman didn't pitch after June 11 last season while battling rotator cuff tendinitis in his right shoulder as well as a right middle finger strain, but he's seemingly back to 100 percent ahead of the 2026 season. Arizona claimed the right-hander off waivers from the Athletics earlier this month and could give Holman a look in a middle-innings role out of the bullpen.

Catches on with Arizona The Diamondbacks claimed Holman (finger) off waivers from the Athletics on Sunday.

Impact The addition of Holman gives the Diamondbacks an intriguing developmental arm out of the bullpen. Though he struggled to a 5.09 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB over 23 innings in the big leagues with the Athletics last season, the 6-foot-6 Holman boasts a four-pitch mix and long levers that helped him finish in the 94th percentile in extension, per Aaron Hughes of SI.com. Arizona placed A.J. Puk (elbow) on the 60-day injured list to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Holman.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Designated for assignment The Athletics designated Holman (finger) for assignment Tuesday.

Impact Holman and Mitch Spence will both lose their places on the 40-man roster to make room for new signees Scott Barlow and Aaron Civale. Holman posted a 5.09 ERA and 1.52 WHIP over 23 innings with the A's in 2025 before suffering a season-ending finger injury in June. It's unclear where he stands in his recovery, but he now seems likely to open the new season in the minor leagues.
