Holmes (forearm) signed a minor-league-deal with Pittsburgh that includes an invitation to spring training Friday.
The 27-year-old was non-tendered by the Pirates earlier this week, but he'll return to the organization on a lesser deal. Holmes spent most of the 2020 season on the shelf with a right forearm strain, and it's unclear if he's expected to be ready for the start of spring training, though the invite to big-league camp is an encouraging sign.
