Summary
- Grant Holman was claimed off waivers by Diamondbacks, then lost to Dodgers.

- He possesses a mid-90s fastball and an upper-80s splitter.

Right-handed reliever Grant Holman, an offseason acquisition by the Arizona Diamondbacks, has been claimed by the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Diamondbacks had acquired Holman via waivers from the Athletics this past offseason. He was recently designated for assignment by Arizona to make room on their 40-man roster.
Holman, aged 25, brings a 4.66 career ERA over 40 MLB appearances with the Athletics in 2024 and 2025. His pitching arsenal includes a fastball that reaches the mid-90s and a splitter in the upper-80s. He pitched one scoreless inning in Cactus League play for Arizona before being sent to Triple-A on March 8.
Arizona had prioritized acquiring pitchers with strong velocity and raw stuff. While Holman may not have been viewed as a long-term starter, his potential as a major league reliever was recognized. However, his development will now occur within the organization of a top National League competitor.
