Brock Holt Fantasy Stats

The Atlanta Braves signed free-agent infielder Brock Holt and relief pitcher Brad Brach to minor league deals with invites to spring training. Holt comes to Atlanta after hitting .209/.281/.298 with two home runs, 23 RBI and five steals in 260 plate appearances over 76 games for the Texas Rangers last year. The 33-year-old veteran has a career .262/.332/.362 slash line with 25 home runs, 234 RBI and 41 steals in 751 games over 10 big-league seasons. He'll serve as infield and outfield depth off the bench if he makes the Opening Day roster. Brach had a 6.30 ERA and 1.60 WHIP with 33 K's and 18 walks in 30 relief innings for the Cincinnati Reds in 2021. The right-hander has 34 career saves and will serve as relief depth in the organization.

Texas Rangers third baseman Brock Holt is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against left-hander Sean Manaea and the Oakland Athletics. Charlie Culberson is getting the start at third base and batting eighth in the game. Holt has been a regular in the starting lineup lately, but the same-handed matchup against Manaea on Thursday will send him to the bench. Holt has yet to find much comfort at the plate so far this year. Through 42 games, he's slashed just .213/.310/.299 with one home run, 12 RBI and 13 runs.

Texas Rangers infielder Brock Holt (hamstring) was activated off the 10-day injured list on Friday. The 32-year-old infielder/outfielder had been sidelined since early May due to a hamstring issue. He started at third base and finished with one hit in four plate appearances during his first game back. Holt is great depth for the Rangers, but doesn't offer much upside in terms of fantasy production. He can be avoided in basically all fantasy formats going forward.

Texas Rangers utility man Brock Holt (hamstring) was seen taking batting practice prior to Thursday's game against the Houston Astros. Holt suffered a left hamstring strain on May 4 and has been on the injured list ever since. He is eligible to be activated from the injured list on Friday, but it's unclear when he'll be ready to return. He will likely need at least a few more days. Through 15 games this year, Holt is slashing .250/.377/.295 with no home runs, two doubles, two stolen bases, five RBI and two runs.

Texas Rangers utility player Brock Holt (hamstring) was activated from the injured list on Saturday and went 0-for-2 with a walk and a strikeout during the club's 6-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. The veteran player had been out with a hamstring strain. Prior to getting hurt, Holt had been hitting .250 with a double and five walks in four games. He was originally signed by the club back in February as a minor league free agent but made the big league roster after a solid spring. In 2020, he split the season between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Washington Nationals but struggled with a 53 wRC+. Anderson Tejeda was returned to the alternate training site in a corresponding move.

Texas Rangers utility man Brock Holt (hamstring) was placed on the injured list on Friday. Young infielder Anderson Tejeda was recalled from the club's alternate training site to take his place. With Rougned Odor expelled from the organization, Holt was seeing extensive playing time at the hot corner prior to getting hurt. In four games, he had a 146 wRC+ and a .471 OBP so his contributions will no doubt be missed. Last season, he struggled with the bat and produced a wRC+ of just 53. Tejeda is likely to be a more attractive fantasy option due to his impressive power potential but he also comes with significant swing-and-miss tendencies.

Texas Rangers utility player Brock Holt learned on Wednesday that he would be on the club's opening day roster. The move will give the Rangers added versatility as the veteran player handled third base, first base, and the outfield in 2020. Just two years ago, he also filled in at second base and shortstop. Holt has performed well this spring in limited opportunities and is 6-for-20 (.273) with two stolen bases and a BB-K of 5-3. He had a disappointing season in 2020 split between the Washington Nationals and Milwaukee Brewers. He produced a 53 wRC+ with no home runs and just one steal. He'll serve as outfield depth for a club that has a number of ailing players in David Dahl (knee), Khris Davis (quad), and Willie Calhoun (groin).

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a left index finger fracture. The timing of the injury appears destined to end Eatons 2020 campaign, which ultimately finishes as the weakest offensively of his nine-year career. To take his place on the active roster, the club activated Brock Holt from the paternity list. Known as a utility man throughout much of his career, Holt could step into Eatons spot in the outfield over the final week-plus, having some upside potential in deep season-long formats due to the .316 average that he has amassed since joining the Nationals.

Washington Nationals infielder Brock Holt was placed on the paternity list on Monday afternoon. Jake Noll was recalled from the team's alternate training site as a corresponding move. Noll slashed .285/.327/.410 with 11 homers, 54 RBI, and five stolen bases across 118 games at Triple-A Fresno in 2019. There are some offensive tools in Noll's game, but he will need to impress quickly to stay up with the team for the rest of 2020.

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman/outfielder Brock Holt was designated for assignment prior to Saturdays contest against Pittsburgh, effectively ending his tenure with the organization after just 36 plate appearances. Manager Craig Counsell said that he did not expect Holt to stick with the club in the case that he clears waivers. Holt has opened the year just 3-for-30 at the plate with no extra-base hits and a -8 OPS+. Having proven to be a valuable role player over the past decade, its likely that Holt gets claimed off waivers, but he retains little season-long value at this stage.
