Holt was released by Atlanta on Thursday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Holt was in camp as a non-roster invitee and was trying to win a bench spot, but he was granted his release after it became apparent he wouldn't beat out either of Phil Gosselin or Pat Valaika for a utility infield job. Holt will now look elsewhere to find a job, but getting an opportunity in the majors may prove difficult, especially with spring training winding down. He's heading into his age-34 season and has hit .209/.281/.291 over the last two years.
