Phillies option Grant Holman to Triple-A on Sunday

Grant Holman

PHI Relief Pitcher #51

Player Stats

Phillies optioned RHP Grant Holman to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

With Tanner Banks (forearm) returning from the injured list on Sunday, someone needed to get the boot to clear a spot in the Phillies’ bullpen and it looks like Holman drew the short straw this time. The 26-year-old righty made just one appearance in his time with the big league club, giving up four unearned runs in 1/3 of an inning.

Phillies recalled RHP Grant Holman from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Holmes, 26, will be making his Phillies and 2026 debut four months after being claimed off waivers from the Tigers. He has a career 4.66 ERA in 38 2/3 innings with the A’s in 2024 and ’25.

Phillies claimed RHP Grant Holman off waivers from the Tigers; optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Holman is with his fourth organization in three months after being DFA’d by the A’s, the Dodgers and the Tigers. The 25-year-old has a 4.66 ERA in 38 2/3 innings, all with the A’s, as a major league reliever.

Tigers claimed RHP Grant Holman off waivers from the Dodgers.

Holman heads to the Motor City as organizational relief depth after spending roughly two weeks with the Dodgers. The 25-year-old righty holds a pedestrian 4.66 ERA and 33/13 K/BB ratio across 38 2/3 innings in the majors since 2024. He’ll presumably open up at Triple-A Toledo for now.

Dodgers claimed RHP Grant Holman off waivers from the Diamondbacks.

Holman heads to his third different team in less than two months after being waived by the Athletics in mid-February. The 25-year-old righty holds a pedestrian 4.66 ERA and 33/13 K/BB ratio across 38 2/3 innings in the majors since 2024. He’ll head to Triple-A Oklahoma City as organizational relief depth for Los Angeles.
Grant Holman

AZ Relief Pitcher #92

Diamondbacks designated RHP Grant Holman for assignment.

Holman, who was claimed off waivers from the A’s in February, made just one appearance for the Diamondbacks this spring before being optioned out. He’ll go back on waivers now, and since he does have two options years left, there’s a decent chance he’ll be claimed.
Ryan Waldschmidt

AZ Left Fielder #73

Diamondbacks optioned LHPs Mitch Bratt and Kohl Drake, RHPs Juan Burgos and Grant Holman and INF Jose Fernandez to Triple-A Reno; Reassigned RHPs Gerardo Carrillo, Taylor Rashi, Hayden Durke and Junior Fernandez, LHP Spencer Giesting, INFs LuJames Groover, Cristofer Torin and Tommy Troy and OFs A.J. Vukovich and Ryan Waldschmidt to minor league camp.

The most interesting name among this batch of cuts for the Diamondbacks is Ryan Waldschmidt. He had started to gain some steam in fantasy circles as a sleeper candidate, but he was always facing an uphill battle at earning a spot on the Diamondbacks’ Opening Day roster. The 23-year-old hit .240 (6-for-25) with one homer, five RBI and one stolen base during Cactus League play. He should get an opportunity with the Snakes at some point in 2026.
Grant Holman

AZ Pitcher #67

Diamondbacks claimed RHP Grant Holman off of waivers from the Athletics.

The A’s removed the 25-year-old hurler from their 40-man roster earlier in the week when they made their signing of Scott Barlow official. Holman has proven to be an outstanding reliever in the minor leagues but has yet to be able to translate that success to the game’s highest level. He makes for a solid depth addition to the Diamondbacks’ bullpen.
Grant Holman

ATH Pitcher #67

Athletics designated RHP Grant Holman for assignment.

Holman, 25, has been an outstanding minor league reliever, but he’s produced a 4.66 ERA with a disappointing 19% strikeout rate in 38 2/3 innings for the A’s the last two seasons. Replacing him on the roster with Scott Barlow is probably an upgrade for the A’s.
Grant Holman

ATH Relief Pitcher #67

Athletics transferred RHP Grant Holman to the 60-day injured list.

Holman will be on the shelf until at least mid-August as he recovers from right shoulder tendinitis. The 25-year-old righty has posted a lackluster 5.09 ERA across 23 innings (22 appearances, two starts) this season in the big leagues. There’s a chance he doesn’t make it back to the Athletics’ relief mix until the late stages of the second half.
Grant Holman

ATH Relief Pitcher #67

Athletics placed RHP Grant Holman on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 16, with right shoulder cuff tendinitis.

The A’s had optioned Holman to Triple-A on Monday, but that option was rescinded, and he was placed on the injured list instead. No word yet on the severity of the injury or how much time Holman stands to miss.

Rangers placed RHP Cal Quantrill on the 15-day injured list with right lat tightness.

The issue cropped up for Quantrill during Saturday’s start against the Blue Jays. It’s not expected to be a long-term concern, but Quantrill wasn’t going to be able to make his next start so the Rangers will swap him out for an extra bullpen arm. Winston Santos was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.

Kyle Tucker (leg) was held out of the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Giants.

Tucker made an early exit from Saturday’s game after fouling a ball off of his right leg. The injury isn’t believed to be serious, but Tucker was still sore on Sunday so the Dodgers opted to give him an extra day off to rest. Enrique Hernandez will start in his place and will bat eighth against Giants’ left-hander Matt Wilkinson.

River Ryan is set to make his first start for the Tigers on Monday against the Nationals.

The 28-year-old right-hander has been battling through a hamstring injury over the past couple of weeks and is finally ready to show the Tigers what he can do at the MLB level. He’s only expected to work a few innings in the game and will be piggybacked by Keider Montero, so fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him to have a shot at earning a victory.

Dylan Cease underwent an MRI exam on his right shoulder on Saturday night.

The results of that exam are not yet known, but Cease will not make his scheduled start against the Orioles in Baltimore on Wednesday. Blue Jays’ skipper John Schneider did not rule out the chance that he pitches over the season’s final weekend against the Reds. Cease has been complaining of fatigue in his shoulder, the result of carrying a heavy load for the Jays’ pitching staff this season.

George Springer is not in the Blue Jays’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Rangers.

The 37-year-old slugger gets a breather after starting every other game this week for the Jays. He’ll likely be used off the bench in a key late game situation if one arises on Sunday afternoon.
