Grant Holmes has been diagnosed with elbow tightness after departing a game against the Rangers. He will be evaluated for the severity of the injury and is likely to go on the injured list, joining other injured pitchers Reynaldo Lopez, Spencer Schwellenbach, and AJ Smith-Shawver. The injury depletes an already struggling Atlanta rotation, limited to only Spencer Strider and Bryce Elder as available starters. The organization has few options in the minors, and while they may seek additional help, prospects for impactful replacements appear slim due to the competitive market for pitching.
Grant Holmes is suffering from elbow tightness after exiting his start against the Rangers today after just four innings. Holmes will get his elbow looked at to determine the severity of the issue.
Holmes will join Reynaldo Lopez, Spencer Schwellenbach, and AJ Smith-Shawver on the injured list, giving the club a full rotation of injured hurlers.
Options for rotation are slim at this point, with only capable starters Spencer Strider and Bryce Elder available.
The Braves could look to add a pitcher to help eat innings down the stretch, but they aren't likely to pay a significant price for talent.
