Holmes took a no-decision against the Phillies on Monday, allowing three hits and two walks in six scoreless innings. He struck out six.
Holmes looked sharp Monday, blanking a potent Philadelphia lineup over six frames. The six strikeouts were the right-hander's most since May 23 versus the Nationals, and he's now turned in five scoreless starts in his last seven since the beginning of August. He's in line to wrap up a two-start week in a home rematch with the Phillies this weekend, holding a 3.46 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 110:57 K:BB over 137.2 innings for the season.

Braves' Grant Holmes: Strong start cut short by rain
Rotowire
Holmes didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 9-0 win over the Nationals, striking out one batter over three perfect innings.
A nearly 90-minute rain delay ended any chance Holmes might have had of making history, but the right-hander faced the minimum number of batters on just 26 pitches (16 strikes) before the umpires shut things down. Holmes has held the opposition scoreless in four of six outings since the beginning of August, delivering a 2.73 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 17:10 K:BB over 29.2 innings during that stretch with a 3-1 record. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Rays.

Holmes carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning, throwing 55 of 94 pitches for strikes with a whopping 16 whiffs.

Braves' Grant Holmes: Scoreless streak comes to crashing halt
Rotowire
Holmes (7-5) took the loss against Arizona on Saturday, allowing six runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three batters over 3.2 innings.
Holmes came into Saturday with back-to-back outings of six scoreless frames, and he looked good in recording two strikeouts in a perfect first inning. The wheels fell off thereafter, however, as the Diamondbacks tagged him for three runs in each of the following two frames. Holmes was allowed to return for the fourth inning but was pulled after issuing back-to-back two-out walks. The outing was tied for his second-shortest appearance of the season, behind only a two-inning, three-run performance that was cut short by rain against San Francisco on June 16. Holmes will look to bounce back in his next start, which is projected to be a road matchup against the White Sox.

Braves' Grant Holmes: Serves up three home runs
Rotowire
Holmes took a no-decision Thursday against the Nationals, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out four.
The high-powered Washington lineup tagged Holmes for a trio of home runs Thursday, two of which came off the bat of Daylen Lile. The right-hander is without a quality start since June 3 versus the Blue Jays, but he hasn't given up more than three runs in an outing since May 1 in Colorado. Holmes will bring a 3.88 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 87:45 K:BB over 102 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the division-rival Marlins.

Rotowire
Holmes didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Orioles, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five across five innings.

Furthermore, Holmes hasn't given up more than three earned runs in any outing since May 1, when he allowed six runs (five earned) against the Rockies at Coors Field, posting a 3.45 ERA and 1.38 WHIP since then. His next start is slated to come against the Mets on the road.

Braves' Grant Holmes: Nabs sixth win Sunday
Rotowire
Holmes (6-4) earned the win Sunday against Texas, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out two.
Holmes wasn't at his best Sunday, tying a season worst in hits allowed while matching a season low in strikeouts. The 30-year-old right-hander hasn't worked into the sixth inning in seven consecutive starts, fanning just two on four occasions while posting a concerning 21:14 K:BB during that span. Holmes will bring what's still a decent 3.70 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 78:41 K:BB over 92.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance in Baltimore.

Braves' Grant Holmes: Wins in return to rotation
Rotowire
Holmes (5-4) earned the win against the Mets on Friday, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and one walk with two strikeouts over five innings.
Holmes allowed a two-run homer in the third inning but kept the Mets off the board otherwise, throwing 56 of 82 pitches for strikes with eight whiffs. The 30-year-old has now yielded just two earned runs over his past three appearances, including one in bulk relief, and owns a 3.83 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 71:38 K:BB across 82.1 innings this season. It's currently unclear what his role will be for his next outing.

Braves' Grant Holmes: Might remain in bullpen
Rotowire
Holmes could remain in Atlanta's bullpen moving forward, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Holmes made 15 starts for Atlanta before tossing four scoreless relief innings during his last appearance against the Giants on Saturday. While Holmes could make another start Thursday versus the Cardinals if Hurston Waldrep is needed in relief Wednesday, the club's preference is to keep Holmes in the bullpen. The right-hander has collected a 3.96 ERA and 69:37 K:BB over 77.1 frames this season.

Braves' Grant Holmes: Inefficient in tough-luck loss
Rotowire
Holmes (4-4) allowed one run on three hits and five walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings to take the loss versus San Diego on Monday.
Holmes threw 53 of 91 pitches for strikes. Manny Machado's solo shot in the fourth inning was the lone run, but Holmes' five walks were a season high that made this outing worse than what the runs column would suggest. The right-hander's June has been a bit disrupted, with a short start versus the White Sox on June 9 before his last outing was abbreviated by rain against the Giants. He's given up nine runs over 16.1 innings with a 12:12 K:BB over his four starts this month. Overall, Holmes has a 4.17 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 65:37 K:BB across 73.1 innings through 15 starts. Until he can trim down his 4.5 BB/9, he'll be a risky option in fantasy. Holmes' next start is projected to be in San Francisco over the weekend.

