Braves' Grant Holmes: Re-signs with Atlanta

Holmes was credited with a save in a Cactus League win over the Padres on Friday, allowing one hit and hitting a batter over two scoreless innings while recording four strikeouts.
The 24-year-old has logged a trio of two-inning outings thus far this spring, giving up just two hits and two walks while ringing up six strikeouts overall and allowing just one earned run. Holmes got up to Triple-A Las Vegas in 2019, albeit for just a 4.2-inning sample, posting a 1.93 ERA following a 3.31 figure across 81.2 frames at Double-A Midland earlier that same season. Given his impressive showing thus far, Holmes could be in the mix for an Opening Day bullpen roster spot.

Holmes suffered a rotator cuff injury during spring training and didn't make it back into action until late August at the High-A level.

Holmes (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Holmes was able to throw on flat ground Sunday with no issues, clearing the way for him to toss a bullpen for the first time since suffering a shoulder injury earlier in camp.

Athletics' Grant Holmes: Inconsistency at Double-A
Holmes, 21, has a 5.00 ERA and 78:27 K:BB through 72 innings for Double-A Midland.
Holmes has tossed shutouts in two of his last three outings, though he was bombed in the other start. He has shown above average strikeout stuff but is still getting hit hard, as evidenced by his .298 BAA. Holmes is still working out the kinks in his delivery and command, and must also prove he can be more than a two-pitch pitcher.
