Grant Holmes Fantasy Stats

Atlanta Braves right-hander Grant Holmes' spot in the starting rotation is being skipped on Wednesday in the matchup on the road in Seattle against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park, with veteran left-hander Martin Perez getting the nod in the series finale. It doesn't mean that Holmes is heading to the bullpen, though, and he could make his next start this weekend in L.A. in an even tougher matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Holmes isn't injured, but the Braves might want to give him a little extra rest before his next outing after he failed to get into the sixth inning in three of his last four starts. The 30-year-old former 22nd overall pick by the Dodgers in 2014 has struggled mightily of late to raise his season ERA to 4.34 and his WHIP to 1.31 in seven starts across 37 1/3 innings pitched. Holmes has fanned 29 and walked 17. If he does make his next start against the Dodgers this weekend on the road, fantasy managers should be looking to bench him.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Grant Holmes had his 2025 season cut short after he suffered a partially torn UCL in his elbow in late July. However, the 29-year-old opted against surgery and is reportedly fully healthy and ready to go heading into 2026. Before getting injured last season, Holmes pitched to a 4-9 record with a 3.99 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 123 strikeouts across 115 innings (21 starts). Command was an issue for the right-hander, as he logged an inflated 11% walk rate. However, Holmes showed an ability to miss bats with a 25% strikeout rate, and he's logged 16 strikeouts across 12 1/3 innings so far this spring. With Braves starters Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow) and Hurston Waldrep (elbow) both going down in Spring Training with elbow injuries, Holmes should be locked into a spot in the Atlanta rotation. Holmes carries significant injury risk himself, but he could be a quality late-round source of strikeouts for fantasy managers to target in drafts heading into 2026.

Atlanta Braves president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos confirmed that right-hander Grant Holmes (elbow) will be in the team's Opening Day starting rotation, according to Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Holmes dealt with a partially torn UCL in his right elbow late last season and missed the final two months, but he was able to avoid surgery and is now ready to rock for the start of the 2026 campaign. The 29-year-old went 4-9 with a 3.99 ERA (4.40 FIP) and 1.34 WHIP with 123 strikeouts and 54 walks in 115 innings over 22 appearances (21 starts) before his elbow injury in his second year in the big leagues. Holmes will have a starting role to begin the year, but he'll be a major injury risk and a good bet to regress if his walk rate is anywhere near what it was in 2025 (11%). Fantasy managers in mixed leagues should avoid Holmes.

Atlanta Braves pitcher Grant Holmes (elbow) was diagnosed with a partially torn UCL last season and shut down at the end of July. He opted not to undergo surgery, instead resting and rehabbing, and now he wonders if it was a pre-existing condition, based on his quick recovery so quickly. The 29-year-old righty has no restrictions coming into spring training and could end up in the starting rotation that has already lost Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow) for an extended period of time to start the season. Holms will join Reynaldo L pez, Spencer Strider, and Chris Sale as the established rotation pieces, with Bryce Elder, Hurston Waldrep, and Joey Wentz competing for the fifth spot. Holmes went 4-9 with a 3.99 ERA, 4.40 FIP, and 123 strikeouts in his 115 innings last season. How well his elbow responds to the spring workload will be critical to monitor to see if he breaks camp in the starting rotation for the Braves.

Atlanta Braves right-hander Grant Holmes (elbow) is out for the season after landing on the 60-day injured list on July 27 with a partial tear of his UCL. Holmes, who has opted to take the rest-and-rehab route instead of undergoing elbow surgery, is optimistic that he'll be able to return next season. The 29-year-old expects to begin the important step of throwing simulated games in the fall, as he told David O'Brien of The Athletic that he's targeting "the beginning of November." There is always the possibility of Holmes needing surgery sometime before next season, which would likely wipe out his 2026 campaign. If his rehab is successful, though, the former first-round pick will try to build on a season in which he registered a 3.99 ERA with 123 strikeouts over a career-high 21 starts and 115 innings. In his most memorable start of 2025, Holmes punched out 15 Colorado Rockies in just 6 1/3 innings on June 15. He took the loss despite allowing only two earned runs.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Olivia Sayer reported Monday that Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Grant Holmes (elbow) will opt for non-surgical rehabilitation of his right elbow inflammation. Holmes was placed on the 60-day injured list on July 27, so his season would have been over regardless of his rehab approach. The 29-year-old popped onto fantasy radars in 2024 and he had logged a 3.99 ERA, a 1.34 WHIP, and a 25.0% strikeout rate in 115 innings pitched this season before landing on the IL. Fantasy managers should check in next spring for more info on his rehab.

The Atlanta Braves have placed right-hander Grant Holmes (elbow) on the 60-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation. Holmes reported tightness following his start against the Rangers on Saturday, where he allowed four runs on six hits and two walks with two strikeouts over four innings. Now in his second year with Atlanta, Holmes owns a 3.99 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 22 appearances. The 29-year-old has seen a sharp increase in his walk rate, jumping from 1.98 to 4.23 per nine innings. That trend may help explain his inconsistency at the major league level.

The Atlanta Braves will place right-hander Grant Holmes (elbow) on the 15-day injured list with elbow tightness, manager Brian Snitker announced. Holmes started the Braves' 6-5 loss to the Texas Rangers on Saturday and left after surrendering four earned runs on six hits with 2:2 K:BB in four innings. Despite a 4-9 record, the 29-year-old has recorded decent production this season. Holmes has pitched to a 3.99 ERA with an impressive 123 strikeouts (against 54 walks) and a 1.34 WHIP over 115 frames. He'll now join fellow Braves starters Chris Sale, Spencer Schwellenbach, AJ Smith-Shawver, and Reynaldo Lopez on the IL. It's unclear how the injury-ravaged Braves plan to replace Holmes.

Atlanta Braves starter Grant Holmes was lights-out on Tuesday night, earning a no-decision by throwing six scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts while allowing three hits and three walks in his team's 4-0 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. In 96 innings pitched this season, the veteran right-hander has pitched to a 3.47 ERA and 1.24 WHIP with 113 strikeouts. The only major blemish on Holmes' resume so far this season has been walks. He entered the night sporting an 11.2% walk rate, a significant increase from the 5.3% walk rate he recorded in 2024. Even still, Holmes has been an excellent source of strikeouts for fantasy managers so far this season. His next scheduled start will come on Sunday at home against the Baltimore Orioles in a strong matchup.

Atlanta Braves right-hander Grant Holmes (3-6) took a hard-luck loss against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday despite piling up 15 strikeouts. Holmes accomplished the feat over just 6 1/3 innings, but a lack of run support cost him in a lopsided 10-1 affair. The 29-year-old gave up three runs (two earned) on just two hits and two walks. Holmes has been solid overall this season - his first as a full-time starter - with a 3.97 ERA and 92 strikeouts against 34 walks over 79 1/3 frames. While he isn't a must-start for fantasy managers, Holmes does have a favorable matchup on Saturday against the Miami Marlins.