Braves' Grant Holmes: Takes no-decision in short start
Rotowire
Holmes did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two over 3.2 innings.
Holmes turned in his shortest start of the season Tuesday, as the right-hander surrendered a two-run homer to Miguel Vargas in the third inning before allowing another run to score in the fourth. After that run crossed the plate, Holmes loaded the bases and was lifted before he could escape the jam. While the abbreviated outing was disappointing, Holmes has done a decent job limiting damage this season, holding opponents to three or fewer runs in 12 of his 13 starts. He now owns a 4.05 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 59:29 K:BB across 66.2 innings and is lined up to face the Mets in his next start.

Braves' Grant Holmes: Early exit in no-decision
Rotowire
Holmes didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 8-3 win over the Reds, giving up three runs on seven hits and a walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out five.
The right-hander got handed a 4-0 lead before he took the mound for the bottom of the second inning, but Holmes wasn't efficient enough to stick around and collect the win, getting lifted after 80 pitches (52 strikes) with the tying runner on base for Cincy. Holmes put together a bumpy May, going 1-1 in five starts with a 4.38 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 28:11 K:BB over 24.2 innings. He'll try to tighten things up in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Blue Jays.

Rotowire
Holmes (3-1) earned the win against the Red Sox on Sunday, allowing five hits and one walk while generating four strikeouts over six innings.
Holmes was efficient, throwing 58 of 87 pitches for strikes and earning his fourth quality start of the year. It marked the second time in nine outings the 30-year-old walked only one batter, and he's now yielded three earned runs or fewer eight times. He'll carry a 3.80 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 38:22 K:BB across 47.1 innings into a home matchup against the Nationals next weekend.

Braves' Grant Holmes: Limits Cubs in no-decision
Rotowire
Holmes did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cubs, allowing two runs on one hit and four walks while striking out five over four innings.
Holmes looked strong through three innings, allowing only one baserunner, before faltering in the fourth. The only hit he allowed all day came in the inning, a solo homer by Alex Bregman, and he immediately unraveled afterward by issuing three straight walks to load the bases before allowing an RBI groundout. The right-hander has had trouble working deep into games lately, failing to complete six innings in four of his last five starts while also surrendering five home runs during that stretch. Holmes now owns a 4.35 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 34:21 K:BB across 41.1 innings and is scheduled to face Boston next.

Braves' Grant Holmes: Subpar showing in no-decision
Rotowire
Holmes didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Rockies, allowing six runs (five earned) on seven hits and three walks across five innings. He struck out four.
This was far from Holmes' best outing, though the expectations weren't very high considering the disadvantage that Coors Field represents from a pitching perspective. The reality is that Holmes has been trending in the wrong direction, as he has just one quality start over his last four outings. During that stretch, the right-hander has a 5.95 ERA and 1.53 WHIP with a 15:9 K:BB across 19.2 innings. He's scheduled to make his next start on the road against the Mariners next week.

Braves' Grant Holmes: Six Ks in 6.2 strong innings
Rotowire
Holmes (1-1) notched the win Wednesday against the Angels, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks in 6.2 innings. He struck out six.
Holmes was tagged for a pair of extra-base hits, with one leaving the yard, but he otherwise produced a very strong outing. The right-hander generated 13 whiffs, and he notably escaped a bases-loaded jam to finish a two-run second inning and limit the damage. Holmes owns a 2.55 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 14:8 K:BB over 17.2 innings, and he should maintain streaming appeal with a favorable matchup versus the Marlins set for his next start.

Braves' Grant Holmes: Strong showing against Arizona
Rotowire
Holmes allowed a hit and three walks while striking out four over six shutout innings in a no-decision versus Arizona on Friday.
Holmes and Eduardo Rodriguez had a pitchers' duel. While Holmes didn't last as long in the game, exiting at 85 pitches (52 strikes) over his six frames, Atlanta got the win in the end with a two-run ninth inning. Holmes has allowed three runs over 11 innings across his two starts, scattering six hits while posting an 8:5 K:BB so far. The right-hander had some positive moments in 2025, pitching to a 3.99 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 123:54 K:BB across 115 innings over 22 regular-season appearances (21 starts). He'll still need to improve at limiting walks, but he's shown enough strikeout potential to be an interesting fantasy option. The 30-year-old's next start is projected to be on the road against the Angels.

Braves' Grant Holmes: Dominant outing against Bucs
Rotowire
Holmes struck out nine and walked one over five scoreless, no-hit innings in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.
The right-hander built up to 64 pitches (41 strikes) as he dominated a Pittsburgh lineup that featured most of its likely Opening Day starters, including Bryan Reynolds, Ryan O'Hearn and Marcell Ozuna. Holmes has yet to allow an earned run this spring, posting a 16:6 K:BB through 12.1 innings, and he's locked into an Opening Day rotation spot due to injuries to Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow), Hurston Waldrep (elbow) and Joey Wentz (knee).
