Grant Holmes Fantasy Stats

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.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Grant Holmes allowed six hits and one earned run across seven innings pitched in Saturday's 7-1 win against the San Diego Padres. The former first-round pick walked one and struck out six to even up his record at 3-3 on the season. Holmes fired 65 of 94 pitches for strikes, inducing 12 swings-and-misses for a strong 31% CSW. He had traffic on the bases for most of his outing. Still, he was able to work around a significant portion of it aside from a Manny Machado single in the top of the third that scored Brandon Lockridge after an HBP and a steal of second. The South Carolina native has been mostly effective this season, compiling a viable 3.66 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and a 55:26 K:BB ratio across 58 2/3 innings (11 appearances [ten starts]). He'll look to keep it rolling his next time out at home against the Boston Red Sox.

Atlanta Braves right-handed pitcher Grant Holmes picked up his first win of the season on Monday, pitching 7 innings of three-run ball in a 9-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Holmes allowed just two hits and two walks while striking out four in this one. It was the first time this season that Holmes went even five innings, and after back-to-back starts with four walks, he showcased much-improved control. The 29-year-old has shown flashes of ability in the past, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him emerge as a decent fantasy option. For now, however, he remains just a streamer and deep-league option.

According to Mark Bowman of MLB.com, Atlanta Braves pitchers Ian Anderson and Grant Holmes are the favorites to open the season in the rotation. With Spencer Strider (elbow) not expected to be ready for Opening Day, Atlanta will have an additional spot open in the rotation. However, Bowman noted that one of them could shift to a bullpen role once Strider is cleared to return. Holmes made his MLB debut last season and logged 68 1/3 innings to the tune of a 3.56 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP. He tallied 70 punchouts and showed strong command with a 5.3 percent walk rate. Anderson has not pitched in the MLB since 2022 after undergoing Tommy John surgery in April 2023. During the 2022 campaign, Anderson held a career-worst 5.00 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor their status during spring training as they could be viable options in deeper NL-only formats.

Atlanta Braves right-handed pitcher Grant Holmes stepped up when it mattered most in Monday's Game 2 3-0 win over the Mets. In a must-win situation, Holmes was slotted into the starting lineup after Chris Sale (back) was scratched due to back spasms. Making just his seventh start of the season, Holmes pitched four innings, allowing one hit and one walk with seven strikeouts. The 28-year-old pitched mostly out of the bullpen this season, going 2-1 with a 3.56 ERA, a 1.19 WHIP, and a 9.22 K/9 rate in 26 appearances (seven starts) over 68 1/3 IP. It will be interesting to see how he may be utilized in the postseason and what his role could be for 2025. He only notched one hold this season, so he would likely need to be slotted into a higher-leverage role next season to offer fantasy value.
