Grant Holman Fantasy Stats

The Athletics' right-handed reliever Grant Holman (finger/shoulder) has started gripping drills and is building toward a throwing progression, MLB.com reported. Holman has been on the injured list since June 19 (retroactive to June 16), and though he's no longer shut down from activity, he remains without a clear timeline for a return. Holman was first placed on the injured list because of a shoulder injury. However, the Athletics are now classifying his injury as a strain to the middle finger on his right hand. Regardless, Holman's return is still uncertain, which means that fantasy managers will want to keep tabs on him in the coming days/weeks to see how he progresses, including when he actually throws, pitches out of the bullpen, and faces live hitters. Through the season, Holman has appeared in 22 games, covering 23 innings, and has a poor 5.09 ERA and 1.52 WHIP.

The Athletics have transferred right-hander Grant Holman (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL. The move means that Holman, who has been on the IL since June 16, won't be eligible to return until mid-August. The 25-year-old struggled to a 5.09 ERA with 17 strikeouts and nine walks over 23 innings before going down with tendinitis in his right rotator cuff. Since debuting last year, the former sixth-round pick has pitched to a 4.66 ERA with 33:18 K:BB over 38 2/3 frames.

The Athletics announced on Thursday that right-handed pitcher Grant Holman (shoulder) had his Monday optional assignment voided and was placed on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to June 16) with right-shoulder rotator-cuff tendinitis, the team's communications department reports. The move also makes room on the roster for the return of J.T. Ginn (quadriceps) from the 15-day injured list. Holmes struggled mightily in his last outing, not recording an out and allowing three earned runs. That outing boosted his ERA from 3.91 to 5.09. He now has 23 innings pitched on the season and a 17:9 K:BB, which is not great. Holman belongs on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues.
