Grant Holmes is placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation, leaving him as the last Opening Day starter in the Atlanta Braves' rotation. He has made 21 starts this season, recording a 3.99 ERA which aligns closely with his xERA and xFIP. For the first time since 2017, he has pitched 115 innings this year. Recently, Holmes experienced a decline in strikeouts, only achieving five in his last three appearances. Should his elbow issue require it, he may transition to the 60-day IL, joining four other starters on the list.
