Braves' Grant Holmes: Filling open rotation spot
Grant Holmes will start Tuesday's game against the Reds in Cincinnati, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.Atlanta will bring Holmes back from the bullpen to fill the rotation spot vacated by Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder), who was placed on the 15-day injured list last Wednesday. Holmes has previously made four starts for Atlanta, but he's worked exclusively in relief for the past month and hasn't covered more than two innings or 33 pitches in any of his last eight appearances. With that in mind, Holmes will likely be on a restricted pitch count Tuesday and could struggle to reach the five innings he would need to qualify for a win.

Braves' Grant Holmes: Earns first win
Grant Holmes (1-0) picked up the win over the Giants on Wednesday, allowing two runs on eight hits and one walk over seven innings while striking out six.Holmes didn't get off to the start he'd hoped for, surrendering a leadoff home run to Tyler Fitzgerald on the first pitch he threw before also allowing a single in the opening frame. However, the right-hander recovered nicely, keeping the Giants off the board before allowing an RBI single in the seventh. It marked Holmes' first win on the campaign, and he's now recorded at least six strikeouts in three of his last four starts. On the downside, he's also allowed multiple runs in three consecutive outings and has coughed up a long ball in four straight games.

Braves' Grant Holmes: Staying in rotation
Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Tuesday that Grant Holmes will remain in the rotation as the club's No. 5 starter in the wake of Reynaldo Lopez (forearm) landing on the injured list, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.Though Lopez hadn't pitched since July 28, Atlanta had been holding out hope for a little over a week that the right-hander would avoid a stint on the IL before he was finally deactivated Monday. Holmes had already made starts in his last two appearances while Max Fried (forearm) was on the shelf, and though Fried has since been activated, Lopez's absence will extend Holmes' run in the rotation. Since receiving his first MLB call-up in mid-June, Holmes has compiled a 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB in 33 innings over 12 appearances. Despite his quality numbers between the bullpen and rotation, Holmes doesn't profile as an appealing streaming option for his next start, which is expected to fall this weekend against the Rockies at hitter-friendly Coors Field.

Braves' Grant Holmes: Allows three runs
Grant Holmes allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus Miami on Saturday.Holmes was unable to replicate his previous outing in which he logged five innings of one-run ball. Jake Burger tagged him for a solo home run and an RBI single, and Jesus Sanchez added an RBI double to tie the game in the fifth inning. This may have been Holmes' last turn through the rotation, as Atlanta will get Max Fried (forearm) back Sunday and will hope to see Reynaldo Lopez (forearm) return next week. For the season, Holmes has a 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB over 33 innings over 12 appearances (two starts).

Braves' Grant Holmes: Drawing second start
Grant Holmes is slated to start Saturday's game against the Marlins.Holmes had made his first 10 MLB appearances out of the Atlanta bullpen, but he was called upon for a start in Monday's game against the Brewers. He took a no-decision in Atlanta's 8-3 loss, covering five innings and striking out eight while allowing just one run on three hits and no walks. The performance was enough to earn Holmes a second turn through the rotation, but he could be at risk of heading back to the bullpen as soon as next week if both Max Fried (forearm) and Reynaldo Lopez (forearm) are ready to make starts.

Braves' Grant Holmes: Strikes out eight in no-decision
Grant Holmes allowed a run on three hits and struck out eight without walking a batter over five innings in a no-decision versus Milwaukee on Monday.Making his first career start, Holmes pitched well. The lone run on his line was a Rhys Hoskins solo shot in the fifth inning, the first homer Holmes has allowed in the majors. Operating mostly as a long reliever, he has a 2.54 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 29:5 K:BB through 11 appearances. The 28-year-old right-hander is not guaranteed to remain in the rotation, as Atlanta could trade for a starter or get Reynaldo Lopez (forearm) and Max Fried (forearm) back from their injuries in early August.
