Grant Holman - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Staying put in Triple-A Holman will remain at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, as Kyle Backhus was recalled to replace Jesus Luzardo (shoulder) on the Phillies' active roster.

Impact The Phillies originally announced that they recalled Holman from Triple-A as a corresponding move for Luzardo landing on the IL, but the team later decided to promote Backhus instead. Holman owns a 3.60 ERA and 1.17 WHIP at the Triple-A level this season and gave up five unearned runs during his lone outing with the Phillies.

Back in majors The Phillies recalled Holman from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Impact Holman was sent down to Triple-A on Sunday, but he'll reverse course and rejoin Philadelphia's bullpen as Jesus Luzardo (shoulder) moves to the injured list. Holman gave up five unearned runs while recording one out during his season debut Saturday and will likely be reserved for low-leverage situations.

Optioned to Triple-A The Phillies optioned Holman to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Impact Holman gave up five runs while recording just one run in his lone appearance for the Phillies this season, but his ERA is still 0.00 because all five of those runs were unearned. His spot in the bullpen was taken by Tanner Banks, who returned from the 60-day injured list.

Added to Philadelphia bullpen The Phillies recalled Holman from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Impact Holman was a waiver claim of the Phillies back in May and has posted a 3.60 ERA and 28:7 K:BB over 30 innings at the Triple-A level in 2026. He made 40 appearances for the Athletics over the previous two seasons, holding a 4.66 ERA and 33:18 K:BB in 38.2 frames.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Triple-A Lehigh Valley activated Holman (undisclosed) from the 7-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact After completing a rehab assignment with Single-A Clearwater, Holman gave up three runs (one earned) on three hits and no walks while striking out one in 1.1 innings Wednesday in his return to Triple-A ball. Through 13.2 minor-league innings this year, the 26-year-old right-hander has a 6.59 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 20:5 K:BB.

JULY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Shelved at Triple-A Triple-A Lehigh Valley placed Holman on its 7-day injured list May 30 due to an unspecified injury.

Impact After claiming Holman off waivers from the Tigers on May 7, the Phillies optioned him to Triple-A. Before landing on the shelf, he made five relief appearances for Lehigh Valley and turned in a 7.11 ERA, 1.97 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB in 6.1 innings.

JUNE 18 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MAY 7 • ROTOWIRE

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.

APRIL 13 • DODGERSWAY.COM

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.

APRIL 2 • Associated Press

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.

APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

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.
